Let's all download stuff from a place that is constantly riddled with keyloggers!



Heh. Hey Demo, you still playing Immortal in Rift?

Here is what is "communicated" to me with your post:

"Hi, I am a student at CSU, and was too scared or too inept (or both) to major in anything that required Calculus, so please help me obtain a useless degree in "communications" with this useless survey, so that I may work at McDonald's after graduation and complain that I am underemployed."


Good luck with your "career".


Sounds like what he "communicated" with you hit a little too close to home. Was your boss at Micky D's really that mean?



kool, its pretty much the condensed version of what we've told the last 168 cawkflops that came here for a "survey for my communications thesis", and none of them were even close to being so brazen as to "require the download of an addon"....

I stand by my statement. If you are are dedicated to defending him, then I can only assume that you are either also in the communications field, or just as inept and scared of Calculus, or both.

I sense some latent anger and hostility there.



On the contrary, people who more easily let out their anger tend to not have any that is latent.

I stand corrected and would like to change the word latent for blatant. LOL

Hi there. I'm one of the lead researchers on this project, "Shadows in Dalaran." I am Rosa M. Martey, Assistant Professor at Colorado State University (http://lamar.colostate.edu/~rmikealm/)

What we did for this study is create an add on you download from Curse.com (after filling out a stupid survey, I admit) and then schedule you to play a custom quest line in a party with other participants. We have you create a new level 1 toon on a specific server and then we port you to Dalaran where we've set up the quest. We use researchers as "NPCs" and you click things on the interface to "interact" and get quest windows, completions, etc.

This isn't an RP event, it's just a quest you do in a group. We give a 30 day game card to people who do the study as a thank-you for their time (about 90 minutes).

You can read more about the add on here: http://scribes.colostate.edu/addons.html
And more about the study here: http://scribes.colostate.edu/aboutStudy.html
And see the sign up page here: http://scribes.colostate.edu

Please feel free to email me for more information at rosa.martey@colostate.edu.

The only saving grace for this thread is the fact that Gutter used the word "cawkflops".
