Remember how I said a while ago that I was going to be running Return to the Tomb of Five Corners for some friends to introduce them to Exalted? Well does anyone know of an easy way to handle combat via PbP? I mean aside from having a tick counter.

The main thing I thought of to simplify things is that, instead of waiting for the target of an attack to declare how they're defending against it, you just use the largest of their DVs and if they want to stunt it or use a reflexive Charm, the player says so in their next post and it's just ret-conned into the ST's post?

How's it normally handled in PbP? Has anyone worked out a simple-ish way of doing it?
