That reminds me. If you guys are ever bored, I have a sure fix. Here's what you do:
1) Purchase a guild - Not too difficult, you can typically get a failing basic one for around 16K...
2) Clear the guild out - If you change what the guild is, any lingering active members will get pissy. Also, moderators from the "old guild" tend to be a little power-trippy...
3) Give the guild an amibiguous purpose - Yeah, really strange. Try to make it
sound like they're there for something, but don't
actually give them a purpose for the guild's existence or their membership.
4) Name the guild - Very basic. Follow the same description as 3.
5) Populate the guild - This is prefferably a random process, just go into the forums and grab random user names and invite them.
6) Observe/Toy with - This is the fun part. Now that you have a reasonable number of subjects, you get to do whatever you wish with them. Just continually leave them in the dark. Watch how they interact with each, how they try to figure why they are there. Change things, if they are getting comfortable with something, change whatever it is. Have they figured out that everyone loves a particular anime? Ok, search out users that hate it and recruit them, see how it throws them for a loop!
Some good case studies:
