[QUOTE="Vinciente, post: 5136200, member: 87035"] I had made contact expressing my interest/willingness to run one of the tables, and even submitted the application. Prior to submitting my application, I had explained in detail about things on my end that would have effect on being able to provide my services as a DM. I explained plainly that we have an infant & only 1 car, and that my spouse needed to know for fact what days I would be running tables 3+ weeks in advance in order to get the schedule to accommodate such. When I went over these things with the Organizer for the event it was almost 2months prior to the event. I submitted my application only days after the last contact regarding what would affect being able to run tables. It wasn't until less than 2 weeks before the event that I finally received the next contact from the Organizer, who then made it sound like I was screwing him over because I posted on the DND forums that I wouldn't be able to run a table due to his lack of getting back to me acknowledging his understanding of the situation within a reasonable time table. So, for all of you who have friends that missed out on participating due to "not enough DMs"...PLEASE take time to find out the contact info for the Event Organizers & tell them they need to get off their asses & actually organize the DMs as soon as they get them & not put the DMs on the back-burner.
