Hello all. I'm taking Statistics, and I'm designing a study based on the last game of Warhammer 40,000 played by various populations. I'm going to be posting this on multiple forums, so if you post on multiple forums, please post to this thread only once.
In the last game you played, what army did you last use?
What mission type was it? 1. Seize Ground 2. Conquer and Control 3. Annihilation
What Deployment Type was it? 1. Pitched Battle 2. Spearhead 3. Dawn of War
What was the outcome of the game (Win/Loss/Draw)?
How many years have you been playing the army? (Round to the nearest quarter year)
How many years have you been playing Warhammer 40,000? (Round to the nearest quarter year)
Thank you in advance for helping me out!

THE HORUS HERESY: Emprah: Hours, go reconquer the galaxy so there can be a new golden age. Horus: But I should be Emprah, bawwwwww! Emprah: Magnus, stop it with the sorcery. Magnus: But I know what's best, bawwwwww! Emprah: Horus, tell Russ to bring Magnus to me because I said so. Horus: Emprah wants you to kill Magnus because he said so. Russ: Fine. Emprah's always right. Plus Ole Red has already been denounced as a traitor and I never liked him anyway. Russ: You're about to die, cyclops! Magnus: O noes! Tzeentch, I choose you! Bawwwww! Russ: Ah well. Now to go kill Horus. Russ: Rowboat, how have you not been doing anything? Guilliman: . . . I've been writing a book. Russ: Sigh. Let's go. Guilliman: And I fought the Word Bearers! Horus: Oh shi--Spess Puppies a'comin? Abbadon: And the Ultramarines, sir. Horus: Who? Anyway, this looks bad. *enter Sanguinis* What are you doing here? Come to join me? Sanguinius: *throws self on Horus's power claws* Alas, I am undone! When you play Castlevania, remember me! *enter Emprah* Emprah: Horus! So my favorite son killed my favorite daughter! Horus: What about the Lion? Emprah: Never liked her. Horus: No one does. Now prepare to die! *mortally wounds Emprah*Emprah: Au contraire, you dick. *kills Horus* Dorn: Okay, now I just plug this into this and . . . okay, it works! Emprah? Hellooooo? Jonson: I did nothing! Guilliman: I did more nothing that you! Jonson: Nuh-uh. I was the most worthless! Guilliman: Have you read my book? Dorn: No one likes that book. Khan: C'mon guys. It's not that bad. Dorn: I guess not. Russ: You all suck. Ima go bring the Emprah back to life.

Good luck with your class. I really didn't like Statistics until I took Statistical Quality Control and got to play with Minitab. I then appreciated it a lot more.
