The DCC - January 25th, 2022

[Rithaniel]

Welcome to the DCC!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the DCC Discussion Thread.

How To Play

---

How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote, you receive [1] point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive [2] additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives [1] additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can participate in as many or as few days as you want in any month.

Rules

---

• Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into the thread as long as your card didn't get disqualified - see the next point for more details. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
• When you vote, you need to make exactly two votes for two different people. Vote for the cards that are listed in the first post, not other cards being posted in the thread. If you notice that you've only voted for one person, include your second vote in a post, even if you're not submitting a card.
• If you want to change your vote for any reason, post that change in the day's thread (you can include it with your card if you want). Changed votes in the discussion thread will be ignored.
• Voting for only one person, for three or more people, or for yourself will earn you an asterisk by your name in the monthly leaderboard. So will failing to vote if you've posted a card. (We're not going to do anything about people who don't vote or post cards; that would be kind of silly.) This indicates that you're on probation for the next 21 days. If you're on probation and you make another improper vote, your card will be disqualified. Repeated disqualification is grounds for warnings and/or infractions for not following the game rules, so please don't do it.
• Voting for everything in the poll will be grounds for a lifetime ban from the DCC. Don't do it. It just wastes the thread creators' time.
• If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name to the render.
• This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread. If it's a question, comment, or complaint about probation, PM void_nothing and/or the month's DCC organizer.
• When posting make sure that:
  • You have included all of the previous day's entries.
  • You update the leaderboard with the previous day's scores.

(An easy way to post the new thread is to hit the multiquote button on every post in the previous day's thread, then click Post Reply. Select everything in this post, copy it, and then paste it into the first post for a new thread. You'll have to clean up a few small things, like quote tags around the opening post and the previous day's cards.)

Notes of the Day

---

So, connected spaces are another kind of topological space, and they generalize the idea of a space being one continuous thing, with nothing disconnected from the whole. It's a simple property, really.

The proper definition of a connected space is any space where the parent set cannot be written as the disjoint union of two non-empty open sets. In other words, you don't have any sets other than the empty set and the parent set which are clopen. Because, if some set were clopen, then it and its complement are both open, and when you union something with its complement, you get the whole space.

This is essentially like saying that, if you have two open sets in the space and you swell them up as large as they can be while remaining open, you can never get the entire space. As these blobs grow and try to fill up things up, no matter how big they get, there is always a thin "edge" between them gluing them together. If you ever get that edge, either the sets overlap (and are therefore no longer disjoint), or they stop being open.

An example of a connected space are metric spaces, which you might remember from earlier in the month. Also, the co-finite topology on an infinite set, where a set is open only if it contains the entire space minus a finite list of points, is connected, because no two open sets are ever disjoint.

Fabulously skilled and independently wealthy beyond all measure, the elven axeman Ringshal Bacaeris has long competed in the top echelon of Valor's Reach fights. For an elf on Kylem, the greatest honor is to be venerated by all who bear your family name, but although Ringshal has earned that many times over, he'll never achieve it: he's the last of his line, having lost his parents and siblings, and is himself barren, meaning tragically no descendants of the Bacaeris family will ever write ballads about him or erect statues of him.
