my consent form
Like it says this is a draft of my consent form, I've purposely left the numbers and e-mail addressses blank...
Before we begin I have a few things to go over with you,
First things first the consent form
The purpose of this project is to understand how Hamidon raiding is part of the cultural landscape of Virtue. In order to get the information I want I am participating in the raids as well as observing them but I'm also interviewing raiders and looking at what is said about Hamidon on the official game forums. In essence I believe that what people say about Hami raiding can tell me a great deal about the social aspect of Hamidon raiding.
I'm conducting my research for the purpose of furthering scientific knowledge so there are no projected benefits of my work. There are no risks to participating in this project but I will be protecting your identity and for the purposes of this project you will be be both anonymous ( I won't know your real life identity) and confidential ( I will try to make it so that nobody can identify you from reading my study).
As a participant you can choose to withdraw from the project at anytime during the research and writing of the proposal. I will also try to show you what I write before I finish the final draft of my thesis. I may or may not publish my thesis at some point in the future so I am worning you of that possibility. I will definitely be posting aa version of my thesis on my project blog.
Here is the link in case you are curious http://taonta.livejournal.com/
This is to state that I agree to participate in a program of research being conducted by Charles Grey of the Sociology and Anthropology department of Concordia University e-mail address xyz

If at any time you have questions about your rights as a research participant, please contact the Research Ethics and Compliance Advisor, Concordia University, Dr. Brigitte Des Rosiers, at (xyz or by email at xyz
Second thing
Since I will be using pseudonyms I want to give you the opportunity to choose your own pseudonym
um... so whatever pseudonym you want you can use I guess (within reason)
Once you've consented and picked a pseudonym I guess I will send you the questions on and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.
thanks for participating =D
