Two more stumble upon the milky white void. They look to each other, then over to two others in the middle of some kind of collapse in the floor...

The poet is lost in thought. A single tear rolls down his cheek, but, it's lifted off of it...
The botanist runs from the boxer, but, he can't escape the caving floor!
The carpenter looks off into the horizon, then down at his feet at the growing, oddly patterned crack between them...
The grounds gives way...

Sorry for the delay, I'm actually kind of stuck on something. What kind of turn style would you like? I keep juggling what would fit, but eh, I'll just ask you what you want.

Style
Pros
Cons
Linear: Post your actions in the thread, they happen in that order.		+
Simple.		-
Fast posters always have priority, but also are susceptible to counter actions. May give longterm advantages for being fast, which some can't do, or stalling, which is lame.
PM: PM your turns.		+
The most fair.		-
Thread becomes a ghost town as the only posts are updates and maaaybe some player to player ribbing. (if lucky, but probably just silence.)
Spoiler: Spoiler your turns.		+
Something to look at for spectators.		-
Late arrivals may have seen stuff while they were spectators.
Randomized: Post your actions in the thread, unless they directly reference another's action, the order is random.
+
Lesson benefits of faster posters and counter actions.		-
Maybe a little harder to follow from reading player posts.
Turns: Post your actions in the thread, players go in a set order. I might base this of off athletic skills, maybe just arbitrary.
+
The most relaxed.		-
It would bug me not to reflect slowness from injuries, but micromanaging that could be a whole spiral.
Other: Describe your own preference other than these.		+
8 heads can probably out-think 1, and come up with a better way.		-
Might not take suggestion if it's too complicated or too much work, even if popular.

Sometimes I have a hard time hosting games. There may be pauses, or the game may end before it is complete. Sorry in advance if I disappoint.
