Research Results


I am doing some data collection today, and I think this project could possibly use the data when I’m done. I just did part one of twelve. This is how it works:

Test 1: Throughout the day, I will stand in the middle of some well-known rooms wearing all my rarest clothes and dancing while screaming “I AM FAMOUS AND RARE!!!!!”.Then I record the number of buddy requests. Then after five minutes doing that I will log off, log back on to a non-member account, and, wearing or saying nothing, dance in the same place as I did before. I will then compare the amount of non-member buddy requests to the amount of requests I got as a snooty member(meaning this particular member was snooty, not all members are snooty). I will do this 6 different times spread evenly throughout the day at different servers, countries, and rooms.

This is the non-member discrimination test.

These are the results of test 1.A.:
Time(in PST):3:02 AM(6:02 A.M. U.S. eastern, 10:02 A.M. GMT)
Country: America
Server: Mammoth
Room: The Dock (in the middle)
member requests: 14
non-member requests: 0

You can already tell the drastic difference between member and non-member. This particular test was taken extremely early in the morning, especially for the country I was in, so there is
little telling what it will be like later in the day. I could get up to 20 buddy requests as a member, in my estimation, and might still get little to none as a non-member.

Test 1.B.:
Time (in PST):5:30 A.M.(8:30 A.M. U.S. eastern, 12:30 A.M. GMT)
Country: United Kingdom
Server: Deep Freeze
Room: Plaza
Member request rate: 11 requests
Non-member request rate: 2 requests

This test showed a difference of 9 requests. That is sad.

Test 2: I will record the number of negative comments found over a span of 5 minutes in the selected area. This test will be done 6 evenly spread times throughout the following 12 hours.

This is the bullying test.

Here are the results for test 2.A.:
Time(in PST):4:00 A.M.(7:00 A.M. U.S. eastern, :00 A.M. GMT)
Country: Canada
Server: North Pole
Room: Town
Negative comments: 3

I saw this girl during this test saying “Any member guys?”. I walked up, disguised as a non-member and said” I’m not a member but I am a guy looking for someone special (I actually wasn’t though; I just wanted to see her reaction).
She said “Sh ut up lo ser” and ran away. I proceeded to chase her around the island frantically while she put on mean faces. I counted that as two negative comments, including the “Sh ut up lo ser” and the mean faces like this one this one and this one .

Here are the results for test 2.B.:
Time (in PST):6:00 A.M.(9:00 A.M. U.S. eastern, 1:00 P.M. GMT)
Country: Australia
Server: South Pole
Room: Ski Village
Negative comments: 0!

No negative comments were recorded!

I hope you can use the data. I will update this post throughout the day.
