EL research, if you want to participate, post here

[Entropy]

Someone from the Florida University would like to conduct some research about our players.

She contacted me in private explaining about the purpose of this research, and I think it is a cool idea. Don't ask for more details than the ones given already.

So on behalf of her, I am posting her message here:

 

 

Hi!

My name is Dr. Ulla Bunz and I work at Florida State University. I am doing a study on behavior and language in Eternal Lands. All people who play EL are invited to participate, no matter how “old” or “new” you are to the game!

 

I want to use forum posts that have already been made in the past, as well as statistics on people’s skill levels which also already exist in Radu’s database. I need your permission to include you in my study. If you agree to participate, simply send me a message that includes,

1.an affirmative message to show that you want to participate in the study (for example, “yes,” “I’m in,” “I opt in,” or “I agree to participate”)

2.your in-game name(s)

3.your real-life sex (male or female) though this last thing is optional and not required for participation in the study

 

You can send your message EIHTER

1.by making a forum post in this thread

OR

2.by sending a forum mail message to Researcher

 

Please send your message by November 14, 2008.

 

Before you make your decision on whether to participate or not, please read the full consent form that explains things in detail and also provides you with my contact information in case you have questions. If you don’t want to participate, simply do nothing.

 

Link to the full consent form: http://bunz.comm.fsu.edu/consentEL.html

 

Thanks in advance to all who agree to help me out!

Ulla (use “Researcher” to send me a forum message)

It said to ask questions here in the forum post so id like to ask :

 

If I participate will chat logs from in game also be used , or will it just be forum posts ?

[Entropy]

I doubt that this person can get your chat logs without your consent, unless if she is a pr0 hax0r, or you give them.

[Researcher]

I'm definitely not a hacker, and even if I was, I'm not interested in your ig chat logs, so no, those won't be used.

 

Please remember to post your in-game name if different from your forum name (and whether male/female in real life if you are willing to say).

Ulla Bunz
