The majority answers are posted below.

1. How was the most recent plotline, Rite of Passage?
Great Good Okay Bad Horrible Other (Expand on above selection)

2. How often did you post during this mission?
Once a week or more. Once per every two weeks. Once. Period. Never. Other (Expand on above selection)

3. If you posted less than once a week, why?
I was sick, busy with exams, etc. I couldn't think of something for my character to do within the plotline. The sim timeline moved to slow. I had to wait for it move forward, otherwise, my posts wouldn't make sense within the timeline. A character can only reasonably do so much in one day. Not Applicable/I posted at least once a week. Other (Please be specific)

4. Do you think mission masters should plan specific things for each department to do?
Yes, tell me everything my department should be doing - what are the problems, what results should I give, etc. Yeah, tell me the major stuff you want me to do, such as results, but let me decide how to do it and what problems I have. If you need something specific from a department, like the engines need to mysteriously shut down or something, yeah, go ahead, otherwise, don't worry about me. Don't tell me anything. I want full and complete autonomy! Other (Please be specific)

5. How did the Plot Author(s) perform in this regard in this plotline?
Great. Gave me the exact amount of info. GM, you're the best! Good. I had enough to work with, but I could have used a little more specifics. Okay. Bad. My department didn't have a lot to do in this mission. Horrible! I was completely overlooked! GM, you suck. Other (Please be specific)

6. Here's your chance to be specific. What did you think was good about the GM's performance as mission master and/or his mission? What did you think was bad or needs improvement? Or, what did you think stood out as exemplary? What would you have changed/improved/cut in the plot?

7. For future missions and mission planners - should a part be written for each player?
Yes, give each character a specific role, or create specific roles characters can fill. Yes, write missions with general over all roles that apply to everyone. No, you don't have to worry about everyone. You can create specific roles for specific characters, while others take a break. No, you don't have to worry about everyone. You can create a general over all role that can apply to half the crew, and players can choose to participate or not. I wouldn't mind a mix. One mission can have each character do something specific, while another mission's plot only applies to about half the general crew. Just vary the line up. Other (Please be specific)

8. What themes/moods do you prefer or would like to see soon?
Gloom and Doom! More hell, more torture, more Death! Depression. Let's explore our characters saddest moments. Let's kill off Curran and Mitchell and mourn. Fun and Celebration. Let's lighten the mood. Write a fun mission. Let's kill off Curran and Mitchell and party! Exploration. Write a mission where we encounter some curious anomoly or meet a curious new species. Adventure. Space battles, hand to hand combat, shoot up the bad guys. Bring on the Hirogen hunters! Political. Section 31, Klingon relations, Romulan spies, I don't care. Give me a story with political intrigue. Wasn't there a recent shift of power within the Federation? Other (Please be specific)

9. What about the size of your respective sim?
Too big. We should not let any new members in, and kick off the dead weight. Large. We shouldn't kick anyone off, but lets not let anyone else in. Just right. I don't think we really need more people, but if a really talented writer applies, we should let them join. Small. A couple more won't hurt, but let's not go overboard. Tiny. What's the deal? We should be out recruiting! Other (Please be specific)
