Submitted mine with a failure, though I think I played my current best. It was a placement match where I was out macroed, but put up a pretty good fight (re-established my base, held off a few attacks and such). Made a bunch of stupid mistakes, but that's my norm

Also subscribed to the e-mail list

Edit: Oh yeah... I mentioned it in my submission but thought i might as well mention it here:

Be careful about interpreting results involving the hotkey display question. Grid users like myself have no need since there's a direct physical mapping between the command card and the keyboard. Looking at the button's position is equivalent to looking at the hotkey.

Did the survey, also as an SFU student, would it be possible to drop by in a few weeks to sneak a peak at results?

Took 5 mins cool idea. Will be interested to see the conclusion(s) drawn from the results.

I feel a lot of the questions should have an option of < 1 instead of having 1 as the lowest unit. But I guess that isn't a reason enough to remake the test.

Love to help but I had some issues with some questions.

For example the sc1 questions, I don't think many beyond the really hardcore people know from what year to what year you played the game.

Also in the RTS section I found it quite hard to estimate an average. I usually crunch through a new rts in a few days or play an old rts a bit if I ever feel like it. Starcraft 2 is the only RTS I've ever had this consistent interest over a long time so I'd have to say no to frequently playing rts but by no means do I rarely play other RTS in general. On the contrary I love RTS games.

Anyway, good luck!

Good stuff, done. I was a little surprised that there was no 0-1 h per day option though. I play 1-2 h, but only just. There must be some people who play less than me (surely?).

We'll be posting results as we get them. We're expecting to collect data for 2-3 weeks, and then the analysis will take some time. We're pretty well setup for the data crunching (eyetrackers spit out a lot of data) but we are really careful about checking and double checking our analysis scripts and so on. There will also be challenges that turn up in a large data set that we didn't seen in our pilots. Those will take time to sort out.

We're eager for the results, too!

I am trying to finish this, but I don't have any 1v1 ladder reps from recently at all as I rarely play ladder and it will not let me finish without one...hmmm...anyone?
I guess I will play a ladder game later when I get home to assist you guys.

Thank You! We definitely need the replay. Sorry for the extra work. I edited the OP to make this more clear.

Since you work at SFU, which class do you teach? Just curious.

Done! Where else are you guys talking about study? If it's just TL, I'd imagine that the majority of responses would be from higher level players, maybe diamond and above. You'd probably have a better shot at drawing in lower level players from the blizzard official forums and the like..
