*Davis- [[User:Peluche|Will Banowsky]]

*I haven't seen them all - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]

*Not all of them have pictures, so I can't say - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*As beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I plead the 5th Ammendment! -[[herbalsheila]]
*You know you want to vote for me herbalsheila, admit it. JK- [[User:Peluche|Will Banowsky]]

=== Will the game become more or less active during the winter? === 
*More active. -[[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*Have to agree. More active unless *everyone* lives in Austrailia! -[[User:Nymes|GC]]
*I dunno, maybe, ussually spring is my more active time, but who knows. -[[User:Peluche|Will Banowsky]]
*I'm going to be posting more, I can tell you that. So, I think it'll be overall more active since most players are in either the US, Canada, or Britain. -[[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*Our game will probably become less active due to the fact that we have college students, teens, and teachers, all who are beginning to go back to school to do what they do. -[[herbalsheila]]

=== Is it cold where you live in the winter? === 
*Yep - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*Sure is. Isnt the arctic, tho - [[User:Nymes|GC]]
*I live in the American Southwest(Oklahoma) and grew up in Texas.  We get snow once a year and get some cold temperatures...but on average I can wear shorts in winter.- [[User:Peluche|Will Banowsky]]
*In the dead of winter, it can get to around 5 or 6 below Farenheit, about 15 below Centigrade. So you tell me. We also get buried in snow. A Massachusettsism is that 6" of snow is considered a dusting. - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*Oh yeah! It feels like the middle of the Artic when the wind blows and it slices through you. -[[herbalsheila]]
*Sometimes. But more often it seems to be damp and chilly rather than downright cold. But then again give us 2" of snow here in the UK and everything grinds to a halt. Because after all, why on earth would it SNOW in WINTER??[[User:Rivers|Liz Geuken]]
* I would think something was wrong if it wasn't cold here, in the winter...and 4 feet of snow is normal, besides we really need it to make our igloos, though I wish it was a mild 70 all year round. Canuck [[Ammon Ranae]] [[USS Hades]]

=== In your opinion, what is one of the better wiki articles here? ===
*52nd Fleet - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*I like the Civil War stuff, mainly as theres a lot of info in there - [[User:Nymes|GC]]
*The main Civil War article, I think. (PS: I was the first to use Federation Civil War was what to call this thing on the wiki. Check my article on [[Joran Matthew Brownlee|Joran]].) - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*I have to say I like The Horta Report! he he he! But yes we need more articles and I like the story of the Sevant family murders, which gives a better background to the Civil War. -[[herbalsheila]]
*I would have to say 52 Fleet - [[Jono Bradley]]

=== Have you ever wanted to play someone else's character? ===
*Yes, I wanted to play [[Dru Tagon]] baddly. [[Khran]] has a few of his character elements. - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*I borrowed a lot of personality of [[Jewort Trewe]] in my character [[Oliver Montague]] but So far i haven't found a character I'd like to... acquire.- [[User:Nymes|GC]]
*No. The majority of my characters are based on different aspects of me, or aspects of people I know. - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*Nope, but I have some neat ideas for others that I want to play eventually! -[[herbalsheila]]

=== Do some people's characters know too much about the 20th century? (in character) ===
*Probably - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*Maybe. Then again, i doubt they know enough about the 24th! - [[User:Nymes|GC]]
*My character does, he knows quite a bit about 20th and 21st, due mainly because its his favorite hobby and has a vast amount of holodeck programs on the early 21st century.  Dunno why, he just does.- [[User:Peluche|Will Banowsky]]
*No, but my character loves early 21st century literature. - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*Yes - but then that's a mistake I make myself sometimes. It's very easy to forget that the 20th century is to the 25th (we're in 2407) what the 1500s are to us. Distant history. - [[User:Rivers|Liz Geuken]]
*Mine does, but she watches a lot of 20th century vids [[Ammon Ranae]]/[[USS Hades]]
*Ensign Ash Divay knows about Weapons of 20,21st Century amd Military History as he studied those in Star Fleet Marine Corps. - [[User:ashdivay|Ash Divay]]

=== Do you like big long NRPG discussions that span 20+ e-mails? ===
*Sometimes - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*no. Sometimes it can be a bit Spammy - [[User:Nymes|GC]]
*No, I prefer short and to the point, unless it's the old "I'm not evil" joke we have on my ship when somebody new comes on. - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*Depends on the discussion - [[User:Rivers|Liz Geuken]]
* There's always the delete button. [[USS Hades|Ammon Ranae]]
No, cause I'd rather be playing and doing RPGs than NRPGs. -[[herbalsheila]]

=== Do you wish you could play a canon Trek character sometimes? (despite being against the rules) ===
*Not really. - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*No fun there - [[User:Nymes|GC]]
*No. It would be interesting to have them on the peripherary like in the ''New Frontier'' novels. - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|Vulcantrekkie45]]
*Depends on how you define canon. I define canon to include the Star Trek novels, particularly those written by Diane Duane. She was one of few writers that descibed with some detail different non-humanoid races, both serving on board the Enterprise and in the rest of Starfleet. I'd rather play another one of the species she portrays as another character on ST:F. -[[herbalsheila]]
*No. I prefer my own creations. You can be more creative ;) - [[User:Rivers|Liz Geuken]]

=== Will sunglasses still be worn in the 25th century? ===
*I don't even think there will be a sun in the 25th century. - [[User:KevinSchram|Kevin Schram]]
*probably, but nothing like we think they will be like - [[User:Nymes|GC]]
*Yes. Cool shades will never go out of style. - [[User:VulcanTrekkie45|VulcanTrekkie45]]
*Sure, but they may get a lot more high tech. -[[herbalsheila]]
*All I am gonna say is, the sun never sets on cool....ya thats it.-[[User:Peluche|Will Banowsky]]
* No, they'll all have built in 'transition' lenses in their eyeballs -[[USS Hades|Ammon Ranae]]
