The Arete Engine should have a standard interface accessable via both email and
the web.

Between turn runs, the data should be split into dynamic and static data. Data
that can be changed by a player between turn runs should be in the Player
object and all other data should be in the Faction object and others.


Inter-turn message-processing logic:

    Receive email
        Parse for dynamic orders
	    Authenticate dynamic orders
	    Attempt dynamic orders
            Report status of attempts
        Parse for static orders
            Authenticate static orders
	    Attempt to log static orders
            Report status of attempts
        Reply with attempt reports
