Re: OOC: Who is doing what now?!
At some point during the game, probably soon (-ish), we'll have a certain amount of combat to go through. Now, a 20-round fight can take hours IRL; on RPoL, it can take months.
So, here are a few quick rules for combat:
Players should set up a few contingency plans for their character - that is, announce beforehand what kind of action their characters will take, given certain circumstances.
During combat, each player has 24 hours from the beginning of the round to declare his actions for said round: if they fail to do so, the closest "contingency" action will be taken for their character. If no contingency plan applies, the character is so surprised by the events that they lose the round trying to make sense of them.
Characters who lose their round are considered to be on total defense, unless they specify a different contingency plan for that (e.g., "if I don't know what to do, use 'aid another' on the nearest attacking ally").
