I am suggesting the following special rules here. Can you tell me your opinion on them? (I got this from a Diplo pbem site and modified it a bit.)

1) Players should submit moves by the deadline, come hell or high water. Players may wish to submit a set of tentative orders as soon as possible and then modify them as the turn progresses. A player who consistently misses the deadline (ie NMRs) risks being expelled from the game. If you need more time you should request a deadline extension, in cases of genuine need. A grace period will apply up until I process the orders.
3) Feel free to ask for deadline extensions at any time (but not later than 24 hours before a deadline, please). However, if you will be unable to continue playing permanently or for a significant period of time, you should notify me as soon as possible to allow me time to find a replacement (unless you have one yourself, which is preferable).
4) Ten GM commandments (from a pbem site)
- I will remain impartial in all matters.
- I will not interfere in game play.
- I will not interpret orders.
- I will not comment on any perceived notions, alliances, or treachery in the game.
- I will not actively participate in player deceptions.
- I will delay the game and ask for new orders from a player if I suspect that a player's orders were faked by another player.
- I will do my best to meet all my information processing and game maintenance responsibilities as quickly and accurately as possible.
- I will not change the basic game parameters after players start signing up, unless the players vote to do so unanimously.
- I will endeavour to be 'firm, fair, but friendly' at all times.
- I will try, to the best of my abilities, to ensure that everyone has fun!

I Pope Not-so-Innocent the first, wish well to my allies and excommunication to my foes. Tithes are due by the end of the month...
