To be clear: I can break my mission into two posts, right?EDIT: Another thing: Are we allowed to decide the outcome of actions, or do we just take an action and leave the outcome up to you?

That is correct. Missions can take as many posts as the players want, however a new game turn will begin once the majority of players have finished theirs. You will not be left behind however, and likely, your mission will either be continued or cancelled depending on the state of things. (May need you guys to go elsewhere, for example)

Yes, this is a story, and therefore players can decide everything. Unless what they do angers people.
