Hi there,
Interested in playing Tekkit for Science? As part of the work towards a PhD, I've developed a game using Tekkit Classic to study how humans explore environments. I'd written about my experience making it a while back (http://vaisaghvt.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/making-a-game-to-study-how-humans-explore/) . I've finally got the funds to host it online and I'm looking for some volunteers to play it.
If you're interested, please go to http://www.vaisaghvt.com/minecraft-experiment/ and sign up. More details required to play are there at that link. Once you sign up, you'll get the IP address for the server. This is a white listed server with just your username and it will be shut down once you are done. If you're fast enough (or early enough) in completing the game you'll be on the leaderboard here: http://www.vaisaghvt.com/minecraft-experiment/leaderboard/ (No, you don't get anything other than bragging rights and being part of an interesting experiment). In general, it takes up to 30 minutes to finish the game.
In case you run into any trouble in any part of the process of signing up and playing or any of the instructions are not clear, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks!
Vaisagh
