Is there a way to post updates of how the game is going that might be of interest to spectators without making super secret tactics public and ruining the game?

i think the biggest limitations on the rate of play are that everyone's 1) an adult 2) with a job 3) all over the world. the practical maximum is probably 1 turn per 2 days if everyone's super committed, because i wasn't thinking about time zones when assigning the turn order.

one thing to do could be to find an hour or two when everyone can be online and crank through a bunch of turns all at once. might not be possible given peoples' working schedules.

another thing would be you all tell me in detail what you want to have happen w/ your faction up to turn 20 or whatever and then I personally play through everyone's turns up to that point to get us to a more interesting point in the game.

Now it's day and night the keyboard clang, and like poor gaming mans 
We post and post and when we die, must take dishonored bans 
But some dark night, when everything is silent on the 'pos 
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all, I'll make the admins cross 
I'll give the forum a little shock, remember what I post,

i wish i had a job.

that's not a bad idea though, since you don't have a stake in the game.
wouldn't be opposed to it.
