(Lateness is just rude and sucky and you should slap them.)It could be that the schedule of the game just isn't right for the group. Perhaps every Saturday night is fine for me (I, um, am social-life-challenged) but not for the guys who go out on dates regularly. Or half the group is in a demanding program and can really only show biweekly.In that case, sit down and figure out what a more reasonable schedule would be, and then expect people to hew to it. If they tell you every other Friday is fine and then only show up half the time, kick them out.It could be that your players are just twits,  who don't really care about being late or finding something else to do. Some people really don't grok the concept of "making a commitment to a social event"--in which case, kick them out and/or do bad things to their PCs.</blockquote>
