[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 6753992, member: 13703"] I disagree with that. I think that if you all agree to game at a certain time you should arrive ready to game by that time (within reason, I'm not advocating going off at someone for being 5-10 minutes late). If you're going to be late you should be calling or texting to let everyone know when you expect to arrive so they can either get underway or at least know how far away you are. Gaming shouldn't be any different from any other social gathering. Obviously some groups will have a harder or softer start time than others. Some groups may have a "start" time of 2pm, but really gaming doesn't really start until 3pm, so everyone arrives sometime between 2pm and 3pm. Other groups may start at 4pm sharp and if you're not there by the start time then too bad. My group plays fortnightly on Wednesday nights. The start time has varied a little from week to week, but everyone generally arrives about 6pm - 6:15pm. Sometimes people will be late, but everyone generally lets someone else in the group know if that's going to be the case. There have been times where players have been late 30 minutes or more, but in those rare instances the player has contacted the group to let them know not to wait for them to start. [/QUOTE]
