Pros
There was a well-paid qual HIT for this a day prior $1.25 for maybe 5 mins)Requester emailed reminder when this HIT was posted
With the bonus, the hourly turns out to be fair
After the bonus, it's worth it...especially early evening when I wasn't doing anything else anyway (probably would not do this during busy turk times, though)
Bonus paid roughly 30 minutes after submission
Cons
The projected one hour is pretty spot on. Pages are timed and you're "waiting" for others in the group, even if you finish firstTEDIOUS- pages are timed for 1 minute each; you have to respond in that amount of time or you lose that round. Miss too many responses and no bonus at all
Requires 100% attention. If you so much as tap another tab on your screen or look at another window (in my case, a word doc that I had open), you get a warning about staying on the page.
Thank you for sharing so much helpful information about this pair of HITs. Just wanted to clarify that you do get your performance bonus, and... your waiting room bonus, even if something happens and you end up missing the time limits on a few pages. It's just the $4.00 "active participation" bonus that you miss out on if too many pages are left without a response. I know it sucks that the $4.00 is withheld for "active participation" but I've tried a lot of different ways to keep everyone moving through the game at a good pace, and this was one of the most effective. I really just don't want people getting stuck waiting forever for others to catch up, which is also why we have the strict time limits.

Pros
I was shown 18 rounds of changes to an analyst's stock portfolio and asked to predict the 9th change for each round. The entire task took place within the iframe and was easy and fun. Great hourly rate.Cons
There is a one page transcription task before the predictions. A lot of return reviews complained of a broken transcription task but I had no issues with it. It is possible the requester either fixed the issue or workers were possibly transcribing the first letter as a capital letter or adding extra spaces, but I could be wrong.Vincent P Proficient Worker

Pros
Decent pay with the bonusCons
EDIT: Okay, maybe I was a little ornery when I wrote up the cons. It's a good HIT and now I realize this is probably one of the best communicating requesters I've seen on the platform. Don't let me deter you from accepting work from this requester.Thanks for sticking with it through the instructions, Vincent! I know these are tough. We've got to match up the information we give you to... a pretty strict abstract mathematical model of the game in order to test the hypothesis we have. I tried a few different versions of the instructions, and the current version seems to get people up to speed the best of what I've tried so far (based on the pass rate for the Comprehension Check). BUT - there is definitely room for improvement. If you have suggestions for improving the instructions, I would LOVE to get your feedback.
