Mikey.
Thanks for putting so much thought into this for us. I LOVE the links at the bottom to the OP site. For me, that makes a world of difference.
I'm cool with this too with one exception, when we enter combat, I'd like to have a say in what Lerissa does.
Another thought is how bout we split the day into two parts. How bout we give you a plan for the morning or until an encounter happens and then after that point we give you another plan for the afternoon? This would still allow us some RP thoughout the day and during encounters - a part that is fun for all of us.
Just my thoughts and if the others prefer your original proposal, I'm fine doing it wholly your way.
