"so then i have a proposal for a new, new economy.

1. the economy should be based on human heads as the basic form of currency
2. graphic depictions of severed human heads should be added to the game
3. drugs should be mailed to players, including 50x concentrated caffeine and sugar pills, 'energy booster' drinks in pure syrup form, and so forth and so on.
4. electrodes should be hooked from the USB port onto the players body, so they receive a horrific shock whenever they are PKd."

Changelog:

***Vendetta 1.7.40

-Lua updated to 5.1.2
-The "plugins" directory has been renamed to "snigulp" to avoid confusion with Adobe Photoshop, which is a graphics design application
-Added new glow setting called "ultra" which amplifies the full screen glow effect like things look like when you're drunk
-Fixed bug where phantom actual swarm missiles would appear after warping, destroy you, and send you back to your home station
-Added new ship called the "Pontificator" which is so powerful it will make you believe in God again
-Replaced Kourier with the same version of Kourier, but renamed it "DHL", which sounds more reliable
-Moved every station out of Edras, Pelatus, Bractus and almost all of Itani space, because no one goes there anyway
-Swapped Cantus with Latos to test new database migration and confuse people
-Added new system called "Determinata Morte" in the big empty void where everyone thinks a system shoud be but isn't
-Fixed bug where Asteroids would hail players and make lewd gestures

From #vendetta:

[19:54] <Miharu> Smittens: Given sets A and B, prove that (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ !B) = A.
[19:57] <Smittens> I don't like proofs
[19:57] <Smittens> But it's true
[19:57] <Smittens> Oh because B and !B cover everything
[19:57] <Smittens> So A will have to intersect with one term in one of those sets, and nothing in the other
[19:57] <Smittens> Because there's no overlap in !B and B
[19:58] <Smittens> And the union of A and nothing is just A
[19:58] <Smittens> Hooray!
[19:58] <Smittens> You really didn't expect me to know that, did you :)
[19:59] <Smittens> I am actually very smart, academically
[19:59] <-- Smittens has quit (Quit: Leaving)

What your "proof" amounts to is the following:
The item in A is either in B or !B, thus either A ∩ B or A ∩ !B is A
In the same thread, the item that does not evaluate to A must evaluate to the empty set(Since the item in A can either intersect in B or !B, not both)
Thus, this is equivalent to (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ !B) = A: A ∪ {} = A
The union of A and an empty set is A, thus A = A.

This is incorrect, except for your statement that you don't like proofs--in a proof, you're *given* the answer to prove. You provided a proof for another question, namely what the intersection of A and the null set (∅) is, but not the one you were given.

The correct proof, first in text format, and then set notation:
[21:07] <Nagi> Ref: #vendetta
[21:07] <Nagi> Given A and B as sets of any size, prove (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ !B) = A
[21:07] <Nagi> The intersection of A and B is all the items in set A that exist in set B(+A)
[21:07] <Nagi> The intersection of A and !B is all the items in set A that do not exist in set B(-A)
[21:07] <Nagi> The union of all the items of +A and -A is A.

(A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ !B) = A ∩ (B ∪ !B) (Distributive Laws)
A ∩ (B ∪ !B) = A ∩ U (Complement Laws)
A ∩ U = A (Identity Laws)

You're right, I didn't think you could answer the question correctly. I was right; you couldn't.

Here's a good one (from Miharu's RP):

----

"Tumblemonster," [Miharu] continued, this time with a small smile on [his?/her?] face. "I mentored this young man when he first recieved his pilot's license, and he never forgot it. An eager student, he quickly outpaced what I could teach him. I was very happy to see that he had found people who could teach him what I could not, and that he still remembered who I was. Always, he had a sense of humor with him. Always, he was courteous. For that, I give back what I could not before: a collection of jokes from all over known space." Miharu unwrapped the book and placed it in Tumblemonster's casket.

Also these are worth a good laugh, although they're kind of long and humor wasn't the original intention...(and in the ones where it was, the failure itself is pretty good)

[23:27] <Lemming> reddit needs a "i never want to see anything this dipshit posts again" button
[23:28] <Miharu> so does the VO forum
[23:29] <Lemming> sometimes i read a post on the VO forum, instinctively hunt for a mod down / ignore button, but am dismayed to only see delete
