TL questionnaire
This is purely of interest for people who have played TL, so I shall cut it, but I would appreciate every answer I get so thanks for making the time. Basically I have a vague concept that might given some real consideration warrant the term of a theory, following the highly obvious relation between when you started and the perceptions of the system you have. Answers in comments please; if an option doesn't fit at all or there are no options please leave a short comment instead.
First basic questions that seem pertinent
1)How often do you larp?
a)As often as circumstances allow (even tweaking circumstances to allow it).
b)Frequently (not every Sunday you could, but most)
c)On occasion (Basically when the weather is nice and you feel like it)
d)Rarely
e)Events only (36hr, 24hr and IC meals)
f)Not any more.
2)Have you ever run a game:
a)Yes and a campaign even.
b)Yes, but only one offs.
c)Yes, but only as a co-gm.
d)Never.
More specific questions that help establish your origins with the system

Some questions about how you view the nature/mechanics of the system. The questions are about the rules, not the club, or the setting. While useful, these views are often well known and not pertinent to this particular chain of thought.

16)Of the rules changes in question 6 you've lived through which did you most dislike when they were suggested?
17)Which three specific or general things in the rules would you most like to change and why? This is with regards to mechanics within the rules and only things defined within the rules documents. Short answers please (i.e. too complicated, doesn't work, unbalanced, too dull, too confusing)

19)Which do you believe to be the weakest class?
20)What's your ideal party size?
21)What's your ideal party make up (i.e. how many warriors, scouts, etc)?
22)Is the system too complicated, and would you make it simpler if you were writing it?
23)Complication not withstanding is the system fun?

Strength; poorly applied in regard to 1h vs 2h damage modifiers.
Bastard weapons; should be treated as a roleplay object, not a phsyical definition, with suitable point costs to reflect this.
Strength; casting of strength should be reordered a little, with 3 level spacing rather than just 2s.

Tank, dps, healer, 2x random

Yes, yes.
23)Complication not withstanding is the system fun?
No, it's merely a system. Human input is what contributes to enjoyment
