There is no particular questions regarding the simulation report. Prepare a two page report on the lessons learned. Some of the question that can be addressed:

• Did you feel yourself controlled by forces in the system from time to time? Or did you feel in control?
• Did you find yourself blaming the groups next to you for your problems?
• Did you feel desperation at any time? Focus on the sequence of decisions you made and why you made them.
• Would you do anything differently if you played the game again?
