  1. Hi EMC :)

    For a school project we have to do a research. Me and two others chose to do a research about the effects of roleplaying video games (RPGs) on the daily lives of people. For this, we need to ask a few questions and we need you to perform a few tests ;)

    And what's even better, you can win prizes for participating :D
    I will be randomly giving away:
    • 1 Momentus's Helmet
    • 1 Marlix's Boots
    • 1 Vault Voucher
    to three people who leave their username after completing the form.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    To participate, fill out this form first, and remember your test results:
    Testing Survey [CLOSED]

    NOTE: If you don't game at all (then first of all, what are you doing here :D), choose a random favorite game genre and say you don't game in the question below.

    After that, to join the giveaway, enter your username and test results here:
    Giveaway Form [CLOSED]

    Giveaway will close Thursday, November 3rd at 12:00 am around 3:00 amEMC time

    Thank you in advance :)
    EDIT: I didn't make this form, so forgive the spelling/grammar issues
  2. I accidentally chose "Female" at first. :confused:
    No platforming in the genres? :( They're quite popular at the moment too, with Yooka-Laylee on the horizon!
    Top 5 most played games? Nah, never mind.
    Sorry, but that'd cost way too much time to figure out. Why do you want to know that?
  3. We want to know this because then we can see more clearly what type of gamer someone is. I'll try to have platforming added to the genre list.
  4. Yeah, but during the past 10 years of my life, I haven't been keeping track of what games I played when for how long. I've played dozens of games, how am I supposed to measure what games I've played for the most accumulative time?
  5. Ah, now I see what you mean. What we actually mean by that is what your 5 favorite games are. That's poor wording from our side. Sorry :p

    EDIT: As for the platformer issue, just choose either Action or Adventure.
  6. Ah, really? That is quite unclear, honestly, but would definitely change my answers hugely. :p For example, Minecraft would probably be in my top 5 most played games, but it definitely wouldn't be in my top 5 of favourites.
    And yeah, I figured I should choose Adventure.

  7. That was actually kind of fun to do, would it be possible for you to share your finished project? I would like to see the outcomes of these tests on the EMC community :)
  8. Yes, I will :)

  11. Now i know that I'm a genius :D

    Joking, i'm probably not THAT smart. Also I clicked a random age on the test since I'm kinda uncomfortable with saying my age even if it's for a test like this if that's alright?

  12. Why? That seems odd. You don't even have a way to fill in your name on that form, so Tim would have to match up the test results if he really wanted to know your age, and honestly, if he wanted to know your age range, he could probably guess.

  13. And matching up the result is such a hardship? The fact that its possible is enough of justfication, I believe. Everyone may have their own reasons and its totally okay from my point of view to not share this information. And he can still be filtered out as his score can be matched (if otherwise this would harm the experiment), so there is no harm to the data, if that would be a problem.

  14. I respect the decision they made, because giving out your age on the internet might not always be the best idea, especially if you don't know the person you're giving it to. Besides, it won't hurt the results that much.

  16. I know I just don't usually like saying it because people could judge what I act like from my age, it happens a lot to me so.
    I'm not like 10 or anything, I'm just being cautious :')
