True. But in a group extended contest, some people will go early and be able to do what they'd like, others will be attacked (or whatever) before they're able to execute their plan and thus their AP is determined by the ability they had to use to resist the attack. I'm wondering, how do I determine in what order people go to start on the 1st round, thus, in effect, who's going to be determining what the scope of the contest is.
