Well, one idea that wouldn't really do away with the problem, but would 
give people some choice, is making the islands change turn at different 
times. Say East Island turn change is at 17:00, Atamara at 18:00, 
Beluaterra at 19:00 and so on. It would give some room for people to 
choose an island that suits their timetable the best. Though it would 
probably slow down the server a bit more oftent.

Other than that, every time I've seen someone get reprimended for not 
following orders(which in itself is not a bad thing!) and they've 
defended with an OOC message saying "Sorry, but I have a real life and 
missed the order due to that" the issue has been dropped right there and 
then. No punishment and in the future the general knows to take it into 
account that his character might miss half-turns sometimes. So usually 
it's just a matter of those in power not yet knowing wether that player 
has a turn change happen at bad time for him or wether he just willingly 
chose to ignore the order.
