This test requires that one build a structure called a "Pulse of the People", at which you design a survey. There are two phases to the game: the survey mode, then the actual game. During the survey phase, people give answers to the survey question and receive a Pulse of the People Token as reward. Once the survey phase is complete, the designer examines the responses, consolidates the answers and opens the game phase. Playing the game costs one Pulse Token and people have to attempt to guess the most popular answer to each question (getting more points for more popular answers).
 
  
−
Once someone has played through the game phase, they can judge the Pulse as with other Thought Tests. Once the minimum number of judges is reached (7?), the Pulse will be eligible for passing. Passing occurs once a week, with the highest scoring Pulse passing.

−
== How It Works ==
+
Once someone has played through the game phase, they can judge the Pulse as with other Thought Tests.
−
The designer first enters 7 questions, then reviews and opens the survey. Teppy stated that a good example of a question would be "What is the hardest mushroom to eat fresh from the earth?" whereas a bad question would be "How many points does one start tug with?" He means that questions where an answer that can be simply looked up on the wiki are less interesting than ones that involves some knowledge of the world or an opinion of the player. In other words, questions that don't have definitive, factual answers.
 
−
 
 
−
The questions will appear in a random order to every player, keep that in mind when designing your survey. Also, the game box does not display questions longer than the length of the input box, and is not likely to. Teppy said it would take several days to code, and he doesn't want people to use long questions anyway. Keep your questions short.
 
−
 
 
−
At least 49 people must then fill out the survey before the game becomes playable. The designer is able to link answers that refer to the same thing e.g. "DP" and "demi pharaoh" and "demi-pharaoh", would be linked so that the survey records 3 answers for "demi pharaoh", or whichever version the designer chooses. These are known as synonyms, which can be matched during the game. The designer can also delete questions which are not 'going well' and add new ones. In order to open the game, all active questions must have 49 answers.
 
−
 
 
−
The player doesn't judge when answering the survey, but does get a "Pulse of the People Token," which is used to play other Pulses of the People later. The tokens are portable items and you can use any token to play any pulse.
 
  
 +
== How to Play a Pulse ==
 
The game itself will be a bit like "Family Fortunes" (UK), or "Family Feud" (US). The idea is to try and guess the most popular answers to each question. The more popular the answer, the more points you get. After a certain number of wrong guesses, you go onto the next question.

A survey consists of a set of "master response" each containing a set of "synonyms". The master response is the name for a given response, and the synonyms are the words that a player can type in to select that response. Consider the following example "review synonyms" report:
+
<!-- (CirGr) symbol for a Pulse in Play mode -->
−
<pre>
 
−
Synonyms report for What are you wearing?:
 
  
−
Master Response: hat(28)
+
<!-- (CirBl) symbol for a Pulse that has passed. -->
−
  hat
 
−
Master Response: haat(1)
 
−
  haat
 
−
Master Response: kilt(10)
 
−
  kilt
 
−
Master Response: skirt(10)
 
−
  skirt
 
−
Master response: sheep(1)
 
−
  sheep
 
−
</pre>
 
−
Whenever someone gives a new answer to a survey, a new master response is created and assigned a single synonym (itself).
 
  
−
'''Delete this whole survey''' will remove that survey question from the pulse entirely.
+
</googlemap>
  
−
'''Delete responses...''' may be used to remove a master response. For example, you could delete the "sheep" response from the above example, on the grounds that it's too random for anyone to guess.
+

−
'''Add synonym...''' will add a new synonym to a master response. For example, you could add "cap" as a synonym for the "hat" master response above, meaning that a player may type either "cap" or "hat" to select that response.

University Text

Create a series of opinion polls about Egypt, it's citizens, guilds, and lore. Players score points at your game by figuring out the most popular answers, and correct order.

All polls should be opinion based, and not questions with specific correct answers.

"What is the hardest mushroom to find?" is a good question, and "How many points do you start out with in Tug" is a bad question.

Overview

The Test of the Pulse of the People is the eighth test in the discipline of Thought.

Passing the Principle

Build a Pulse of the People and design both the SURVEY phase and the GAME phase, then open it up for judging. OR score 21+ on three recent winning Pulses.

Survey Phase

During the survey phase, people give answers to the survey question and receive a Pulse of the People Token as reward.

Once 49 people have completed the survey, the designer examines the responses, consolidates the answers and opens the game phase.

Game Phase

Playing the game costs one Pulse of the People Token. People have to guess the most popular answers to each question (getting more points for more popular answers).

Once someone has played through the game phase, they can judge the Pulse as with other Thought Tests.

How to Play a Pulse

The game itself will be a bit like "Family Fortunes" (UK), or "Family Feud" (US). The idea is to try and guess the most popular answers to each question. The more popular the answer, the more points you get. After a certain number of wrong guesses, you go onto the next question.

  • When you start to play it will give you each question in a new window.
  • At the very bottom of this window is a chat field where you enter the answer.
  • All the answers available are hidden behind multiple question marks listed in the window like this: ???? ?????
  • You keep answering the same question until you either reveal all of the correct answers OR you exceed the maximum amount of incorrect answers you can get per question (set by the puzzle designer.)
  • You have a time limit, not answering for a long period (30-60 seconds?) will record an incorrect answer.
  • Trying to chat to others often leads to mis-answering the Pulse questions so try to avoid chatting while interfacing with a Pulse.

Passing the Test

Each week, the highest-rated puzzle will pass.

See Test Pass History - http://julianatdeltona.com/atitd/PassedTests.aspx

Pulse of the People Locations

Please add your Pulse to the map and the table below. For clarity, please use a (RdS) symbol for a Pulse in Survey mode, a (GrP) symbol for a Pulse in Play mode, and a (BlP) symbol for a Pulse that has passed (best in the land).

Demonstrating the Principle

With these items in hand, the University will then ask you who visited the University exactly some number of days, hours and minutes ago. Get this question right, and you unlock Pulse of the People. Get it wrong, and you have to wait an hour before attempting to guess again.
