Pros
Approved and bonus paid almost immediately.Although there is some waiting, it is reasonable. Players are kicked from the game if they are inactive, which keeps things moving relatively briskly.
Even when they result in a lower bonus for me, I generally find interactive HITs engaging and interesting.
Cons
Bonus partially depends on other players.Y'all need to learn proper game theory and play accordingly; this was a game in which cooperative play would have been very advantageous but my group mostly played in a way which disadvantaged everyone overall.
Bonus not revealed at end of study, though it was paid out quickly.

Pros
Miraculously the game actually completed this time. It was approved and the bonus paid out instantly.Cons
This is basically set up to fail and already has twice due to lack of quals and the short timer (30 minutes) doesn't help either. I couldn't even submit at the end until everyone else finished completing their demographics. The compensation HITs pay higher than completing the full study, so don't expect much from the bonus structure.Lizj87 Average Pace

Pros
Mildly fun.Cons
This is the second time I've taken this exact experiment (it didn't disqualify me in the first seconds when checking eligibility so I took that as a green light to do it.) Previously I got almost the full bonus because the team I was in was very fair and balanced in their responses. This time I didn't get any bonus because everyone in the team was 'me me me' so everybody earned less. Sometimes it's frustrating that bonuses rely on other people in this way.
