(Tues. 18 April 2PM EDT) Guess the correlation and get up to $10

We will run an online multiplayer game as part of a MIT scientific project. The qualification HIT will take place Today (Tuesday 18th of April) at 2PM EDT time and the actual HIT will be same day at 3PM EDT (one hour later)

The HIT require people to be online simultaneously. We will run the experiment again (x2 times) in the coming days, with no repeat takers (participants are allowed to play the game only once) . The game must be played from a desktop or laptop (No mobile support).

The Qualification HIT information:
HIT title: (Qual HIT) Guess the correlation and get up to $10
Time: 2PM EDT
Expected HIT length: 1 minute


The actual HIT information:
HIT title: [Play immediately] Guess the correlation and get up to $10
Time: 3 PM EDT
Expected HIT length: 10-35 minutes (depending on condition)
HIT expectations:

• Your decision to participate in the experiment is entirely voluntary.
• 45 participates will receive the quals and 36 will play the game.
• The remaining participants (maximum 9, if everyone shows up on time) will be in the surplus room (in case someone goes idle or fails the attention checks).
• People in the surplus room will be paid the base of $2 and this will not effect their future participation in our HITs.
• The bonus varies across conditions (randomly assigned), as some conditions have longer expected play time (maximum bonus ranges from $2 to $8 based on condition)
• The average hourly pay was $14 so far.
• People who join the HIT late will receive: "Sorry, we've missed you" message. This is important to avoid the problem of people auto-accepting the HIT without playing immediately. In previous runs, we experienced 3-5 participants that accept the HIT and go idle (i.e., not showing up on time).

If you are to participate and get assigned the qualification, it is critical that you show up on time at 3PM EDT. Otherwise, it would delay the start of the game for the other participants

 

Hi! I am the person who received a qualification for the last game, but never got into the lobby. Is there perhaps a way to ensure I am able to get in this time?

 

I sent you a message to investigate your case further

 

I also got the qualification last go around, but by the time i could get the HIT , the games were full. Same question as Fiatrix. I might be a bit late in asking.

 

Sorry! the qual HIT was posted and people received the qualifications already. If you haven't for today's, then there will be another one on Thursday.

 

I wasn't speaking of the qualification. I took the qual today as well. Not sure if i got it or not, haven't checked.

Anyways, thanks for the reply. Hopefully i can get into a game this time.

 

OK so I got the email that I was qualified. Trying to grab the link and can't get it. I don't understand if you only issue so many quals, why the people that have the qual can't grab the hit?

 

The quals and number of HITs are the same (45 both) as we described it

 

What do you mean by grabbing the link and not getting it? we have already 4 people who accepted the HIT and didn't accept the terms and condition ..

 

That was fun, thank you!
