[QUOTE="Kheti sa-Menik, post: 3126076, member: 22721"] I don't think the issue at hand that the OP wanted to discuss was his anger at this guy who blew him off. I think it is the OP's wonder at someone who makes a committment to be somewhere and then with nary a call or email, ditches those who did make an effort to attend. I feel the same way. In the games I play and run, we meet same time, same place every week. I seriously doubt someone would forget about it. If I'm not going to make a game, I do everything and anything possible to alert my fellows. They respect me as a person, I respect them as people. I respect the time they devote to game every week and vice versa. Common courtesy dictates that when you make a committment, you stick to it; if you can't then you let the other person or persons know. I live in western NY State. As anyone who has seen the national news recently knows, we got hit by a major winter storm Thursday night/Friday morning. Hundreds stranded on highways, trees down with damage to thousands of homes, more than 200,000 people without electricity or water and some don't expect to get it back until next weekend; the place has been declared a state disaster area and we're getting FEMA aid. But still, our game was on Monday evening and everyone in my group made an effort to contact someone else to find out if we were still playing or to let them know we couldn't make it. Courtesy and respect. It's what it is about. [/QUOTE]
