Hello everyone!
After a lot of cramming and frustration I passed in my paper on you guys yesterday! And, according to my promise, I'm going to post it here for you. <3 Now that I'm reading it over again I can see a few problems but overall I'm pretty happy with it. The conclusion needs some work, but I'm mostly hopeful that you guys are happy with it. I imagine this will be mostly a reiteration of stuff that most of you already know, but I hope I've painted a fair picture. Also, I'm sorry for the jargon.
There are a lot of disadvantages to the way I've done this, too. Virtual Ethnographies are a new sort of thing and there isn't really an agreed-upon way to undergo them. Also, ethnographies are supposed to be written after "at least 18 months" of participation with the researched group, so I'm afraid I might not have the appropriate level of familiarity with you to act as a representative.
Generally they say that "if a researcher is red and the subject is blue the outcome will be purple." So I hope I didn't incriminate myself too much in writing this.
So anyway... Download it here!
I also have other materials I can upload if you're interested and with the permission of the subject, such as:
-Interview Transcriptions with John, Terry, Adam and Randy
-My Research Journal with dirt on EVERYONE. <3
-A record of guild age statistics
So... let me know what you think! I will begin cowering in terror!
