I was really interested in using the ladder rankings for a scientific study as I am really keen on the psychological consequences of playing Starcraft. I am aware of http://www.sc2ranks.com/ but I feel that it does not update that quickly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   | ||

What about the consequences of playing LoL? That game has destroyed so many lives, and now Jumper is homeless. What about the consequences of drinking expired milk? What about the consequences of playing The Sims 3: Pets? | ||

And so on. The outstanding factors, such as the person's life outside of SC2, their personality, mental development, health history, social background all may play very important roles in making a determination about their psychological disposition. I think your subject pool will either not be examined properly, or be too small, and the statistics produced could lead to an unfounded conclusion. | ||

I keep seeing Ireland beside ppls names on TL, never knew there were so many of us here, I know of at least 100 that stopped playing SC2 though  .Also, I don't know if these would be of any use to you what so ever, but on the off chance they're useful and you weren't aware of them, "useful links": http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0070350 http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2011/12/01/how-a-computer-game-is-reinventing-the-science-of-expertise-video/ Good luck! | ||

What do you base this assumption on? Your crystal ball? Sounds like you are in fact biased. Have you tried to examine a phenomena before and you are jelly? What is the statistical power of the study? Considering my sample will not be large enough? You do not even know what I want to study, or what are the accepted practices for publication within the journals I would be prospectively submitting. Nevertheless, I feel my words will fall on deaf ears (or eyes in this case), please return to underneath your bridge Nina. Why do you spend your day trolling TL? Your meaning in life is arbitrarily trolling others, I guess that makes your life pretty arbitrary! | ||
