I thought this was definitely a helpful sight for newbies to learn some of the ropes for gaming. Did you notice that there were specific types of questions that kept repeating or did you see that the newbies gleaned information from other posts and asked their questions based on what they had read? More like a conversation rather than a question/answer format? <br /><br />Along those lines, how did you perceive the overall tone of those who responded to the newbie questions? Did the elite players have a mentoring role or were they just answering questions to make them "go away" in a sense? One other thing, did you participate in the discussions at all (either the questions from the newbies or the answers from the elite players)? If so, did that experience give you any insight into how the overall data piece that you chose for this analysis was created and how it works?<br /><br />Nice work, let the games begin...Arwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06047135939622837137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733000975958473041.post-55450207216879361162013-10-18T11:48:40.168-07:002013-10-18T11:48:40.168-07:00Hi Ken.

The page also looks like its a good place for players to start developing their online identity. Perhaps you could elaborate more on that. I believe that for your project you're focusing on competitive game strategy? You've already noted the amount of naivete on the board, and the fact that players can post without fear on harassment. Does that affect the gaming strategies? Maybe you could observe certain players, if there's any that post regularly, and see if patterns start to emerge. Good luck!
