The bigger problem with Web-based proposals is that not everyone knows
HTML. lynx isn't really a problem; it's actually quite nice for some of
these things. (I do much of my work with lynx -- a couple keystrokes and
I'm in my editor of choice, which has some handy HTML-izing macros.)

Yeah, but that's not the POINT.

Ideally, this game is bigger than me. It simply isn't fair for me to make
everyone else (and we're averaging 8-10 "active" players, and two or three
hyperactive ones, at any given time) twiddle their proverbial or literal
thumbs for up to a week at a time just because I'm having a lousy day.
