Thanks for your reply! I am no statistician but stats still fascinate me. Particularly in this kind of study, where the shape of the data can influence the outcomes you achieve. I would assume you have posted something on the BNET forums. How is the response from there?
Replies have been sparse. So far our biggest source of replays has been Reddit, followed by TL. Now that TL has kindly spotlighted this thread, it will generate an even bigger TL response. No luck yet enticing Husky, or Day[9] to give us a plug. We've basically emailed everyone famous, every team, and every major community. Famous people get tons of email, though, so it's hard to break through. We're still hopeful that someone big will notice the project and throw us a helping hand.

A couple of questions that just popped up...
1) Do you have any hypotheses that you're testing? (If so, what are they?)
2) Do you verify the league the players are reportedly in? (If not, how do you justify that?)
3) Do you separate the replays by game version? (idem)
4) What do you want to find?

I wonder if this is all just a scam and people are just testing to see how many people post replays of themselves winning over replays of them losing. Idk which to choose @_@.

I just chose my most recent one, I can't remember if I won or lost...

I'll just wait til I get home and play a game then. Although TBH I'd probably lean more towards posting one of me winning, or at least save one of me winning anyways. I hardly ever save replays and name them "oh my goodness i lost so hard"

done - looking forward to results

The OP has links to the AMA and the interview, which basically answers these questions.

I just used my most recent one. Im pretty sure i won it but i dont really care, i'd rather submit a replay where i played well over one where i played bad but won.

LOL. I bet if we looked, we'd find you were right. It's a pretty elaborate ruse for such a simple hypothesis though.
Once we did a learning experiment in the lab and we had this participant INSIST that the categories were unlearnable, and that what we were really studying was how long it would take people to get frustrated and quit. It took a while to calm them down and convince them that we weren't trying to trick them at all.
Those damn social psychologists and all their deceptive studies are making everyone paranoid.

Also just used my most recent one. You don't need to do an elaborate study to find people are going to submit data more favorable to themselves rather than less favorable when given the option.
I didn't read the AMAs or interview, but I got the impression they were solely taking statistics on hotkeys, screen movements, APM, and the like. Whether winning or losing, that stuff doesn't change a whole lot.

Done  Gogo TL! This project sounds pretty interesting btw.
|
Done!
I have a question btw,
Why are you asking for only one replay?
|
I feel like this is going to be highly biased by people selecting which replay they submit. Good luck, though, it's nice to see a serious attempt at something like this. I'm interested to see what you find.

We were worried that if we asked for more players, especially beginners, wouldn't do it.
