Title: Delayed Standing Orders
Summary:
I think many marshals would like to avoid saying "next turn" in the standing orders, because when the next turn rolls around, well, it still says "next turn.". Some sort of "rolling" standing orders would be nice.
Details::
Todays orders until dusk: Move to Region A
Tonights orders: Wait for stragglers and misdirect to region B
Tomorrows orders: Move to region C
Tomorrow nights orders: Wait for stragglers and misdirect to region D
Next: Move to region D
Each turn, the orders move up one slot, so that everyone knows what they should be doing at that time, and what they should do the next turn.
To keep this from becoming useless in actual combat, marshals should be able to delete one or all of the orders.
And yes, there is a risk from planning 4 days in advance: if your marshal gets stabbed, then players may follow the wrong orders.
Benefits:
This would reduce confusion in the army about which orders are current. This would also make it easier for players to play the marshal position, which is currently very demanding in terms of time commitment.
Possible Exploits:
Possibly used to impact activity levels by using as a jusitifcation for fining players?
