I certainly understand the desire not to want to log all movements, especially if you don't type well. However, I am not sure that we really want a log of every move. The timelines that have been summitted over the last couple of months have become pretty tideous - mine included.
I have come to the realization that it doesn't really interest me to know that you moved your Warrior one square to the SE, etc. I usually skip over those entries. What interests me, and what I think we should concentrate more on writing, is why we made a certain decision and how that decision fits in with an overall strategy. The strategy can be either short or long term. I know that some of you determine a strategy from the very beginning and stick to it. I can't play that way. However, I do have short term strategies and can articulate why I made a certain decision in support of that strategy. For instance, why I might decide to invade when I get Horsemen, instead of waiting to upgrade to Swordsmen.
I think this may be what ControlFreak is getting at when he points out the things that the utility program won't be able to do. His post made me realize that I don't want a lot of data and statistics. I want to know what you are thinking and why you made a certain decision. If your decision peaks my interest I may take a look at your game to see how your decision made out compared to mine.
