The point isn't the order, its the act of threatening players if they don't comply. We have lives and therefore cannot be damned if we don't happen to log in that turn or even that day. Having to turn around and go through complex orders is utterly against the 'play 15 minutes a day if you wish, thats all it takes' credo this game totes.
Go ahead and give the other, but don't start threatening fines and punishment just because people have real lives, careers, and families, and cannot immediately log in to do a split-second move. Its an issue I've always faced during my times as leader and general in various strategy-war games. In the end, we can't be anything but understanding of their plight, as one cannot expect every player to log in multiple times a day and have time for last-minute maneuvers.
