Survey... Is that gonna turn people away?

Hey guys, I'm just running a survey of Stargate Wars players as part of my ludology assessments. This is just first year uni stuff, so nothing too complicated, but I'm examining gender status and interaction within games. I'm surveying 200 players of 5 different games (1,000 total). I'd just be interested to see how many of you guys would be interested in helping me out? Going through people on-by-one on MSN is slow :roll:

Anyway, the full survey can be seen and completed at:

http://www.gol-sgw.com/pungemo/survey_sgw.pdf

(note to send the form requires your own email :roll: stupid adobe :roll:

If there are questions you don't feel comfortable answering, that's no problem. If you don't want your answers seen publicly you can also PM them to me, or email me at mailto:pungemo@gmail.com. No names or identifying information are recorded. For those who who don't have Adobe Reader/Acrobat, I'll post the questions here too, but they're easier to understand in the pdf.

Maybe it would be best if I created it so the form worked and it could just email me the answers? Ok as it is you need to respond by writing the response yourself... will update so that you can enter yes or no (radio buttuns are annoying to do :roll:

WILL BE UPDATED SHORTLY SO FORM WILL SEND
