Hi! Please help out if you have time!

[Adahliah]

Hello friends,

I am a graduate student at Georgia Southern University and a WoW player, and I am interested in different perceptions of communication among the gaming community and I am collecting data from both gamers and non-gamers. This study has been approved by Georgia Southern’s IRB and the survey is completely anonymous. I would greatly appreciate your input! You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time and to skip questions.

Please note that you must be 18 years and older to take the survey. If you are willing to participate, please click the link below:

Additionally, if you know anyone who may be interested in taking this survey, please forward it to them. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

A. G. Woolems

It's a trap!

[Nelfie]

"Do you currently play massively multiplayer online role-playing games?"

Seriously? You post that on a site called mmochampion?

I wonder how your results will be..

[Tycat]

ITSA TRAP!! as ackbar would say

[Adahliah]

No! It isn't a trap!

And the reason it says that is because I'm sending this survey to non-gamers as well, to have a comparable population.

Promise it's real, just need to get some participants, please!

obv cause its a trap

[Tycat]

hes fighting for our freedom dont fall for the trap!

[Nelfie]

Well..

"Thank you for participating!" , No problem.

Trap or no trap, it kept me occupied for atleast 10 minutes, now i just need to find something else "interesting" to do..

[Kaneiac]

Filled it out, kept me entertained for a while. Was incredibly bored.

[Adahliah]

No trap!!! LOL Thanks for those of you helping me represent the gaming community and get a good sample!


lol but yeah, about the questions, all but the gaming behaviors one were previously validated through research so I couldn't change the questions even though some of them are unfortunately worded.

Very long survey, you owe me a thank you.

[Nelfie]

Yeah.. it wasnt the most entertaining test out there, would however be more fun to see the results or something in line with "Congratulations, we hereby announce you to nerd"

But "Thanks for participating" Seriously? Not even a cookie? I lost all the remaining faith in the human kind..

[Kaneiac]

It's a freaking academic survey, not a "OMG ARE YOU A EDWARD OR JACOB FAN" quiz. :P

[ComputerNerd]

You need to pick one target audience really.
Aiming it at a gaming community website will skew the numbers as to gamers over non-gamers, unless that is not an issue, but at least to me it would be.

[Adahliah]

Very long survey, you owe me a thank you.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Was that good?

I know it was somewhat boring, but hopefully the results will be awesome!! Cookies and drinks all around!

As for skewing the results, it's not really a problem at the moment because I have a lot of non-gamers who have taken it as well.

[Nelfie]

I wont be pleased until you give me a cookie.

[ILjXYZ]

Okey dokey, I completed the survey. I've also urinated in a cup and will be sending it to the University care of you.

Anything I can do to help!
