Pretty bad actually. First they pointed fingers at Forsaken and Asgard for co-raiding. Then they took on Taken and haven't really improved. This just reeks or desperation for attention when you look at the mobs Forsaken and Asgard are killing.

what's desperate? rampage got their 100th ST key last night.

cothquest isn't gonna be a 100% success rate for anyone, which is why y'all love it so much.

Ya'll ?

All cothing does from my point of view is take auto-fire out of the equation. Which means better players and guilds should have more success. Rampage has fallen off drastically since that change.

What does it change ? Weren't you guys sitting pullers on spawns before instead of CotHing and then using gate potions ? Where is the skill in that ? All cothing does is ensure that people are playing fairly and within the rules of the server. Seems to most of the server Rampage is the guild complaining because they have to manually push a button for once.

Someone just messaged me that Rampage had to concede 2 mobs this week for training people. Confirm or deny ?

Yes. It means players who pay attention and have better reflexes get the first pull. Instead of depending on any sort of automation. How can you not see that ? EQ is not a big skill based game to begin with. It's learn mechanics and perform them correctly.

Well played, sir. Lets define downfall though, shall we?

down·fall
ˈdounˌfôl/

a loss of power, prosperity, or status.

Has Rampage lost:

Power: Check (Hokushin executes a FLURRY of petitions. Hokushin misses.)
Prosperity: Check (Needs an alliance to continue competing)
Status : Check (No longer the definite Number One)

Now lets define Ascension:

as·cen·sion
əˈsen(t)SH(ə)n/
noun
the act of rising to an important position or a higher level.

Has Forsaken risen:

To an important position: Check (Our very own Hitler video signifying rustled jimmies)
To a higher level: Check: (Sleepers mobs slain, Vulak'Aerr dead)

Any notion that I'm somehow jealous of FA or pixelhungry but can't get any pixels cause I'm "stuck in BDA" is hilarious.

Correct you don't need 93 people for Lady M, we have killed here with high 30s to low 40s. However competition has gotten it to a point where everything is insta pulled so having 93 at prime time means nothing. It's about have 40 people fast at 4am.

Pretty bad actually. First they pointed fingers at Forsaken and Asgard for co-raiding. Then they took on Taken and haven't really improved. This just reeks or desperation for attention when you look at the mobs Forsaken and Asgard are killing.

It hurts forsaken and asgard because they can't train Rampage and lie about it for a free Dagarn kill while a third guild they are allied with is poop socking CT....FA can't raise the numbers they needed to do AoW now...plus Taken never screams concede or SHOW ME THE LOGS in ooc like petulant children when they lose an FTE so I'm sure rampage is glad to hang out with them =D

Its always amused me how with both TMO and then later Forsaken that their measurements of success are constantly fluctuating to only be aligned with what TMO/Forsaken were/are currently killing. With TMO if they lost PD but got all the outside targets, then PD suddenly didn't matter. If they lost all the outside mobs but managed to get PD, then suddenly PD was the only thing that mattered.

Now dozens of vulaks didn't matter whatsoever, but the moment Forsaken kills one all the sudden theyre the #1 guild on the server.

Also sleepers suddenly doesnt mean anything according to forsaken even though primals boost your guild's dps a noticeable amount.

Statistics works just fine in the discrete case. The spore king is a classic multinomial distribution: each random variable (a dead spore king) is one of N (3) possibilities. The variance is one (although, not a particularly enlightening one) estimation of how varied the resulting sets of items can be. A multinomial distribution has a covariance matrix where:

The diagonal entries X[i,i] have value n * p_i * (1- p_i), the same as the binomial distribution.
The covariance entries X[i,j] have value - n * p_i * p_j, with the variance being negative because the more of one kind you get, the less you get of the others.


If you don't believe me, feel free to check wikipedia. Anyway, to compute the covariance matrix X we first estimate the drop rates:

find . -name *.txt | xargs grep "looted a Fungus Covered Scale Tunic" 2>/dev/null | wc -l
35
find . -name *.txt | xargs grep "looted a Fungi Covered Great Staff" 2>/dev/null | wc -l
3
find . -name *.txt | xargs grep "looted a Robe of Living Fungus" 2>/dev/null | wc -l
18

That's 56 spore king kills, with a 5.3% chance of a staff, 32.1% chance of a robe, and a 62.5% chance of a tunic. Since I highly doubt Nilbog enters values to the 1/10 of a percent, I'm rounding to {Staff: 5%, Robe: 30%, Tunic: 65%}.

Letting n = 1 for simplicity, and ordering the outcomes as {tunic, robe, staff} gives X = {{0.2275, -0.195, -0.0325}, {-0.195, .21, -.015}, {-0.0325, -0.15, .0475}}. .2275 is the variance of the tunic as I mentioned earlier.

Raev, if you can just compute the variance I will give you a million plat and acknowledge your infinite superiority. Show me the number. Inquiring minds want to know.

[Thu Feb 14 08:58:37 2013] Jeremy says, 'maybe I just can't wrap my brain around what it actually describes'


Ghwerig and I were basically saying the same thing about CLT (that the standard deviation of an average goes down with sample size as sqrt(n)), which Wikipedia says better:

By the law of large numbers, the sample averages converge in probability and almost surely to the expected value µ as n → ∞. The classical central limit theorem describes the size and the distributional form of the stochastic fluctuations around the deterministic number µ during this convergence. More precisely, it states that as n gets larger, the distribution of the difference between the sample average Sn and its limit µ, when multiplied by the factor √n (that is √n(Sn − µ)), approximates the normal distribution with mean 0 and variance σ2. For large enough n, the distribution of Sn is close to the normal distribution with mean µ and variance σ2/n

Note that he mentions how the variance could easily be computed 'if only we know the drop probabilities'.

I really don't see why you find this confusing. The random variable in question is the number of tunics, robes, and staves after killing N kings. The average is the expected number of each, and the variance represents how large the deviation from the average is likely to be.

The Central Limit Theorem states:

The sample mean of a large random sample of random variables with mean μ and finite variance σ˛ has approximately a normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ˛/n.

It does not address convergence because not all instances have the same rate of convergence. The fact is that the drop rates are not identical, so this situation is not iid. To get a 'standard normal distribution', you need to use another variable, (X - μ)/σ.

Raev
12-26-2015, 03:26 PM
I don't see why you think the situation is not IID. Each instance of the spore king is independent and identical. As you kill more and more, the expected number of drops should be N(U*n, S^2) where u = [0.65, 0.30, 0.05] and S^2 would be the diagonal entries of the matrix I calculated earlier.

So you are considering the king to be the variable. I took the drops to be the variable. The drops are not iid, and if you are calculating the probability of the drops, you should consider the drops as the variable. Either way though, the CLT specifically mentions, a 'large' random sample (large number of kings) of random variables (drops).

Either way though, the CLT specifically mentions, a 'large' random sample (large number of kings) of random variables (drops).

I don't quite understand what you mean by the drops vs the king as the choice of the random variable. The multinomial distribution seems very natural to me as it mimics how the loot table works. Are you suggesting that it is better to model it with three separate boolean variables, i.e. P(Tunic), P(Robe), and P(Staff)? Even here, I don't see why each variable would not be IID wrt other instances of itself, and I would think CLT would apply just fine. In other words, the average number of tunics per king should approach the mean and have a gaussian distribution even though the event itself is a discrete 0/1.

P.S. Jeremy, where's my 1M pp

That's exactly what I was saying, except to me they are just discrete variables. :) If you look at the "the average number of tunics per king", I guess I can agree with you. If you are saying, the probability that a tunic will drop, then I would say they are not identical because the probability of the different items is different.
