So I posted this earlier: Spoiler So I've noticed that our gorgeous secret laboratory thread is SUPER long. More than a super long thread, it's a super source of data for the secret lab. Like, way better than any other data out there. I want to compile statistics for what the lab's results are. So what I'm looking for is a user (or users) who would be willing to go through the thread (yea, I know it's HUGE) and convert stuff to an excel spreadsheet which shows the frequency of everything lab result. It's a big task. So I'd be willing to give either: -Content award and 50 forum cash -150 forum cash To any users willing to do it. Hopefully I can get more than one person doing it, so that we can make sure the data are correct. Let me know your thoughts. And PM me if you're up for it. Hally. Now I'm thinking it's a bad idea. So scratch that. What I'm looking for now is as many users as possible who have access to the secret laboratory. I'm going to ask you to, over the course of a month (or however long we decide we need data for), track the changes as you zap your pets. You don't have to zap the same pet. You do, however, need to give me your Neopets account username. Sure, it's risky, I could be evil TNT Oh wait, if I was, the site would have been shut down ages ago. Hrrm. You'll receive 20 cash for the month that you do it. Not bad if you ask me, it's equal to like, 540k or something (if you figure 20 cash = $2.00 = 400k np). The lab itself only costs 800 to access And possibly a forum award (undecided).
I think I could do this. But not today.. probably Friday, after my exam. So we have: - Gender change - Color change - Species change Stats: - Strength - Defence - Movement - Hitpoints - Level (Also, does bringing back to level 1 count as apart or..?) Do you want it more specific so exactly which color and which species and how much + or - stats? Like for example: Mynci (1.58%) Blumaroo (1.2%) +2 Strength (2.5%) +3 Strength (1.8%) Just made up those numbers btw, just as example
Yes yes yes. That's exactly what I'm looking for. BUT. I'm not sure if it's a great idea. I'm sure people fabricate results just to get cash points some days. I'm thinking it's a better idea to do something else. Let me edit my first post
We could check with multiple people doing it Also, I don't really care about the cash :arf: But the content award would be nice
I'd do it for free. Because I have a lot of time on hand. But I can't use spreadsheets for anything lol. Sad but true. Either way, i'd do it for free though, although I guess it should be saved for people who do need the award and cash.
If I knew how I would totally be up for it but sadly I don't know. Though I do think its an amazing idea!
How about YOU drop ME a pm (with your neo username) Just so I can compile a list in my inbox and then send out a mail to you guys with details.
Hmm, you think the username has influence on it or it's the account age? Anyways, so in this format: Date - Change by lab Jun 24 - +3 Hit points Jun 25 - -2 Strength Something like that? And we send it to you after a month (the results)? But.. so instead of using information across 2 years we'll just use 1 month to collect data..
Lose Strength 5.1% Lose Levels 5.5% Lose Movement 4.9% Lose Defense 4.9% Back to Level 1 7.4% Gain Levels 5% Gain Movement 10.6% Gain Defense 6.1% Gain Hit Points 14.2% Gain Strength 9.2% Color Change 9% Species Change 5.4% Gender Change 7.6% No Change At All 5.1%
Lol, I thought he made that up until you started about sites It's from http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=labray :lol: But it's not THAT specific.. I mean, how much gained movement? Or which species is the 'most popular' one? Edit: this doesn't apply, right? Just in case I'm wrong..
Yes, data for lab already exists. My own objective in this is to use the data we collect to prove if the data on other sites is accurate or not, by performing statistical tests on it (oh joy, i get to use stats again!)
I actually loved stats. I did AP stats last year in grade 12, got a 5. Easiest AP exam i've ever taken. The other ones sketched me out :S
I absolutely hated the subject material. It was stinkin' tedious. But yeah that AP was pretty easy (not as easy as US govt though ). I think I skipped the last free response since I was pretty sure I already had a 5 by that point. :maha:
