I feel you on that point... I have had some rough issues with posting orders, but in some cases it is useful to have a basic one. My favorite is to wait for two posts or an hour. I only really have issues with not having posting orders if a set of people run away with the RP and a couple are left in the dust.

Yeah, posting orders sometimes work, and sometimes if they are enforced too strictly the RP dies because some people get impatient and lose interest. Or if someone has something going on that causes them to not be able to post, you run the risk of leaving people behind, which again causes RPs to die.

It's a common problem with RPs with a lot of people. A few of them can get trapped in dialogue, while everyone else is trying to move things along. Suddenly you have things all happening at the same time at different times of the "day" in the RP. Everyone gets confused and either does their own thing or simply leave and once again, the RP dies.

There has to be some sort of order that the GM can enforce.
