It might be a clumsy roll along and not up to your usual "when prepared" standards but I don't accept that its a given that a Gm will have to resort to out-of-character orders to keep his game running.I would chalk such as you describe as inevitable as a number one with a bullet entry in the "bad GMing" playbook.  it is likely it would result in me leaving on the spot or more likely finishing the session and then bowing out of the game.YMMV</blockquote>
