The game I used to play on Skype involved that the GM would give us a mission at the end of the week, and then we would spend the rest of the week chatting on Skype, planning and inventing a course of action.  Then when the mission started the next week, we had something good to go and the GM had his mission set up accordingly.<br/><br/>This is what I'm used to but I understand if it's not others' preferred style.  My point is more that I'm happy with the current speed but am also willing to speed things up if others prefer.
