Clash and the Placebo Effect (Testers Needed!)

Hey guys, it's Geronimosemiro and I'm back with another fun project! ;)

First of all, everyone needs to know what the Placebo Effect is, so please click this link:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo

The idea is to test if the Placebo effect is actually true, but with Clash of Clans. I will be accepting 8 enthusiastic volunteers, splitting them into two teams, with each team having 4 people of course.

Team A: Before they raid, they will say to themselves; "I will get good loot and have success" 10 times. They will do this for one day, and after that day is over they will post the results of the raid on this thread. Remember to farm for LOOT, not trophies.

Team B: Before they raid. they will say to themselves; 'I will get sucky loot and will fail miserably" 10 times. The rest is the same as Team A.

Here is the list of testers. Remember to apply fast to get on the team you want.

Team A:
- Willeumm
- Phoenix64
- KingBarymeymey
-

Team B:
-
- Pole
- Poizan
-

Disclaimer: I am NOT responsible for the results of this test.

Well basically this is it, Geronimosemiro, signing off! :D

Great idea and I would join but I am going to get pretty bad loot because I am going to be town hall 9 in 12 hours so I will have the town hall 9 loot penalty but town hall 8 troops.

The amount of loot you get really depends on whether you are lucky or not...

Placebo effect only works if you believe in it

I think you are misunderstanding the placebo effect. The placebo effect is less the power of positive thinking and more the power of insinuated belief you are being enabled (for instance, sugar pills being taken with the belief that they contain medical ingredients intended to relieve a headache).

It would still be a cool study. Good luck finding testers.

There is the insinuated belief that saying some words before a raid will get you good or bad results.
