You are invited to participate in a survey that is being conducted as part of a graduate class focusing on virtual worlds. The goal of this study is to help us understand people’s perception of virtual worlds. You will be asked questions about your activities in Second Life as well as real life -- there are no right or wrong answers.

We appreciate your participation in our study. We are offering L$25 as a reward for participating, which you may elect to receive after completing the survey. You may also choose to receive the results of our study if you are interested.

Click the following link or copy the URL and paste it into your web browser to go directly to the survey:
http://CTLSilhouette.wsu.edu/surveys/ZS80441&X1=1

Send questions or comments to [email]mrmagic.oh@gmail.com[/email] or send an IM in-world to MrMagic Oh.

We thank you in advance for your participation. Feel free to pass this invitation on to others.

(You must be 18 years old or older to participate in this survey.)

Forget Lindal. I'll do it for 2,450 Lindens. I'll cut you a deal and do it twice for 4000 Lindens. I'll even give honest answers.

Done.

I wonder if I kinda mess up these surveys statistically, sometimes though. My SL is kinda 'different' from other people's in a lotta ways.

And no I didn't ask for the $L 25 at the end :P

Not only will I capitalize the words at the beginning of each sentence, but I will also include a noun, verb and at least two adjectives in each one. Adverbs are going to cost a bit extra, though, but I think you will admit that they are worth every Linden. I will also make a real attempt to stay on subject, although, as with most things in life, there are no guarantees.

No privacy notice is offered, so I wouldn't touch it with a 10m plywood box.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

For 500L, I will touch it with a 10m plywood box on your behalf. Please remit the funds in advance. If you would like a souveneir photo of this dramatic event, please include another 100L to cover the cost of processing the film.

With LindalAnswers(tm) you get not only complete sentences, including adverbs at no extra charge, you also get FREE commas, semicolons; and (parenthetical asides). I make no attempt to stay on subject; I find that free association of ideas leads to a much more interesting and informative end result.

And, if you book my Survey Service (tm) before midnight tonight, you will receive...absolutely free of charge!...three Bonus Answers to questions that you didn't even ask!

Forget all these amateurs. For L$50,000 I'll pretend to be 100 different people, give you all the answers that support your research and guarentee you a test result that will impress and persuade your professors and peers. Why leave your survey to chance? Get the data you need to keep your project alive.

For US$2,500 I'll write your paper for you based on whatever your research shows. Included in that is a complete revision of the results so that they prove whatever point you are trying to make.

Wow... I think LL did a bad thing when they stopped requiring people to get LL's approval before doing research in/on SL. I'm beginning to find these posts intrusive. Not to mention, isn't there a "Help Wanted" that these things can be posted in?

Good heavens, not another one.

Maybe there should be a Forum Cartel survey to send to all the teachers and lecturers at institutions doing these surveys, in order to research the important question of why they feel the need to survey us all the time.
