If it makes you feel any better, I have had the game on my mind as well.
I think we should split the group into two squads. One would be the main squad who will more or less
lead the way, enter the rooms first be the first into the fight. The second group will be a reserve group who
watches for anything from behind, can do independent scouting (like head down the other hallway we are facing now), checks for hidden treats etc.
This might be an option as well.
From an "avoid confusion" standpoint, I can see how things stand to get mucked up on occasion in a play-by-post game with multiple threads and a party this large. At the same time, dividing the party in half might expose one (or both) groups beyond a point where it's safe.
If this most recent door Elwita mentioned opening did spill into a room filled with all sorts of baddies... we would obviously be in a better position at full strength. At the same time, however, there's nothing that says the party needs to enter a room simply because a door was opened. If we do divide and one group stumbles upon something powerful, there's a chance (though, probably not a certainty) the discovering group could fall back and attempt to re-group with the other members.
I, seriously, would be fine either way.
