    I have a dislike to questionnaires. I will generally get to the end of one and something will go wrong. Sometimes, I won't get to the end on purpose because I can't decide whether Im not satisfied, slightly satisfied, more than slightly satisfied, satisfied, more than satisfied, greatly satisfied, or extremely satisfied. But I completed the recent TSW2 questionnaire, because I have a real interest here. After 28 questions that hadn't been that bad, I pressed 'DONE'. I had hoped for a confirmation screen or thank you, if only to confirm my time spent hadn't been wasted. The next screen to appear was however, an advert. So I still don't know if I have completed it, or that it has been received.

    if there is a survey with, say, 5 options with Highly Satisfied at one end and Highly Dissatisfied at the other end, I rarely tick Highly Satisfied as there is always room for improvement. However, inevitabley I then get the question “Why did you not rate us highly satisfied” as if that was an entitlement.

    I often do the McDonalds ones as they offer Amazon vouchers as prizes. They nearly always ask a question like “why did you rate us ,,,,?”. I always put “Because you asked me”.

    I didn't get a completion screen either, just threw me back to the survey website but generally means it's all submitted so not to worry

    There was a tiny banner across the top saying submitted/thanks. Blink and you’ll miss it. Safe bet your time and answers were captured :cool:

    I’ve just done it but I’ve a complaint to make. Why isn’t there an option that says England in the which country do you come from section?:o

    Joke! ;)

    I mean the good thing about the questionnaires is it's a good way for everyone - from the forums, Discords, other forums etc. To be heard. I completed mine when it came out and let them know exactly what I thought.

    There wasn’t but the order of the list was interesting. It looked like it was in order of importance of the countries on the world stage, because UK was near the bottom :cool:

    Mine also had the Thank You banner, but once it had peeked in and gone again, I was left with an ad, so that's what people might be seeing, particularly if they're on a browser where the banner doesn't display as intended.

    As we all know, the most influential country in the world is of course, Andorra and Afghanistan!!!!!!!1111!!!

    ABout the actual questionnaire, Like a few people, I too noticed that multiplayer wasn't an option for the things we most wanted to see. SO my guess is that multiplayer MIGHT come to TSW2 maybe for next year's annual uptade.

    From my research, looks like we need Albanian and Algerian trains, as they are the most influential!!

    The Algerians did have a double-pacific (4-6-2+2-6-4) streamlined Garratt. Wouldn't you love to have this monster?
