Yeah, it'd be better to just let people RP three hours after you've finished writing the card...ha- just kidding, it wouldn't be done that quickly. Better yet have the card out as many as *4* days late, and take weeks off at random.
You're the master man. No wonder Dean came back to work with you ERRRRRRR...

By setting a deadline,

Or hold back the results so long that by the time the next card is up everyone has maybe three days to RP.

Then, when
>the card is late for some reason, you've got nothing

Or for several weeks, right?

Once that

Or whether they'll have to read tedious soap opera scripts and results like:
"Robby Rocket used power moves, then Max Manson came back with technical moves. Finally Sally Spoon ran in and clobbered them both, demanding a shot at the title. Then Lucy Lethal came in and they kissed."

Thanks for the advice Shane! You're a prince among men.
