Okay, this is going to get confusing real quick.

I understand why the rules were changed, making actions resolve at a specific time and order, but it has the effect that players can react to actions before they happen, since they are posted in thread. If you're allowed to cancel actions it gets even stranger, with players reacting to actions that never happen at all. So I have to ask, is there such a thing as canceling an action?

I also expect the action resolution order to bring about some unexpected results. Imagine a player leaving a region and another player entering it some time later. The player leaving the region then decides to leave behind a mine, long after he decided to leave the area.

My common sense would say that actions should be final when posted, and they should be resolved in the order they were posted.

Also, as pretty as the picture of the VR Arena was, those colored tokens for the players confuse the hell out of me. So:

vezokpiraka	chesskid3	Fate, inHimshallibe, VasudeVa
curiouskarmadog	(no one)	Feysal, Gammagooey
Furcolow, Plum	TheButtonmen	VP Baltar

I'd have loved to make this a table with fixed cell sizes and a background image, but the BBCodes for tables are regrettably unflexible in that sort of thing. Very crude too, add any line breaks within the code and you get extra space above the table.

I don't see anything wrong with being able to strafe an attack. This is a FPS afterall.

I'm not sure about the mine thing, but as far as I know you can't really take actions back...at least that was my impression of the rules. I think the arena pic is fine, but if you want to post the table feel free. It may be problematic, which I'll display in awhile.

No. THAT's too exploitable.

...which was what we had before, mostly.

I'm willing to keep recharge times the way they are (all restoring simultaneously). The drawback to immediate resolution is that it will cause people to have to keep track of an increasing number of actions in between updates (and a lot of actions WILL be used between updates) which gets messier if people deliberately use invalid actions (which right now could be out of ignorance but later could be a modkillable, etc. offense).

I can do this if enough people prefer it.
