I don't have an issue with hashing things out a bit before hand. Yeah, the dead have more 'threat' if you don't just blast through them, always thought that myself.<br/><br/>We could go from free writing to gm style posts in combat, where we state the actions our characters are going to attempt for the next few seconds each round and then whoever is 'running' that scene tells us all results... Though I understand full well how that wouldn't suit everyone I have seen it work very well in a few of the PBeM games I am involved with.<br/><br/><br/>M.
