@Empiricist: While that is good, I don't think finding posts isn't the biggest problem for piecewise. I think it's actually quoting them. I was thinking more of something like this, so that piecewise gets all the posts ready, and just has to copypaste posts together if there are any hidden combat actions. Assuming there are also statuses in each player's action (added either by the players themselves or by the person collecting these posts), this should remove about half an hour or more of simply finding posts and stats and copying actions.
Note: The posts are in the wrong order since piecewise processes post in the order they were posted except for combat between players.

[b]Walk outside the temple and say words. All of them. Wear the results. EDIT: Also test the properties of my new body. Do I still need to breath? Do I tire? Is my flesh more resilient than normal? Do I bleed? Ect. Then go grab the light crossbow from Empiricist, and finally wander down the cliff path away from the temple.[/b]
[S]Empiricist, is there any decent weapon you'd like tested/would just give away? Could I have it? My first stat point will be going into dex, so I'll have a +1 to dex rolls shortly.[/s]

If that doesn't work, then we can either cut NPC spawning and only have bosses around (I was going to say go back to the arena but I like exploring the world, plus there are things like remote god altars that would be hard to do in the arena) if NPCs take a lot of his time. Or cut the number of players. (in this post there are about 25 players, so something like 18 or 15?)
@Sarzael: You're lucky my current action allows you to retaliate. My original action had me detonate a superweapon, but then I saw there were people I liked in the courtyard and decided against it.
