Ns Research Study

<div class="IPBDescription">My disclaimer to clarifiy things.</div> This is a short disclaimer regarding my unoffical past and future "NS studies" and my responses to the many people who both liked and disagreed with them.

If you people read the first post I wrote a couple weeks ago I stated that.
1. These studies are not done in just any random public servers.
2. I state that the information was concluded through my own observations.
3. I never said that my conclusions should be taken as fact (because they are MY observations)
4. I stated that the information was the results of my own study and if you choose not to belive it then don't.
I dont waste my time writing nonsence as I have better things to do.
5. I am referring to general population groups. I never stated ever that EVERY PLAYER that is young is a horrible player. I have played with many young and talented players before.
6. Why didnt I prove the people's ages? Well how am I supposed to do that in an internet post? I guess I could ask for everyones phone number and other personal information and then post it on the world wide web for everyone to see, but I'm not that type of person. People do not want their personal information given out. Simple as that. When I did this little project, call me stupid or presumptuous but I think I can tell the difference between a 13 year old and a 20 year old over voice chat.
7. The information presented here is to try to shed light on a subject that has not ever before been studied in anyway. Yes you could use the word "Study" loosely here but I dare say what I have done is a bit more refined and organized than anything else out there so far. It took me a long time to organize private closed servers and to find and screen the proper people. People can talk all they want about anything but I tried to find out for myself so I have SOMETHING to compare too and Im sharing it as a general discussion topic.

I posted the last full paper at the request of several high ranking NS forum admins and Server admins. Many People including Flayra himself find this interestinig so I will continue with part 2 soon.

And by the way I made a typo, Im not perfect. Its Structural "Determinism" that is a word. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
As a reminder part 2 and 3 will focus on what i call the psychology of the Rambo Epidemic and A look at how much does alien individualism affect their playing style and game outcomes.
Thank you for all the positive feedback so many of you have given, and no I dont hate the people who do not like my work. I respect your opinions. This post was just to clarify and answer several questions about my work.

    Every paper such as this has its critics. Don't let it get you down. I personally loved it. As long as there are people that like what your doing why should you let those that dont get you down. I felt you represented that in an extremely well thought out manner. You showed your results, setup, and range of people. The experiment is replicable from this information. It impressed me thoroughly. I look forward to other such papers you feel to write.

    just read that study, nice one! Onos attack was absolutely priceless, especially as i reacted something like that on first seeing an onos (but not quite as hysterical...<!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    Lol i never got that "shock" because i read the "book" before playing (i always do it helps SO much) so i knew what an Uno was.

    I asked this before but i never found the old post, how did the Marine player do? I'd like to know if he did better then the Amy. If you ever need more military players let me know.

    BTW it's "coup d'etat" not "coup de tat".
