A good survey when carried out randomly should not need that much number of players. 100 players is a far-fetched amount for MD's population that are online. Both the answer and the problem of a survey lies with the margin of error. A low number of responses from players means a higher margin of error, and a high number of responses from players means a lower margin of error. Based on the population of MD that are online, which is usually between 250 to 300 players. Out of a pool of let's say 300, an acceptable amount to sample may be one tenth of the pool, which average around 30 players. After all, most surveyers only select a random amount of 1000 people out of a population of 100000 people. The margin of error is fairly acceptable for an amount of 30 sample from a pool of 300 players. But certainly unresponse sample may create a problem for the survey as well as stated by Kafuuka. But hopefully the time alloted (possibly a month the same time for MDNP) may compensate for this bias method. (Not done writing going to edit later on)

Is Indyra your name ingame?

The problem with letting only players who solved the quest rate the quest itself are categorized as voluntary bias and undercoverage, statistically speaking. Maybe what we need in MD is a statistician who does random survey among MD players. The survey info gathered may be provided to MDNP to be printed monthly. This may also attract more MDNP audiences as well. The way I figure it. Players are friendly enough to chit chat a few sentences. Encountering and inquiring them on a random bases at a random location within MD may provide a nearly unbias result. The followings are a possible outcome: 1) the player doesn't know the quest 2) the player knows and won the quest and give a rating 3) the player knows and lost the quest and not give a rating 4) the player knows only knows about the quest and give a rating Factors that may affect the rating: 1) player have won the quest and is inclined to give high rating because of favoritism 2) player have lost the quest and is incline to give low rating because of contempt 2) player know about the quest and gives a rating base on their opinion of a good or bad quest With a truly random survey, the average rating of the survey may give a somewhat "true" rating of the quests. And with the uses of a margin of error we may have up to 90 or 95 percent confidence that the true rating of the quest lies somewhere the interval of confidence found for the rating on the quest.

Hehehe Only I can see the creature clearly on my creature page. But this is very interesting.

One Mur can't do "mur" things at once I am ready to rate the quest kekekke

LOL KAKAKA This is awesome!

Just a reminder. Anyone still wanting to play Chess. Post here please. Am going to end the contest in some days. Last player that played was Shadowseeker. Thank you for reading

What do u mean by "friendly creature" is that the creature on the same team?

I'll stick by you buddy.

Okay thank you. Need to find some good time to write it first though.

Do get extra credits for writing more chosen articles? God I sound like a high school kid asking for extra credits right now hahaha [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img] Ah I forgot to ask. Can we send you the articles via the forum?

About to play Shadowseeker Server Time: Nov 06 22:50:59 Zebra Cove Room 48 [b]First Attempt[/b] First Round (DRAW) Redo first round. Attempt failed was epic. [b]Second Attempt [/b]First Round (DRAW again) Redo first round again. Attempt failed. Good games. 2 silver received updated.

I think it is one or the other. Having both will be really bad. You get drained really fast but gain not as much. And on the downside of losing "bullets" all principle will get depleted from profile until we have to sacrifice creatures. And so the more token you bought, the more pissed off you are going to be. Just stating my opinion.

Thank you Shadow.

Patience is virtue [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.gif[/img]

Different person has different perception of things. Your interpretation of my laugh is no more than a false accusation. I take the liberty to laugh, but everyone can bet themselves on this one that I did not laugh at Dayredeemer nor did I meant to offend anyone. I am actually admiring his serenity. He hasn't shown a bit of frustration upon his lost. Exactly what I would expect from a man of his virtue However just to be on the safe side, I apologize if any one is offended in any way. I meant no harm. I am sorry.

Happy Birthday (another post count)

Just a reminder. Chess Contest is still continue. If no one contact me via forum or PM that they want to play within 3 days, I have to stop this contest and start a different contest. Rewards will be given back their sponsors.

All dayredeemer's prin are very high hahah. He'll keep losing principle. Seems like principle are trying to equalize themselve among players. ooooooooooooooo.....
