I see three options:</p>
<p>Mark the campaign as inactive and move on
<br />
Pass on my reference material and let one of you guys take over as GM
<br />
Recruit a new GM with a recruitment thread</p>

Once this 'combat round report' hits the gameplay thread you can post your next action. After I get inputs from everyone I will resolve the actions in initiative order and post the results for the round, whereupon everyone can post their actions again and we'll wrap up that round- etc.
<p>Right now Alviss and Lummel have listed their intended action for this round, and I'll post the results of the combat round as soon as I have yours. A system like this will prevent us from having to worry about who's turn it is to post their action and should speed up combat rounds so that individual encounters won't each take a month to work through...</p>Hopefully I can clear things up...

<p>PbP combat was taking too long while we were waiting for everyone to post in initiative order. I switched it to having everyone declare their actions for the round, along with their intentions in case the action they intended is rendered irrelevant by something that happened earlier in the initiative order. Once I have everyone's action for the round I'll resolve everything in initiative order and post the results. As soon as I post the results for the round you can post your actions for the next round.</p>
<p>I've seen it work in other PbPs and it should speed things up quite a bit.</p>Sorry, I thought I'd cleared that up...
