Something I'm going to propose for this game, that I hope will mitigate the effects of prolonged delays in posting, is the inclusion of Conditional Orders.  A conditional order would be you sending me a PM before the fight with something like... "I'm a fighter, so I'm going to just run up and attack whatever looks the most dangerous. I'll move intelligently and if the Rogue needs me to flank then I'll try to do that."  Basically telling me how your character is likely to respond to threats in the middle of a battle.<br/><br/>In the event that you're unable to post for<em>24</em>hours, this will allow me to keep combat flowing smoothly while still giving you a degree of control over your character's actions.<br/><br/>Out of combat, I won't move the scene along without you unless<em>48</em>hours have gone by, at which point you'll be gently NPCed.  I have no intention of screwing anyone over because of time constraints, but at the same time I want to prevent stalling.<br/><br/>Does this sound fair?  Let me know what you all think.
