-<h3>General Instructions</h3>
-<p>
-You appear on the screen as a yellow dot <img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-self.gif">, 
-and your other group members appear as blue dots <img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-other.gif">.
-You move by pressing the four arrow keys to the right of your keyboard.  You
-can move either up, down, left, or right.  You have to press a key for every
-move of your yellow dot.  In this experiment you can collect green diamond
-shaped tokens 
-<img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-token.gif"> and you will
-earn two cents for each collected token.  To collect a token, simply move your
-yellow dot over a green token and press the <b>space bar</b>.  If you move
-over a token without pressing the <b>space bar</> you will NOT collect that
-token.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The tokens that you collect have the potential to regenerate.  After you have
-collected a green token, a new token can once again appear on that empty cell.
-However, the rate at which new tokens will appear depends on the number of
-adjacent cells that still have tokens.  The more tokens in the 8 cells around
-an empty cell, the faster a new token will appear on that empty cell.  In
-other words, the presence of tokens will generate new tokens over time.  Thus
-the middle cell in Image 1 denoted with X will be regenerated at a faster rate
-than the middle cell in Image 2.  When all neighboring cells are empty, there
-is no renewal.

-<h3>Round 3 Instructions</h3>
-<p>
-Round 3 is another practice round.  This time you will be placed in a 3-D
-world where you can collect tokens by harvesting pillars and rings at the top
-of the pillars.
-</p>
-<p>
-The world consists of pillars which grow slowly over time. When a pillar
-becomes large enough a yellow component will appear at its top. You can collect
-this part from a pillar or you can collect the pillar itself. The older the pillar
-the more tokens you collect by harvesting it. A pillar which is one minute old
-leads to 5 tokens, while a pillar that is four minutes old gives you 25 tokens.
-After 4 minutes the pillar will not grow any further. If a pillar is harvested, it 
-will take some time before a new pillar appears. A pillar will be crowned with a yellow 
-component when it reaches an age of 5 minutes. You can collect this yellow component, 
-which generates 10 tokens per harvest. When you have collected the yellow part, a new part 
-will be added as illustrated in the figure below. The pillars can generate yellow parts indefinitely.
-</p>
-<table width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td align="center">
-<img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/abstract.jpg"></td>
-</tr>
-</table> 
-You will share the environment with three other participants. You will appear on
-the screen as an avatar represented as a ball.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Moving your avatar:</b> You can move your avatar by pressing the <b>W</b>,
-<b>A</b>, <b>S</b>, <b>D</b> keys or via the arrow keys. <b>W</b> or the
-<b>Up</b> arrow key will move your avatar forward while <b>S</b> or the
-<b>Down</b> arrow key will move it backward. <b>A</b> or the <b>Left</b> arrow
-key will rotate the avatar to its left while <b>D</b> or the <b>Right</b>
-arrow key will rotate it to its right.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Harvesting a purple pillar:</b> Harvesting a pillar is a two step process. 
-First you need to select the pillar you wish to harvest. You can do this by standing 
-next to the pillar and pressing the key <b>Q</b> key. You will see the selected pillar 
-changing its color to green. Then you can harvest the selected pillar by pressing the
-<b>E</b> key. You will see that the avatar bumps against the selected pillar. The
-bigger the pillar the more effort the avatar needs to make to harvest the pillar. When
-the pillar is harvested, you will see tokens added to your total at the top of the
-screen.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Collecting yellow components:</b> Collecting yellow component of a pillar is also a two step process. 
-First you need to select the pillar you wish collect component from. You can do
-this by standing next to the pillar and pressing the key <b>Q</b>. You will see
-the selected pillar changing its color to green. Then you can collect the yellow component at the top of the pillar 
-by pressing the key <b>X</b>. On the top of the screen you will see that
-tokens are added to your total.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Chatting with other players:</b> A chat box is present at the bottom of the
-screen. When another player is in the neighborhood, you can click on that
-avatar using the left mouse button to start a chat. You will see the character
-associated with the selected avatar (<i>A</i>, <i>B</i>, <i>C</i> or <i>D</i>)
-appearing in the chat box indicating that you can send messages to that
-player.
-</p>
-<hr>
-<h3>Practice Round Instructions</h3>
-<hr>
-<p>
-You will now have four minutes to practice with the experimental environment.
-You will share the environment with three other participants. Make sure you
-try out the chat option, the harvesting of a pillars and the collection of yellow components.

-You move by pressing the four arrow keys to the right of your keyboard.  You
-can move either up, down, left, or right.  You have to press a key for every
-move of your yellow dot.  In this experiment you can collect green diamond
-shaped tokens 
-<img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-token.gif"> and you will

-token.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The tokens that you collect have the potential to regenerate.  After you have
-collected a green token, a new token can once again appear on that empty cell.
-However, the rate at which new tokens will appear depends on the number of
-adjacent cells that still have tokens.  The more tokens in the 8 cells around
-an empty cell, the faster a new token will appear on that empty cell.  In
-other words, the presence of tokens will generate new tokens over time.  Thus
-the middle cell in Image 1 denoted with X will be regenerated at a faster rate
-than the middle cell in Image 2.  When all neighboring cells are empty, there
-is no renewal.

