I had to go through all my game related pms and delete those that weren't order related to make it manageable, but I think I deleted order pms mistakenly.

Okay, it's not the end of the world, but I'm going to have to have the orders redone, and from now on I'm going to need a particular format. Faction orders should be made in the QT, there is no need to pm them, if you think you have a traitor you'll need to drum them out and we'll make a new QT. Faction orders should be titled as such: Faction orders for turn X, Final. It is okay to edit them up to the end of the phase, just make a post at the top of the thread which post number it is. Order pms for individuals should be titled as such: Westeros Phase X: Individual orders for CHAR NAME.

This is my fault as I had the same issues last time, but managed to muddle through. It took a lot more time than it should have, and I should have realised it would be worse this time and been more precise with the orders instructions, you live and learn.

QT orders are generally fine, there is no need to change any of those, the conflicts came when I had faction orders sent by pm and in QT. If you are happy with what you have they'll be fine, if you sent orders by pm, you'll need them added to the QT. I'll need all the individual orders resent unfortunately (you should be able to hit Sent Items and forward it from there, with a nice, new title), even those that were titled relevantly. Yes, in a fit of sore headed pique I deleted all the pms left in my inbox, I'm such a big child.

I hope this won't take too long, I'll get the game moving again as quickly as possible.

edit: Like I said, this is my fault for trying to make it simpler for you guys and not realising how awkward I'd make it for myself. If this sounds like I'm having a go at you or your faction, believe me, I'm not. Hopefully once we get this phase over it will begin to run more smoothly when we (I) get in to a routine and pattern. I did say we would be better starting in the New Year....

It was good to have two weeks of trial to get everything set :P
No problem, you are taking on a juggernaut of a game and I'm sure we all appreciate that ^^

For the PMs, you deleted them all, for example do we have to re-send old "noted" ones (related to this phase) and like messages to NPCs? Or it was every single PM?

Only actual orders need to be resent, and only those for individual characters, all faction orders must be in the QT.

There's a lot going on and I want to make sure I get everything right.
