Should we go to non-linear time?

On America, one of the beautiful things we did that kept the sim moving along without having to wait for responses is that we moved to non-linear time. IT sometimes was tricky as you had to pay attention to several different threads to make sure that stuff on day 3, your character didn't know on Day 1 and that you did not do something that conflicted with things other people wrote previously or subsequently. However, what it did do, was keep the sim moving at a pace that everyone was comfortable at. Those who did not post as often, could post and contribute at their own pace. Those who contributed more frequently, could post at their pace.

The best part about bulletin boards, though, is that in non-linear time, we can have Mission or Day whatever and have several threads for each day. So, do you think we should try it for Mission 3?

I'm willing to give it a try. We can always go back if we don't like it.

I'm with TK, if it works, great! If it doesn't, we can go back to linear

It will either inspire me to post more, or confuse me - be interesting to see which

I'm good with it too.

Looks like non-linear time wins. I'll set it up just as soon as I can figure out what happened to our new CMO who seems to have disappeared recently.