-<h3>Round 3 Instructions</h3>
-<p>
-Round 3 is another practice round where you will be able to collect tokens by
-harvesting trees and fruit in a 3D representation of a forest.
-</p>
-<p>
-The forest consists of trees which are growing slowly over time. When a tree
-is big enough it will generate fruit. You can collect fruit from a tree and
-you can cut down a tree. The older the tree the more tokens you collect by
-harvesting it. A tree which is one minute old leads to 5 tokens, while a tree
-that is four minutes old gives you 25 tokens. After 4 minutes the tree will
-not grow any further. If a tree is cut down, it takes some time before a new
-seedling generates a new start for a tree to grow. A tree will generate fruits
-at age of 5 minutes. You can collect fruits, which generates 10 tokens per
-harvest. When you have harvested fruit, new fruit will be added as illustrated
-in the figure below. The tree can generate fruit indefinitely.
-<table width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td align="center">
-<img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/trees.jpg"></td>
-</tr>
-</table> 
-You will share the forest with three other participants. You will appear on
-the screen as an avatar.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Moving your avatar:</b> You can move your avatar by pressing the <b>W</b>,
-<b>A</b>, <b>S</b>, <b>D</b> keys or via the arrow keys. <b>W</b> or the
-<b>Up</b> arrow key will move your avatar forward while <b>S</b> or the
-<b>Down</b> arrow key will move it backward. <b>A</b> or the <b>Left</b> arrow
-key will rotate the avatar to its left while <b>D</b> or the <b>Right</b>
-arrow key will rotate it to its right.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Cutting a tree:</b> Cutting a tree is a two step process.
-First you need to select the tree you wish to cut. You can do this by standing
-next to the tree and pressing the <b>Q</b> key. You will see the selected tree
-changing its color to blue. Then you can cut the selected tree by pressing the
-<b>E</b> key. You will see that the avatar moves its axe to cut the tree. The
-bigger the tree the more effort the avatar needs to make to cut the tree. When
-the tree is cut, you will see tokens added to your total at the top of the
-screen. 
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Collecting fruits:</b> Collecting fruits is also a two step process. 
-First you need to select the tree you wish collect fruits from. You can do
-this by standing next to the tree and pressing the key <b>Q</b>. You will see
-the selected tree changing its color to blue. Then you can collect the fruits
-by pressing the key <b>X</b>. You will see that the fruits are falling down,
-representing the fruit harvest. On the top of the screen you will see that
-tokens are added to your total.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Chatting with other players:</b> A chat box is present at the bottom of the
-screen. When another player is in the neighborhood, you can click on that
-avatar using the left mouse button to start a chat. You will see the character
-associated with the selected avatar (<i>A</i>, <i>B</i>, <i>C</i> or <i>D</i>)
-appearing in the chat box indicating that you can send messages to that
-player.
-</p>
-<hr>
-<h3>Practice Round Instructions</h3>
-<hr>
-<p>
-You will now have four minutes to practice with the experimental environment.
-You will share the environment with three other participants. Make sure you
-try out the chat option, the cutting of a tree and the collection of fruit.

-<h3>Round 1 Instructions</h3>
-<p>
-This is a practice round where you will be placed in a 3-D
-world and can collect tokens by harvesting pillars and rings at the top
-of the pillars.
-</p>
-<p>
-The world consists of pillars which grow slowly over time. When a pillar
-becomes large enough a yellow component will appear at its top. You can collect
-this part from a pillar or you can collect the pillar itself. The older the pillar
-the more tokens you collect by harvesting it. A pillar which is one minute old
-leads to 5 tokens, while a pillar that is four minutes old gives you 25 tokens.
-After 4 minutes the pillar will not grow any further. If a pillar is harvested, it 
-will take some time before a new pillar appears. A pillar will be crowned with a yellow 
-component when it reaches an age of 5 minutes. You can collect this yellow component, 
-which generates 10 tokens per harvest. When you have collected the yellow part, a new part 
-will be added as illustrated in the figure below. The pillars can generate yellow parts indefinitely.
-</p>
-<table width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td align="center">
-<img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/abstract.jpg"></td>
-</tr>
-</table> 
-You will share the environment with three other participants. You will appear on
-the screen as an avatar represented as a ball.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Moving your avatar:</b> You can move your avatar by pressing the <b>W</b>,
-<b>A</b>, <b>S</b>, <b>D</b> keys or via the arrow keys. <b>W</b> or the

