I am gonna use a basic subset of the skillbased Call of Cthulhu for this one, along with Murometz excellent Fate Points, used in exactly the same way as he uses them in Isle of Woe.
Meaning: You get
Fate Points (FP) based on your PbP performance. You all start with 1 FP, and these FP can be traded in for a... SKILL INCREASE or a re-roll. Any re-roll.
A
Skill increase adds 1d10+4 points to your skill. Each skill runs from 0 (guaranteed failure) to 120 (Perfect).
Example:
The chance of success is based on a 1d100 roll, and the PC needs to get below his/hers skill to succeed. Meaning a Soldier with 25 skill points in small guns needs to roll a 25 or less to hit something.
Based on difficulty, a skill check can be improved or decreased. For instance, if the PC tries to shoot a glass flask from the head of villagers some 600 feet away, the GM probably will introduce a hefty decrease. Perhaps -20, leaving a 5% chance of success. On the other hand, if the PC snuck up on a raider and slowly trains his gun on the unsuspecting raider's back, the chance of success might be improved, say 20%, leaving a 45% chance of success.

Example:
EchoMirage decides to spend 20 points on Small Guns. The Base for small guns is 20, so the final skill will be 40. Echo's character will now have 40 Small Gun skill, meaning he has to roll below 40 to hit something with his 38 caliber Colt. EchoMirage still has 80 points to spend on his character.
