A friend of mine is doing a survey on the experiences of Starcraft players for a school project, please fill it out.

http://tinyurl.com/starcraftsurvey

It should take less than 10 minutes.

Thanks!

RESULT Pdf
Tony just sent me his pdf that he's using to present his assignment tomorrow. Some interesting stuff

Thanks for all of the responses, blew away the numbers that all of his classmates got!

http://images.kelsin.net/SCpresentation-handout.pdf

More Info
As most people are saying this survey is very short. Most people take only about a minute.

A lot of people were asking for an explanation. I know he's a PhD student in education and this is for a communications course he is taking. Here is what my friend wrote about it:

Hi, I am a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. This semester I am doing coursework that examines different activities by internet communities. In this survey I am hoping to gather data about the experiences of StarCraft 2 players in terms of what is acceptable behavior and usage of slang specific to this game.

I will post results here once I am done collecting and analyzing responses.

Thanks!


Once my friends sends me any result analysis, I will post it.

He's gotten a great response (over 1700!), thanks a lot for everyone that answered.

Pre-Result Stuff
So far he just showed me this image (not final version but still cool):

Could you please let us know about the results, then we can compare it to the Blizzard statistics.
Especially concerning race and league distribution.

Also, would this be a good explanation for cheese?

Going for a short-termed strategy, which either leads to very quick win or lose, but has very less or no option to go into lategame.

I know he wanted me to know where I posted so he can post a follow up later, so results etc will definitely be coming once the responses slow down.

I will ask him for an explanation of the project and post if I get one.

He's an education PhD student at the moment, but I don't know anything else about the project yet

took the survey/

How many multiplayer games of StarCraft II have you played in the last month?


The options are between 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50+... seems like you would want a larger scope of options, i am gonna assume more people on this site have over 50. Fifty games isn't really a lot for a month. There is no way to distinguish between a person like me who plays 50 games a month and between a pro-gamer who plays 50 games a day.

I have a few friends who I consider somewhat serious SC2 players who haven't played 200 games since release yet.

Cool survey though. Tell us what you're trying to find out and the results soon please ^^

You really should include a column about how often the person filling out the form makes sexist/vulgar/racist comments while playing. I know I certainly do, at least in team games.

In this survey I am hoping to gather data about the experiences of StarCraft 2 players in terms of what is acceptable behavior and usage of slang specific to this game.

I will post results here once I am done collecting and analyzing responses.

Thanks!


This is for a communications course he's taking this term.

I will post a link to any results or whatever once he gets them. He's very thrilled with the number of responses so thanks guys

I think you should have separated the "glhf" with the "gg" since many people might start out with it, but not say gg at the end.

Also just want to note that the game numbers aren't that crazy. TL members probably play way more than average, but I'm sure there are many people (like me) who follow tournaments, but also need time to study and only get a chance to actually play on weekends.

This. 80% of the games where someone says glhf, they will not say gg if I end up winning.

He was originally aiming not only for a TL audience (hence me posting this for him).

Also it allows for very quick answers. All of us know to just hit 50+ immediately!

My cheese definition:

An opening that seeks to create an unbeatable advantage by hiding structures or cutting economy, usually results in an auto-win if not scouted, fails horribly if scouted. Examples: 6 pool, proxy 2 gate, cannon rush.

Cheese- A build generally out of the norm designed to win you the game early with no contingency plan; or in a manner easily stopped if properly prepared for, therefore relying heavily on your opponent not being prepared.

Just fyi, you're going to get biased results in asking for "what type of gameplay do you play, 1v1/singleplayer, multiplayer, etc." because most likely one of your biggest sources is from TL.

He fully realizes that. I mentioned that numerous times but reaching out to casual sc2 players is much harder. The response from the official sc2 is lackluster at best of course

According to what he's told me, that's actually one aspect he gets to discuss with his class, bias based on who you have the best access too!

I did this, although, I always say GL HF, but I rarely say gg unless its for a tourney or something, since usually games that take less than 10 minutes are just them thor dropping and mass banshee harass until I leave, I prefere games that are slightly drawn out, although I do have some respect for people who have perfected these strategies by executing them 1000x

Cheesing: Using tactics that require significantly more skill to defeat than to implement. Often used by inferior players to defeat superior ones.

That's what I wrote too, but I simplified it a bit. An early all-in with no follow up.

As this is a survey about "acceptability" in our community, I would have liked to see a question asking whether or not the user thought of cheesing, as per their own definition, as acceptable or not.

That being said, I think it might shed some light on some interesting trends, assuming that the sample size is large enough!

Just add a simple word cloud made from the cheese responses, just a quick thing my friend sent me, might not be the final version. He's had over 1700 responses and his professors are blown away, thanks guys!

loll guys...
A 'cheese' is a strategy that relies on stealth and hiding information in hopes of catching your opponent off guard. A trait of which is, if scouted and properly responded to, almost always fails and the cheeser has barely any way of coming back.

This was really interesting data to have. Obviously the respondents from TL are a very specific and atypical segment of the total SC2 population, but even so it was really interesting reading. I would love to see more research/data like this actually, from TL or wider. I find the whole "SC2 culture" re gg and the like to be really intriguing, as I do attitudes towards cheesing and stalemating games and the like.

Thank you very much for posting the results here, and I'm very much behind anyone else who might be moved to do this kind of research.

Thanks!

I'd like to see the data compiled against each other according to rank. As in how bad manner, race distributions, and all other data points compare according to the rank of the player that provided the data.
