Sabcat Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) An Apology from the Libertarian Socialist Federation First and foremost, it is important to get out of the way that the LSF are truly sorry for our actions towards IRON as of late. Understandbly, MCRABT and others in his alliance got quite mad at us when Optimistic got high and impersonated him on IRC as a joke, and then later when Spacemonkey, myself, and the rest of us made fun of him when he went into #LSF because we thought he was being stupid. Consequently, it is only proper that we offer our deepest apologies for offending the sensibilities of IRON. Keen on further fixing the relationship, the LSF have agreed with all of IRON's demands, which include expulsion of Optimistic and payment of token reps of 200 tech. I personally feel that that was way too much, but, it just goes to show how willing LSF are to atone for our mistakes that we have agreed to all of IRON's demands under the threat of filling the 10 slots or so we have left that haven't been filled by NoR. Right now, it is important for the LSF to maintain good public relations during these turbulant times for our alliance. On this occasion, I would like to take the opportunity to invite IRON and any other alliance to come and chill with us on IRC and get to know us. Not to be undone by NG's awesome Schrodinger's box announcement, our token physicist comrade, Pacifist Ninja, has decided to explain Quantum superposition to the rest of the community. In my first introductory quantum mechanics class I learned something that gave me a day long sense of euphoria. Nearly 100 years ago there was this issue: electrons in an atom behaving the way normal, "classical" particles do, should spiral and fall to the center of the atom. This troubling issue was solved if you "quantized" the "energy levels" of electrons, or in layman's terms, if electrons could only be in certain positions within the atom and never in between like a planet revolving around it's star. However, there was no theoretical reason for this to occur, until one brilliant man, Louis deBroglie posed a theory for his thesis. Essentially, the theory states that if you look at electrons not as particles, but as waves, we can see that the result is this "quantization of energy" levels, or orbitals. A way to visualize this is to think of a lake in which you drop two pebbles, and watch how the ripples form in the lake. See how at certain points there are peaks both upward and downward? Such a simple concept leads us directly to our desired orbitals: with the correct distribution of waves, they peak upward where the orbital is, and peak downward every where else.

In exchange for the emotional damage you have caused I demand 100 tech for each offending sentence you wrote!

Sephiroth Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm sure if IRON tried to do anything to you guys The International would have your back, so why apologize with reps? Oh wait, almost forgot your treaty with The International doesn't work that way and you guys are on your own pretty much. Good luck and nice apology.

Sabcat Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It's crazy. IRON put a time limit on it and people on IRC were shouting at me to post something, I C&P'd this off the forums and here we are. Now lots more people are shouting at me and someone not even in LSF just told me to die in a fire. People really do get excited, don't they?
