Hi I'm running a university study on asset trading for which I'm looking for experienced traders. It will take approximately 60 minutes and everyone can earn at least 1000 lindens for participating. In addition you will earn all money from your trading activity during this 60 minutes.
If you are interested please contact me inworld (Athene Auer) or via email: [email]siemensmoderator@googlemail.com[/email].

The webpages with the instructions for logging into the asset market as well as the instructions for the experiment are here:

You DO realize that you are offering folks about $3.60 U.S. for an hour of their time? Perhaps you should provide an estimate of how much the average person would make from asset trading.

You only need to be able to understand English. You don't need any own money. This is not a scum.
I can't participate in your study now, I'm paralyzed by irony.

:rolleyes:

do you realise, that this is an university study. Games are a good way to study bwl (economical science), imho. And SL offers a good background, because you can offer to play with something that feels like real money. I participated in several Athene Auer experiments when I was a newbie, and L$1000 + the money you win in the game is much better than camping.

Think about L$1000 as one month rent for 512sqm and you should get the relation. Hey! I had 1008sqm for my first year. Each experiment was fun, and it was half a month rent.

*oups* Tracy Rubble, I just also see that the website sites are offline. I'll try to contact her.

ciao,Kephra

Our Website server had a problem (cooling was disabled). Hence the websites didn't show for a couple of hours. Sorry!
However, if you are interested we are still looking for participants
