[QUOTE="Mark, post: 658286, member: 5"] [b]I'd rather not allow for people to switch from game to game.[/b] It really screwed up the schedule (for almost all of the DMs and players, in one way or another) last time around. In fact, the reason you claimed to be tentative was due to ETA. I would not have placed you in a seat, on the schedule, if it had been due to game shopping. [b]I would rather not have to make a hard and fast policy.[/b] What we do is suppossed to be just a bunch of gamers, getting together as friends, while understanding and respecting that the people who run the games have to be able to put the games together with some notion that the player side of the equation will be stable. Switching games screws that up for everyone. It caused tons of problems last gameday so I implore everyone to not commit to a seat if you cannot stick with your choices. The unfortunate flip side to that is that if all of the players wait until the last minute, some DMs might withdraw their games and possibly not even show up. So, please choose your games as early as you can and please stick with the choices that you make. It's a small price to ask for a day of free gaming, some nice prizes and very little stress for anyone if we can just eliminate this switching-around-games bug that seems to be the biggest single problem we experince at these things. Other thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
