Play-By-Post Swords

Play-By-Post Swords

We discussed this a little bit a while back, and the general conclusion was that "Bringing the Storm", specifically the dice-holding player's choice of when to roll and earn the right to act decisively, made PbP SWM unworkably difficult.  How would an Overplayer know to continue escalating?  Has the dice-holding Rogue actually seen the previous escalation?

I think I just figured it out, though.  You need to be on FB, G+, or forum software that allows +ing/thanking/liking a post. The Overplayer narrates escalation incrementally, in smaller posts.  The player with the dice can simply +/like/thank the Overplayer's escalation post to indicate "thank you sir, may I have some more?", or roll and seize control.

Thoughts?  Interest in testing?