-<b>Down</b> arrow key will move it backward. <b>A</b> or the <b>Left</b> arrow
-key will rotate the avatar to its left while <b>D</b> or the <b>Right</b>
-arrow key will rotate it to its right.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Harvesting a purple pillar:</b> Harvesting a pillar is a two step process. 
-First you need to select the pillar you wish to harvest. You can do this by standing 
-next to the pillar and pressing the key <b>Q</b> key. You will see the selected pillar 
-changing its color to green. Then you can harvest the selected pillar by pressing the
-<b>E</b> key. You will see that the avatar bumps against the selected pillar. The
-bigger the pillar the more effort the avatar needs to make to harvest the pillar. When
-the pillar is harvested, you will see tokens added to your total at the top of the
-screen.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Collecting yellow components:</b> Collecting yellow component of a pillar is also a two step process. 
-First you need to select the pillar you wish collect component from. You can do
-this by standing next to the pillar and pressing the key <b>Q</b>. You will see
-the selected pillar changing its color to green. Then you can collect the yellow component at the top of the pillar 
-by pressing the key <b>X</b>. On the top of the screen you will see that
-tokens are added to your total.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Chatting with other players:</b> A chat box is present at the bottom of the
-screen. When another player is in the neighborhood, you can click on that
-avatar using the left mouse button to start a chat. You will see the character

-<b>Harvesting a purple pillar:</b> Harvesting a pillar is a two step process. 
-First you need to select the pillar you wish to harvest. You can do this by standing 
-next to the pillar and pressing the key <b>Q</b> key. You will see the selected pillar 
-changing its color to green. Then you can harvest the selected pillar by pressing the
-<b>E</b> key. You will see that the avatar bumps against the selected pillar. The
-bigger the pillar the more effort the avatar needs to make to harvest the pillar. When
-the pillar is harvested, you will see tokens added to your total at the top of the
-screen.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Collecting yellow components:</b> Collecting yellow component of a pillar is also a two step process. 
-First you need to select the pillar you wish collect component from. You can do
-this by standing next to the pillar and pressing the key <b>Q</b>. You will see
-the selected pillar changing its color to green. Then you can collect the yellow component at the top of the pillar 
-by pressing the key <b>X</b>. On the top of the screen you will see that
-tokens are added to your total.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Chatting with other players:</b> A chat box is present at the bottom of the
-screen. When another player is in the neighborhood, you can click on that
-avatar using the left mouse button to start a chat. You will see the character
-associated with the selected avatar (<i>A</i>, <i>B</i>, <i>C</i> or <i>D</i>)
-appearing in the chat box indicating that you can send messages to that
-player.

-<h3>Round 3 Instructions</h3>
-<p>
-You will now appear on the screen as a yellow dot <img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-self.gif">, 
-and your other group members appear as blue dots <img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-other.gif">.
-You move by pressing the four arrow keys to the right of your keyboard.  You
-can move either up, down, left, or right.  You have to press a key for every
-move of your yellow dot.  In this experiment you can collect green diamond
-shaped tokens 
-<img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-token.gif"> and you will
-earn two cents for each collected token.  To collect a token, simply move your
-yellow dot over a green token and press the <b>space bar</b>.  If you move
-over a token without pressing the <b>space bar</> you will NOT collect that
-token.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The tokens that you collect have the potential to regenerate.  After you have
-collected a green token, a new token can once again appear on that empty cell.
-However, the rate at which new tokens will appear depends on the number of
-adjacent cells that still have tokens.  The more tokens in the 8 cells around
-an empty cell, the faster a new token will appear on that empty cell.  In
-other words, the presence of tokens will generate new tokens over time.  Thus
-the middle cell in Image 1 denoted with X will be regenerated at a faster rate
-than the middle cell in Image 2.  When all neighboring cells are empty, there
-is no renewal.

-<h3>Practice Round Instructions</h3>
-<hr>
-<p>
-You will now have four minutes to practice with the experimental environment.
-The decisions you make in this round will NOT influence your earnings. At the
-beginning of the practice round half of the cells are occupied with green
-tokens.  The environment is a 14 x 14 grid of cells.
-</p>
-<p>
-When you push the <b>R</b> key you will reset the distribution of
-the tokens to randomly occupying half of the cells with green tokens.

-<h3>Round 4 Instructions</h3>
-<hr>
-<p>
-The length of the round is 4 minutes. Like in the practice round you can collect green tokens. This time
-you earn <b>two cents</b> for each token collected. This time you
-<b>cannot</b> reset the distribution of green tokens. 
-</p>
-<p>
-In this round the renewable resource will become four times bigger. You will
-share this larger environment with four other players in this room.  Each of
-you has been randomly assigned to one of several equal-sized groups.  Each of
-the groups is collecting tokens from an identical, but separate resource. 
-</p>
-<p>
-Each of you has been assigned a number from 1 to 4.  The other three players
-will appear on the screen as blue dots 
-<img src="@CODEBASE_URL@/images/gem-other.gif"> with a white
-number embedded in the dot.  On the top right corner of the screen you can see
-how many tokens each player has collected.
