I know, just saying you ain't really going to sound 'objective' when you are defending the person in question that's also displayed in your signature.

I for once, will proudly carry Garrus + Tali, but fear of being put in the obsessed groups prevents me from doing song.

I'd put in a Tali one if I didn't think it would crowd my signature. I just went for the inclusive 'ME2 for ME3' one, since I also like Miranda, Jack, Mordin... etc.

Some of the Tali fans are, uh... intense? But I don't really care, their opinions are secondary to my enjoyment of the character.

@XX55XX: Hey, the trolling served some purpose.. It kept the survey on the front page for people to see. ;D

I have a friend that is an accounting major... but I don't know if she'd have the time to look at the info.


Accounting, from my impressions at my university's business school, is more about one's ability to categorize and arrange stuff as well as interpreting the GAAP...

I might major in accounting, but I don't have to choose a concentration until my junior year here. I am a freshman, currently.

Deltaboy is not some guy getting his Master's. He once claimed somewhere in this forum that was majoring in finance. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any finance major with as poor a grasp of statistics that he has. He never even uses terms like standard deviation or coefficient of variation in his posts when talking about the survey and its results... He's just another kid, as we can discern from his very username.

Anyways, I think I will release the statistics on this survey next week in a comprehensive report... Anyone with more knowledge of statistics than I do (I have only taken AP Statistics in high school) is welcome to publish their own interpretations of the data. I will shut down the survey by tomorrow.


In all seriousness, I am actually a Finance Major finishing my Masters (all jokes aside). It's one thing to attack me from a gaming fans point of view, but I have no reason to lie about my schooling. Just because I don;t use the terms you deem sufficient for a survey, doesn't mean I don't have a finance degree. To me this wasn't that important to put that much time consumption into it. Actually in finance we analyze more financial data, which has almost nothing to do with surveys, but instead financial statements, trend analysis for which we use horizontal and vvertical analytics, also cash flow statement analysis, balance sheet, stockholders equity and things like that, so if you are seriously gonna make an assumption like the one you made, please try to make sure you are right based on more solid evidence than you used. It seems like your just into personal attacks rather than making a factual point.

Thanks for your time, and I leave in peace, no need to get your weapons back out. at ease soldiers.

Keep up the funny post though, I've not stopped laughing since I first left....

Very well, then. I think I understand your motives. Don't worry, we all love to troll every now and then.

If you really majored in finance, I'd like to talk to you. I am thinking about majoring in finance myself.

You know with statistics it is something you have to keep up with. I have a degree in economics and have studied econometrics and advanced econometrics but it has been almost a year since I did any data analysis or even talked about the topic so my mind has gone to rot.

I'll gladly answer any inquiry you might have.

I really don't take anything we said in this thread personally, it was all in good fun from my point of view. So no hard feelings here.

Yeah, that is true, I suppose. Before I did this survey, I had to consult an old statistics book, even though I took AP Statistics in high school and did reasonably well in it.

Honestly, I am tired of designing surveys. This might be the last one in a while.

There will be more survey hooplah when ME3 comes out. And even more if BioWare wants to create some more ME spinoffs.

Looking at the current data... did two people really think Ashley was both the best *and* the worst character? How does that work?

Unfortunately, Google's implementation of logic branching in their forms isn't exactly the best. If you are trying to analyze the data, you should program a macro in Excel that might allow you to exclude that data.

Excel will be used to a degree, yes, but the bulk of everything will be done in SPSS.

Poll will be shut down later this afternoon, as soon as I get home from work.
