This forum doesn't support gdocs anymore.
And if people would go to gdoc to play it than it would be Google game not Toribash forum game.

What to speed up? It is a forum game after all... And since this card game is x10 complex then the TTCG, calculating which card won over the other one has many variables, and how to calculate it depends of cards abilities and when one card is played before another (sequence), so making it in gdoc would be just as hard as programming the engine for the game itself.

This is not TTCG, snake.

Map updates are much more easier through dropbox, since image is already set on cloud, so update is like: move some layer, hide some layer, save image, finish.

Game will not use gdocs and no one will have to follow some external links to follow what is going on.

You come to the forum, see what is posted, reply, and you are done. That is how this will work. You're forgetting that to use gdoc two people must be online in the same time to use it (if its used to calculate things and moves during a card match), which again brings that GMT problem. Also people has to deal with permissions, to learn to use that gdoc file, etc... Too complex for them.
This way, game is GMT free, and all you do is - you post something and wait for reply. As I said, you play it when you can and as you wish.

Card duels will be done in separated threads.

Thread will be opened with header like: [Card Duel - Snake vs William]
Inside the thread you will play your card match as it is explained. When both of you post your cards, I will calculate which card has won and post that. (you can do it yourself just by looking at cards characteristics and writings and consulting rules, but only I can post the resolve for it to be valid)
Then you play next cards, and so on, and so on, until someone wins or all cards are used in finishing turn.

Then we scrap that thread, and return to main thread with the map, where you continue your journey and quests.
