have you ever participated in a sisi mass test?
No - I tried once and it didn't happen
what role do you play in eve? (smallcorp/bigcorp/alliance highsec/lowsec/0.0 resident)
Self run empire corp
do you regularly participate in big 0.0 fleet fights?
No
were any of these factors the reason you have been prevented in participating in a mass test on sisi?
-didn't believe the test would accomplish anything
No
-sisi patching was too hard, gave up
Patching sisi is very hit and miss, unless you keep very up to date with the versions more often than not it's often easier to copy your tq directory and do the tq to sisi patch
-generally didnt care
No
-wasn't aware of it
No
-scheduled at a bad time
Thursday at 20:00 is a bad time for a lot of UK players, it's 21:00 BST and if you start work fairly early then it is too late to start playing. I generally start work at 07:00 so I'm getting up at 05:00, bed time is 22:00 (yeah I know, but I needs my beauty sleep). Times should be rotated to try and get people from different time zones.
-previous tests were poorly conducted so i no longer participated(please specify)
Sort of - I can't remember the specific test event but I'd got myself geared up for it, assembled ships in fd, waited around for a while passed the start time, and all we got was it's going to be a bit late or something like that, left at t+30m as it was too late to start messing around then.
-other please specify
Normally bad timing or lack of current character on the test server, how long does it take to mirror the server? can't it be done nearer the test time?
would you participate in a sisi mass test if they gave you perks you would never get on TQ like max skillpoints, or supercaps?
Yes - although max skillpoints is a grey area, I've managed to log in once on one of these events and it was a farce, granted it was when tq was down for something big so everyone was trying to get on for the god skills.
Supercaps would maybe be interesting, but I fear that because they can't fly them on tq then you will get the idiots going silly with them.
One thing that has been suggested on the forums is now the skill point allocation system is running, allocate a goodly number of skill points to the characters on sisi so people can play around a bit more, or even bring their character up to date with the one on TQ, I've got a tq character that can now fly a dread, but I've got no idea if the same character can fly one on sisi.
would you participate in a sisi mass test if there was a TQ tournament going on that required it(specifically, the sort of player-run sort of events that don't involve creation of isk)?
No - wouldn't have any influence
would you participate in a sisi mass test if someone really famous and well liked commanded the fleet on sisi?
Ooh you mean like Ozzy Osbourne?  - No - wouldn't have any influence
if they used code injection on TQ in a fleet fight but only if both parties consented, and everyone knew in advance that there would be no reimbursement just like usual, would you ever consent to participating in the test(although this question is probably moot unless you're an FC, I'd also like to know if this idea ****es you off a lot or if you think it's a good idea)?
I've got no idea what you mean, if you mean that they 'play around' with the tq server in fleet fights etc, then No - there is probably a good chance that something bit would screw up
what sort of situations would be excluded from ever being tested if CCP refused to give reimbursement for deaths incurred during TQ code injection ****ups?
Don't really know what you mean by code injection
would you ever participate in any sort of sisi mass testing if there was no immediate and direct isk reward on TQ?
There isn't at the moment, do you mean there is a direct isk reward on tq? or am I having a blonde moment
