The Daedalus Project: Welcome to The Daedalus Project


	« Slideshow #3 \| Main \| The "Impossible" Romance » Welcome to The Daedalus Project [printer-friendly version] I've just completed my area exam, which is the last bureaucratic hurdle before the dissertation proposal meeting (yet another bureaucratic hurdle). I've been so busy I've hardly been able to log into WoW, but have spent some time in the BGs since the new cross-realm patch. I also picked up a Nintendo DS recently (semi-impulse buy) and have been playing Fire Emblem (GBA version) a lot. Old-school turn-based strategy can be so satisfying ... Thanks to all of you who help spread the word of this site and those who continue to participate in the surveys. I really do appreciate it.

How were the data collected? Did you use a random sample of MMPORG players, or did you allow people to self-contact you? The latter is like those polls on TV where people answer questions by calling in, and are not "scientific" in the sense of being representative of the population.
