\begin{abstract}
We are the team behind Project Discovery - Exoplanets, a joint effort of
Wolf Prize Winner Michel Mayor's team at University of Geneva, CCP
Games, Massively Multiplayer Online Science (MMOS), and the University
of Reykjavik. We successfully integrated a huge set of light data
gathered from the CoRoT telescope into the massively multiplayer game
EVE Online in order to allow players to help identify possible
exoplanets through consensus. EVE players have made over 38.3 million
classifications of light data which are being sent back to University of
Geneva to be further verified, making the project remains one of the
largest and most participated in citizen science efforts, peaking at
over 88,000 per hour. This is the second version of Project Discovery,
the first of which was a collaboration of the Human Protein Atlas to
classify human proteins for scientific research. Joining today are Wayne
Gould, Astronomer with a Master's degree in Physics and Astrophysics who
has been working at the Geneva Observatory since January and is
responsible to prepare and upload all data used in the project Attila
Szantner, Founder and CEO of Massively Multiplayer Online Science
(http://mmos.ch/) Who founded the company in order to connect scientific
research and video games as a seamless gaming experience. Hjalti
Leifsson, Software Engineer from CCP Games, part of the team who is
involved in integrating the data into EVE Online We'd love to answer
questions about our respective areas of expertise, the search for
exoplanets, citizen science (leveraging human brain power to tackle data
where software falls short), developing a citizen science platform
within a video game, how to pick science tasks for citizen science, and
more. More information on Project Discovery: Exoplanets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12p-VhlFAG8 EDIT---WRAPPED UP Thanks to
all of you for your questions, it has been a great experience hearing
from the players side. Once again a big thanks to all of you who have
participated in the project and made the effort of preparing all this
data worth it. \textasciitilde{}Wayne Thank you all for the interesting
questions. It was my first Reddit AMA - was pretty intensive, and I
loved it. And thanks for the amazing contributions in Project Discovery.
\textasciitilde{}Attila Thanks to the r/science mods and everyone who
asked questions and has contributed to Project Discovery with
classifications! We're happy we can do this sort of thing FOR SCIENCE
\textasciitilde{}Hjalti and the CCP team.%
