Stoofer's 2nd Law

[Delvar]

An infinitely extended thread will have at least 1 post containing '

vote: name

' has a problem in the statement. It (Stoofer's law) asks for the outcome(vote statement) exists in a thread where we can assume an infinite length; we can imagine an infinite thread has at least one post of any given combination of letters; e.x.

a

b

raj's law.

raj is always right.

raj shouldnt be lynched.

you must love raj.

and therefore we can say that the sequence '

vote: name

' will exist just as much as even

voTE: NamE

will exist, or any other variant. Stoofer's law is indeed correct; and it doesn't even require Mafia players to be around. Thus I ask for it to be changed to remove the part where Mafia players exist; it is extraneous.

And the equation? P = 1 - 1/n for n as threadlength. Not exactly correct; but it satisfies my assumptions that infinite thread length grants a vote post.

No its not. The law might be not exact enough: the mafia players existence must be there because the name part is the name of a mafia player.

The series of letters will arise anyway; it is not necessary for the 'posters' of this infinite thread to be mafia-players.

Of course. [, b, and ], (/ included) are all equally likely to appear as any other letter/character.

Given enough time, since the human race has already developed a 'mafia' game, I'm sure a discussion forum will 'create' this game from the process of forum evolution.
