[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7387090, member: 6919838"] Sometime me and my friends get together to play munchkin. We dont consider who should start at level 1 and who should start at level 2 or 3 based on previous absences. Sometimes we get tigether to play poker. We dont decide who gets two hole cards and who gets one based on recent attendance. Sometimes we get together for movies. We dont decide who can stay and watch the full film and who has to leave 15m before the end based on recent experience. Sometimes we get together and play rpgs. Care to guess whether we see it as right to decide who plays at what level based on attendance? In none of those other activities do we see dividing into haves and have lesses based on attendance as a plus. In none of those activities do we see "if you show up this week, we will give you more than others for next week" as a needed or helpful "incentive" or "punishment." Now of course, some might say its not a big thing, hardly a thing at all, to be a level down or up... But then that undercuts the whole incentive thing. If it helps tour activities - great. But for some/many it doesnt. [/QUOTE]
