Hey, I feel like it could be important to include some variable in the name of the characters whether or not they are interested in moving, but feel like they are waiting for someone else to move. You'd have to make the character icons follow you down the screen on the left hand side as a result, but I think that would be beneficial anyways (It is irritating to have to scroll back up, though I understand some games have far too many PCs to handle that option).

A "Waiting/Ready" option would allow people to know if others are just waiting and then be able to decide to continue or not if everyone is just sitting on their thumbs.
