Maybe an 11th person could act as an impartial observer and collect everyones daily summary in 1 thread? We could just PM it to them and they could post them all in a somewhat ordered arrangement. It's not that I think it's necessary, but it would be nicer to look at, and then there would only be one thread I have to avoid reading for 2 weeks.

Good idea. For the forum regulars game, Stefan helped compile all the different players' posts together into one index.
I rather like having a different thread for each player though, so the comments are more easily distinguished.

I like this thought. Everyone writing the posts would probably have to put the time that they were talking about on thier posts so the observer so he can compile them chronologically.

Example
Panda secret 1 day and 2 hours: stuff

I do think that our posts would be distinguished enough as long as each player wrote them and each player was not anonymous. One question though. Would the observer post a delayed post or would he post all of them at the end of the game. Also what about screenshots? Can they be PM?

I was thinking we'd all PM the Collector our daily journal, and he can post them maybe a day late, so that there is time to get everyones organized. Everyone in the game should agree not to read that thread until the game is over. Seeing as this is an experimental game, we're really testing how the lack of private chat affects the game, so maybe the Collector could post their own observations about everything everyone else has said as well? Like a commentator? I don't know if we should post screen shots even, they kind of mess up the forum. You can probably PM them, but if we get 10 screenshots a day it's going to look unorganized. I personally liked Pandasecret's jot-note style of writing, but to each their own. I suppose we should see if there is someone that is even willing to act as a Collector, before we hash out how everyone will interact with them.
