same_differenceThis 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.

9)Which affect, school, path, monster or guild do you most fear? anarchy
10)What do you think of the role of nonmilitary on patrols? I think they are essential, but the characters should have a personal reason for going, so that they aren't causing trouble for the military. This is, of course, provided the military are in charge of the mission.

14)Of the rules changes in question 6 you've lived through which have you been most pleased with? Hard to say... we've adapted to them all, and they seem to be fine as changes go, but overall I could be happy with any rules combination given time.
15)Of the rules changes in question 6 you've lived through which have you most disliked after playing with it? Willpower/toughness: it's difficult to remember which spells affect which and things like that.
16)Of the rules changes in question 6 you've lived through which did you most dislike when they were suggested? The changes to the college.
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.

19)Which do you believe to be the weakest class? Scouts.
20)What's your ideal party size? six or seven
21)What's your ideal party make up (i.e. how many warriors, scouts, etc)? A mage, a scout, a warrior, and a few priests - at least one justice or life alligned priest.
22)Is the system too complicated, and would you make it simpler if you were writing it? It is too complicated for large groups, say more than 20 involved.
23)Complication not withstanding is the system fun? It's a fun system to play.
