11/15 - Beat the Devil Out of It Tuesday!

[Kerek]

it's starting to look like super smash brothers MTC edition. Peachy is gonna knock everyone off the map.

I still want my cereal mascots version of that game. Tony the Tiger fighting Toucan Sam on Captain Crunch's pirate ship stage...Snap, Crackle, and Pop instead of the Ice Climbers...

 

[K'Lee]

If I'm not mistaken this is to contact about the driving hit.
https://www.mturk.com/mturk/contact...echanical+Turk+HIT&requesterId=A32XN4TF9CXR6Y

I already sent a nice email that explained how the hit was freezing.

Can't believe I figured that out all on my own. I'm a big girl now.

 

[Kerek]

Does that EVER happen?

I made fresh coffee again so she'll wander in eventually. And as I mentioned before that's where the whiskey is.

 

[K'Lee]

I did.
but to be realistic, it's probably my own graphics processor,
and nothing on their end.
i dunno, i sent a message anyway, as I did get through a majority of the rounds
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Jerami]

Can you do that in 30 min?

First Bryce. Took about 45 including a PC meltdown. Not bad. I'm glad I did it because I learned something, made some money and know that I can do them in the future.

 

[K'Lee]

The Gro Block HIT sucks. The game bugged out a couple of times and I had to end up returning the HIT because there's only a 15 minute time limit.

You can email them and let them know (nicely) what happened. You never know, might give a make-up hit. Worth a shot. Usually if you are nice when emailing you will get a good response.

That's...ominous

I got my passport ready just in case

Yeah, as they said, if you're nice when you email, they'll respond like, "
Hi Jeremy,
I'm sorry to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to do our study. What I can do is set up a separate 'unpaid' HIT for you that is just entering a word; when you complete it, I can bonus you the payment for the previous study.

I will set this up later today or tomorrow. If you don't hear from me soon, please give me a nudge!
Warmly,
Brenda"

She likes me.

I figure if it is happening to most people and we all email then maybe they will fix the hit or give a make-up one. It's worth a shot

brenda's always asking for nudges!

 

[K'Lee]

Has anyone had luck with the ISSRC hit? I've caught it twice (probably a reason for that) and keep getting the "unusual high volume message". Wondering if anyone has actually been able to do it.

Just read an article about current events and came across this:

"If you have some “hostile” sexist attitudes, you might mistrust women’s motives and see gender relations as a zero-sum battle between male and female dominance. You might agree with statements like, “Many women get a kick out of teasing men by seeming sexually available and then refusing male advances,” or “Most women interpret innocent remarks or acts as being sexist.”

If you have some “benevolent” sexist attitudes, you might endorse positive — but still patronizing — stereotypes of women. You might agree with statements like, “Women should be cherished and protected by men,” or “Women, compared to men, tend to have a superior moral sensibility.”

Actually, the more articles I read the more I recognize "Hey! I took that study!" See, we are helping by bleeding under the tire marks of the MTruk. (Except when Ted Cruz steals our Facebook friend info like a mofo...)

I had no problems.
took me 20 minutes, but some people were saying it only took them four.
didn't make sense to me that the survey would be such varying times, unless there's two surveys
but the details in the HIT clearly say not to take it twice,
so I'm not going to try to catch another just to find out.

You should check back.
Soon.

Unless it's just unusually high volumes of you, checking back too soon.
