Title: [09.23.2016] DC Experiment - Recruitment | PANDA Requester: CER Vanderbilt [A38N5LYPK46FY3] (Contact) (TO): [Pay: 4.43] [Fair: 4.83] [Comm: 4.63] [Fast: 4.78] Description: Participants are recruited for an experiment in coordination on networks. Experiment is very simple, will amount to playing a game with other participants, and will offer subjects an opportunity to earn as much as $16.50/hour, although earnings will vary depending on performance and extent of participation. The experiment will run in two phases: first, the recruitment and tutorial phase, which will take approximately 25 minutes and pay $2.00 (no games will be played in this phase), and second, the actual experiment, which will take approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes and pay between $8.10 and $24.30. This task requires basic English proficiency, which we will evaluate using a short proficiency test. Once you complete the tutorial you will also need to pass a short test assessing your understanding of the game and the experiment setup. Time: 2 hours HITs Available: 1 Reward: $2.00 Qualifications: Total approved HITs is greater than 100; Recruited for Adversarial DC Experiments has not been granted; HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 95;

This Panda probably won't work. But all new people should check this out. It is frustrating and annoying.

Good morning! Hope it's been a great day for all (ok, at least some) of you turk wise so far.

I just found out that five Uni students (four from the UK, including my oldest) will be crashing at my house tomorrow night on their way to Yosemite. Super exciting, but thanks, kid for not much notice, lol! I'm looking forward to seeing her (haven't seen her since July) and meeting three of her university friends.

Now to turk to earn the money to take them all to breakfast Saturday morning...I don't cook for seven on such short notice.
