Okay, so! According to the most recent test posts, does that mean that the rolls in the preview are starting to match the rolls in the post? If so, that would be awesome! It can be kind of a hassle figuring out/remembering if there are two rolls on the post and then using the original.
And for anyone who hasn't played yet, I'd recommend that, when you're ready to post in the match, make a placeholder after you change the formatting properly, and then use the rolls that show up in your post. In my experience, at least, when you go to modify it (NOT preview it afterward, I cannot stress the importance enough that once you post, do not preview even if you're modifying) then the text in the box under attack and defense should still read [dice=20] instead of reverting to the table stuff like it does when you preview. And, after typing up your post and NOT previewing it, the modified post should have the same dice roll as the one given before any text is put in.
If anyone tries this and it doesn't work for them, please pm me or post here. It's working fine for me, and it isn't nearly the hassle of screenshotting your "preview roll" and then using that instead of the roll shown in the thread itself. Also tell me if this post doesn't make any sense whatsoever XD

Yes, the dice rolls in preview SHOULD now match the final outcome after hitting "post", or after modifying your post. Your workaround should NOT be necessary anymore. Karena just tried for me, and she says it works. :]
EDIT: Also, there's a new info table up, go look gaiz.

Okay, really quick question. I'm doing a 1v1 with Sashu against Yuri at the moment. We've both posted once. Should I still wait until the other 2 players post before responding, or can I make another post versus Yuri only? I know there's the ABC posting rules, but since I've only really played in the first match, when it was two posts per round instead of unlimited ABC posts, I'm not sure how this works.
Thanks in advance!

ABC for your team - so if you've already posted and no one else on your team has, then you need to wait. This way, there is no advantage to people who have more time than others. :]

Okay, so say Kamil post then, is Karana's team able to all post again?
If so, what would happen to the attacks that happened previously in Karena's post? How would we defend? Would we have to choose?

Yes, once Kamil posts, Yuri and I can post again, and to my knowledge, you're waiting on Sigan so you and Sashu can post again. I'm a bit confused by your other questions. Could you rephrase and/or explain?

I think - and correct me if I'm wrong - what he's referring to is if you and Yuri post again before Sigan has posted. If that occurs, than we wouldn't be able to fight back against your first posts (which are responses to our first posts), effectively leaving us unable to defend against the first volley of attacks.
Like, for Yuri and I, the posting order would end up being:
Sashu -> Yuri -> Yuri
therefore allowing Yuri to attack Sashu twice without Sashu having a chance to defend herself. (Same with Jin, because Sigan hasn't had a chance to post yet.)
Does that make sense? Like, the optimal posting order would be:
Sashu -> Yuri -> Sashu -> Yuri
and so forth.

Yep, lol that's exactly what I meant. I had just gotten up from a nap, so my wording was choppy.

I'll let Kami answer for sure, but speaking personally, I would not send another attack to Jin unless he responded first.

Hm. Good question. I don't think it's really a problem, unless the other team posts something ridiculous like a 10 ABC cycle set. Since the updated rules ask for all teams to be considerate to the other team in regards to posting frequency, if a team starts going overboard I will start inflicting penalties.
I think it would be fine to count whatever defence roll you make at the time of posting toward however many times you're being attacked; if you think the other team is unfairly pushing their ABC order (say, more than three cycles?) then please let me know via PM and I will apply penalties as needed.
We haven't had much of an issue with teams posting too frequently, if I may be blunt, so there hasn't yet been a need to impose any changes in posting frequency or # of defence rolls.
Note: I am not going to force AA BB CC posting orders because it is really not Team A's problem if Team B doesn't post, you know? I think asking people to be considerate + monitoring the frequency of posting should be enough. :]

Alright, now that Sigan was knocked into the water, do we hae to wait for him to post to continue playing, or can Sashu and I just play against the other three?

If a teammate cannot further participate in the round (injury, knockout, foul play, etc), then feel free to ignore the ABC order for the rest of that round only, as they will be able to return the next round(s). :]

Okay, let's put this hypothetically.
Let's say Team A has one person in Zone 2 and the other two in Zone 1. If Team A pushes all of Team B into Zone 2, does that mean all members of Team A advance forward one Zone? I don't think there's ever been a problem like this in the show, so it's hard to tell.
I personally believe that there should not be that gap that leaves the A's player in Zone 2 behind. I don't believe that players should regain the ground lost, but I still think that all three players would move together in case of territory gain.
I think the same case should apply if Team A's player was in Zone 3. In case of a territory gain, that player would move into Zone 2, and not be left behind in Zone 3. But because that player was pushed back two zones during the round, they wouldn't automatically go up two zones because of territory gain.
Does that make sense? I'm just wondering if that's how it'll be played out, if it ever comes to that.
Also, should we roleplay getting the green light to advance, if that time comes? Will it be announced?

It's too late for this round (and honestly, editing it at this point would be kind of rubbing it in the Dragon-Hawks' faces =P), but you are somewhat right.
If you review the episode where both Hasook and Bolin were knocked out (I believe Episode 2), Mako knocked out two players, and pushed the last in zone three; to knock him out, Mako advanced the rest of the way, despite being knocked back into zone two earlier in the round.
I am not sure how this would apply if there were more than one member. I like the idea of everyone advancing forward one (so zone one would cross territory, zone two would go into zone one, and so on); what do you guys think?

Huh? No, no, I just thought of it during the round, not specifically for our match. Like I said, hypothetically speaking.
And like I said, I would go for everyone move up one zone for each zone the opponent loses.
Then all three of you would have posted and then you're free to post again.
