This kind of research brings up a lot of mixed feelings about surveys and what I learned in school, but it still interesting to see the results of it. I have done my part in contributing to something that would be useful for the future, hopefully. It is a great survey posing some thoughtful questions.

... Wait, I could make a hobby out of this, morphing Otto into other random pictures for no good reason. I could easily get more mileage out of that than the game proper. (Because I can't collect skill points for any new ships or weapons or anything amusing like that.)
I think... perhaps a blender next, or random anime character... :cool:

Hehe, tellarite, hmmm, I guess I'll have to call off my nefarious send junk emails to participants plan, RATS!
do you have any plans to get people who don't read these forums to participate maybe getting Cryptic to put your research link in the news page so it shows on the game launcher or something maybe? cos I'm not sure if filling it in is much point at the moment cos I know it won't be representative anyway

Hello,
Good points.
Yes, I do have planes to add the voices of those who are not on these forums, I will be doing interviews with STO players regardless of whether they have used these forums.
Will these questionnaires provide a true representative sample of the entire STO population, No, but then that is not the objective for the questionnaire portion of the research design.
Keke. As soon as pictures appear on someones screen, the cat is firmly and quite completely out of the bag. Between ad-blockers listing images, view-html-source, hitting Prt Scrn, and physically taking a picture of the computer screen...
I have bad news though, I couldn't find any pictures of blenders that I thought looked right, and I think I've lost interest anyway.
I am conducting research about how Star Trek Online players perceive their interactions within STO, at present and in the future. The first phase of this research is in the form of online surveys/questionnaires, with interviews to be conducted in the future.
I have the permission of CBS, and Cryptic Studios to conduct this research; however, I do not work for either CBS or Cryptic Studios, in any capacity.
The overall plan is to publish the results of this research in various forms, such as academic papers, as well as potentially in book form.
The results will also eventually be shared with CBS and Cryptic, however, any and all material that potentially identifies the identity of a research participant will be removed prior to any and all forms of dissemination.
All participants must be 18 years or older.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me rotto@po-box.esu.edu or the East Stroudsburg University Institutional Review Board Administrator, Dr. Shala Davis sdavis@po-box.esu.edu or 570 422 (three, three, three, six)

They disabled right-click on their college website, and I took it as a challenge. So I made this.

Okay,
This makes me wish the non copy feature of our website worked even better! :rolleyes:
Hehe, you have too much time on your hands.
Luck and fun,
Dr. Otto

I took the survey and left a ton of responses in the survey. I hope you actually read them.
Wait, I have to read them???
Hehe,
j/k....I actually take the responses very seriously, and I appreciate the fact that you and many others have taken time to respond.
Luck and fun,
Dr. Otto
