We caught an 80-140 loss to {kTp} the week before on schtop but managed to bounce back this week with a 430-160 win over .jnf. Props to mezo and Grinch for making their [CS] debuts last week and this week, respectively, props to travis for talking on the phone and watching HLTV instead of playing, props to AZero for joining his old pals for round 2, and props to pyro for dominating jump_strafe2.

And now, the writeup:

R1:
Ok so we’ve got some stupid people employed. They kept writing up this one bus, unit #54, for it’s reverse(beep beep) alarm not working. The alarm does work these people are just ignorant so we got the drivers so fucking good. We replaced the normal back up alarm with this one that puts out about 107db of loudness. Yes, loudness. It’s copyrighted probably b/c it owns so hard, and this thing cost $150 so we put it on there and it’s real good and loud and people complain about it now

R2:

[22:08] yeah the admins are going to be like wtf happened r2
[22:08] we lost
[22:08] we won
[22:08] haha
[22:08] oh right we won
[22:09] oh ya
[22:09] we lost
[22:09] lol
22:09] We need to examine the true origins of the issue of Palestine: is it a fight between a group of Muslims and non-Jews? Is it a fight between Judaism and other religions? Is it the fight of one country with another country? Is it the fight of one country with the Arab world? Is it a fight over the land of Palestine? I guess the answer to all these questions is ‘no.’

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for [CS] leading up to this one. After collecting our first two victories in Bronze and having a ridiculous (for us) showing of 10 people to our title shot loss against .AI, we then went on to forfeit to aR. (earning our first strike and a forced bye in the process), play short against aR. for another loss, and play short against [BD] for yet another loss. Roster woes, a home server that’s as terrible for us as it is for the visiting clan, and an inherent disadvantage on new age #2v2lolz maps such as congestus and haste haven’t made things very easy for us.

With that out of the way, I now present you with the official match writeup, which is as ridiculous and off topic as ever (thanks to beoba for r1 and travis for r2):

Round 1

so for my directed studies class i’ve been helping out with this project called the “galactic ring survey”. its essentially a mapping of a portion of the galactic plane at a particular frequency that is emitted by carbon-13 somewhere in the infrared. it took about ten years to make, and is at a higher resolution than has ever been used for this sort of thing before. the detector that was used is essentially a 4×4 pixel (16-pixel total) camera, so imagine how many exposures were needed in order to create a real mapping.

anyway, what i’ve been doing is converting the data cubes that were produced by the project into a useful comparison of emissivity vs galactic radius. what i mean by that is, its essentially doing some trig to figure out how far away a given “pixel” is from the center of the galaxy by its longitude and velocity, then measuring the brightness at that point. you may have noticed the mention of ‘data cube’. what i mean there is that the data itself is divided into several cubes, where the three axes are latitude, longitude, and velocity (determined by doppler shift). each of these cubes have been sized to be two degrees of latitude and longitude. they extend from around 18 degrees to 50 degrees longitude and -2 to +2 degrees latitude (in galactic coordinates).

anyway, here’s the results that i got from a subset of the data. at the moment, i’ve got a cluster running the full algorithm, and it’ll probably be a couple hours before it finishes, so you’ll just have to settle for this:

the first column is galactic radius in kpc, the second is emissivity (or “brightness” at that radius, and the third is the sum pathlengths, which sorta give an idea of how much shit the light had to go through before it got to us. the 4th column is the number of data points that were found at that radius. note that this was only run on a much smaller version of the data, so the full set will have much larger numbers

also, if you load up excel or something and plot the first column vs the second column, you’ll see that the emissivity is not linear with radius, it has a few peaks and valleys, demonstrating a ringed structure around the galaxy’s center (or, gasp, a spiral!)

cs loses 50-90
