It's always the first few days after the in-character thread is started that we get the fast, overwhelming posting, then an RP will typically slow down to a normal pace after that. I'm in agreement with everyone else; for an RP with this many people in it we may need a system to limit posting a bit. I've never done a posting order before, but it is definitely something that I'm willing to try. Still, one thing that bothers me is what Byrum sort of mentioned: all it would take to deadlock the entire RP and prevent everyone else from participating is for one player to not post when their turn comes around.
