We will run an online multiplayer game as part of a MIT scientific project. The HIT require people to be online simultaneously. We will run the experiment x3 times in the coming days, with no repeat takers (participants are allowed to play the game only once). Wednesday 3rd of May: Qual HIT at 10:30am EDT; actual HIT at 11:30am EDT Wednesday 3rd of May: Qual HIT at 1pm EDT; actual HIT at 2pm EDT Friday 5th of May : Qual HIT at 1pm EDT; actual HIT at 2pm EDT Requester ID: AGEIRIHRRYV6P The Qualification HIT information: HIT title: (Qual HIT) Guess the correlation and get up to $10 Time: Will be posted 1 hour before the actual HIT [see dates/times above] Expected HIT length: 1 minute Qualification: "Guess the Correlation Score" qualification is NOT granted The actual HIT information: HIT title: [Play immediately] Guess the correlation and get up to $10 Time: 1 hour after the actual HIT [see dates/times above] 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 the beginning of the time window. Otherwise, it would delay the start of the game for the other participants
I cannot catch this hit no matter how fast I am- either can't catch the qual or once I have the qual can't catch the hit. I have been trying for a month or so now.
