[QUOTE="Asisreo, post: 8054178, member: 7019027"] When I say "play-by-post," I mean every action is a new picture. A football game captured on TV is a collection of pictures. Each picture moves the action along. With the collection of pictures, you can have it sped up so fast that it imitates live-action. However, what you can't do with live action is stop it, rewind it, or fast forward it. Blink, and you miss it. But with a football game on TV, we can stop it and analyze every bit of it or slow it down. We can see whether it was the O-line or quarterback or running back that pulled their weight in a play because we have the pictures. Likewise, each action the PC's or DM makes is another picture that moves the action along. If we have it unrecorded, you won't be able to slow it down or stop it. However, if it's recorded, it's just like a football game on TV. We can stop a play, rewind it, look at the results, and the experts can analyze it to see what went right or wrong. They can tell you whether the tight-end made the screen work or not. We've organized the data, but if anyone wants to go back into a specific time where Brady ran 40 yds for the touchdown or when Eltrian casted haste on the barbarian, the actual logs are there, and we can actually analyze them.
