It's in the order of operations, and I updated as I saw actions in convos. It's also what allowed me to push a recap out a couple of minutes after the day ended.
It couldn't of been much faster than it was (except the day the wizard + politician shenaniganed) because I had to wait and make sure my browser wasn't being silly at loading last second conversations.
I just had a brilliant idea for a really easy and neat way to do this using google forms.
So a player opens the form, puts in their forum username, a special passphrase, their target, and then anything else. The passphrase is to ensure that the correct player is making that move and it isn't someone trying to kid around. Then in the excel document, there's a filter that only shows the entries on that date, with the correct player/passphrase combo. It automatically enters the role and date. Then the GM can easily look at it and see who did what and who has yet to use their powers. You could even use a public form for votes. I'll set that sort of system up, and make a simple rolesheet to test it out. If it goes well, I'll make a GM toolkit with detailed setup instructions. This IT class may be boring as frak, but I've definitely learned stuff.
