I just had this error also, I think. A red bar on top appeared with the same error message, I think (it disappeared after a few seconds). The edit was around 80 entries with a mix of new pages and link to existing pages.

I run windows 10 and Chrome's latest build, 57.0.2987.133. I do run uBlock Origin, but have it disabled on this site. I also have JavaScript to not run by default, but it is enabled for this site: "www.giantbomb.com" on both port 80 and 443.

The URL for the page was https://www.giantbomb.com/fract-osc/3030-37824/credits/ and I tried submitting the credits today the 07 April at around 16:45 UTC.

The only error in the console was "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)" and 4 entries for "XHR finished loading: GET "https://www.giantbomb.com/api/user/thump-thump".

If it is helpful, I can try adding the credits again under different settings of your suggestion?

Thank you.

@redbullet685: Nope, sadly only PC. And yes, it would be nice to have the vita daily runs also!

Hello everyone,

A couple weeks ago, I decided to make a spreadsheet to keep track of my own daily challenges competition with someone else. I also included a bit of "statistics" for fun. Seeing the twitter bot ( https://twitter.com/KlepekVsRemo ) I tough that some of you might be interested in some Remo vs Patrick data! Tonight I decided to swap the data in my spreadsheet and replace it with Patrick and Remo runs.

These are more "statistics" than statistics. I'm not a statistician and I chose to bend a lot of rules. Hence the stuff here must be taken with a grain of salt, especially anything related to standard deviation (t test), the data right now doesn't seem to adhere to a bell curve. This means that it may be horribly wrong.

(The link is further down if you want to skip my brief summary of what data I have now.)

As of January 31, 2014:

  • Remo has 138 consecutive runs.
    • He had an average run of 61 965 $, reached on average level 2-1 and has an average rank of 1612.
    • His best run made him 571 975 $ while his worst run only made him 625 $.
    • He has amassed 8 551 175 $ over the course of all his runs.
    • His median, 30 838 $, point toward his runs having extreme values (occasional runs that are way better than his average run)
    • His standard deviation, 95 643 $, point towards great variance between runs (his first run is really great, then the next one can be really bad).
  • Patrick has 5 consecutive runs and 19 total runs.
    • His average run is 79 588 $, just a bit better than Remo, reached on average level 2-2 and has an average rank of 1877.
    • His best run is 328 875 $, 243 100 $ less than the best run of Remo.
    • His median and standard deviation, 43 800 $ and 88 845 $ respectively, are similar to those of Remo. The same thing could be said about them (extreme values and great variance).
  • Combined, they have raided 10 063 350 $ out of mines, temples and other special places.
  • Patrick has won 58 % of the runs while Remo has won 42 %.
  • If we compare with a student t test both averages, there is no significant proof at a 95 % level of confidence to distinguish them. Hence, we cannot at this time differentiate who has the best average run.

I would suggest to you, even if you are scared of the data and statistics to go look at the 3 Money vs time graphs. They do a pretty good job at showcasing visually just how much a run can go really good or really bad. The "Av + Std" line could be considered as: anything over is an exceptionally good run.

Spelunking with Remo & Patrick

The limitations of the analysis are as follows. It's still unclear if the score in each run represents a bell curve. For Remo, it sorta does seem that yes up too ~75 000 $. The weird dips may be cause by the values that can be collect and might disappear if a better "slices" of money where chosen, for example 10000 instead of the 7000 currently used. I'm not sure if I understand statistics enough to figure out if yes or no. As mentioned earlier, this would have as effect that the standard deviation, or anything related, would have a great chance of not really representing the data. Another problem is the "average level". The way it's calculated is: ( level x c ) / n = number (rounded), where level is a numerical value given based on the level from 1 to 20, c is the number of times the furthest level has been reached in a run and n is the number of total runs. It can kinda figure out what is the average level, but I don't really trust. Maybe a simple graph of count vs level would be better choice. Lastly, a significant issue is the low number of data points for Patrick and the number of win/loss. 19 points may not really evaluate what is going on or be fully representative.

For now, it does seem that Patrick has a slight advantage over Remo in term of wins while their average score cannot be differentiated with certainty It's also quite obvious that it is really hard to keep a good track record from day to day. If this is the case, it may lead to an interesting and close battle of wins ans losses for both of them! As Patrick increases his number of runs, the statistics may change and reveal some new things.

It would be interesting to push the statistical analysis to find out if both Remo and Klepek have improved over their play time and by how much. It would also be interesting to see if this new challenge, competing against Patrick, has affected in any way the performance level of Chris. Maybe some new contenders will add themselves to the fight (Jeff)?

I hope you guys like this post! If you have any comments, suggestions, fixes, ideas, feel free to leave a comment! (Or if you find an error in the data set.) I will try to keep it updated regularly if you guys are interested.

Have a nice day :D

I was thinking about buying this pack, but I'm still undecided. Any new toughs on the pack? And how much time does one stage take to complete on average? Thank you!

@laserbolts: So did that guy really end up having to pay the 14000$ bill?

This happened to a coworker when I was working. This client wanted to drink his own bottle of wine in the restaurant, which is illegal to do where I live. So the waiter tried explaining that he couldn't do that. For some reason, the client decided that it would be a good idea to empty the bottle of wine under the table. The waiter was pretty pissed and I don't blame him. Who likes to mop a bottle of wine?

I don't understand some people.

I'd say what @IzzyGraze was the most spot on from what I've seen.

I'm from that portion of New-Brunswick that speaks french. We are two major pockets of french speakers, the first one being in the south-east. Essentially, everyone from the south east is bilingual and can maintain a conversation in both languages. Some only speak rudimentary English, while others are perfectly bilingual. For a French speaker, English in more or less a necessity to function. For English speakers, you can do just fine without knowing French, in most cases. For example, if you go in a store, you will be served in English, but you might not served in French.

In northern New-Brunswick, the same still applies, but you have a smaller percentage of the population that is bilingual. The skill level of English for French speakers might be a bit worst in the north compared to the south-east. You have less chance of meeting someone who speaks perfectly English and more change to meet someone you might not speak English. Being to the northern of New-Brunswick, they border Quebec; hence, having a good understanding of English is less essential.

One of the things that is interesting of the french in New-Brunswick is the enormous amount of different dialect. We all speak french, but we use different slightly different words, pronunciation and grammar. Some of these dialects are so different that you might even be able to know which city someone is from. Two of the most know dialect, and maybe categories are Chiac and French Acadien. Chiac is known for it's use of english words while speaking. (We even conjugate them with French rules!) "Je starterais mon car dans la minute" "I'll start my car in a minute". French Acadien is more known for it's differing vocabulary that employs old french words that no other french speaker would use.

As it was previously stated somewhere else, New-Brunswick is officially bilingual, that means that you can get service in both English and French from the government of NB. around 2/3 of the population is English, while the rest is French.

I do know that in most of the other provinces, excluding Quebec, they have very small areas that are predominantly french. We might be talking about a small village or city that is French, while all the neighboring cities are English.

The language subject in Canada, as you might have noticed, is can be quite heated. You have some English that don't want French around, and you have some French that want to be assholes and not speak a word of English to someone even if they can speak the language. So it can degenerate pretty quickly.

As for the English speakers, the more you are West, the less you need to know french. You probably don't even need to know a word of French and you will be fine. As for Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, this includes New-Brunswick, not knowing French might limit your jobs, and more so in NB. In Quebec, you might have a hard time, with Montreal and some communities being exceptions.

If you have more questions don't hesitate!

I think it was Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. But I could be forgetting something.
