I am posting a HIT to evaluate feasibility of short-term recruiting on this forum. If interested, please request the qualification on the HIT: the first 4 players to request will be granted. HIT Posted At: 5:10 PM Eastern Standard Time (US) Requester ID: AWT9GK7R2DYHY HIT Title: ForumTest1 Play a 4 player game for around 20 minutes - includes time for instructions and actual gameplay Base Pay is $0.50. Bonus payment up to an additional $10 USD (average of around $5 if 4 players indeed show up) Bonus payments only available if at least 4 players show up There will be a lobby. If you wait in the lobby for >3 minutes, you will have the opportunity to exit the game and collect the base pay of $0.50.
@MultiplayerGames you should probably mention that there's a disqual for those who have already played. Seeing as you're trying to limit the number of people you're qualling, you wouldn't want to waste qualling people who are ineligible.
Good point. This HIT didn't gather enough people for the game to move beyond lobby; since this happened, I'll create a new qualification so those who just ended the game immediately after the lobby can play again (since they didn't actually get to play).
Thanks to those who requested the qualification. I'm sorry that the game didn't proceed; although I actually granted 4 qualifications, only 2 players showed up (the others may have been requests from players not on this forum). I will write a new qual so that those who just passed through the lobby can try again. I'll make another attempt at this tomorrow. If you noticed any issues (e.g. couldn't enter the lobby), feel free to post here or let me know. Thank you!
I'd recommend reading through this thread, it'll likely save you a bit of time/hassle/trial&error: https://forum.turkerview.com/threads/launching-multiplayer-games-poor-click-through.2419/
I'm a bit unclear about the phrasing. Will you remove the "New Taker" qual from the 4 that got the "ForumQual" today, or will you have a different disqualifying qual for tomorrow's HIT? (i.e. can I try again tomorrow?)
I'm going to post another thread with the the details in a few minutes. It will contain the password to enter.
