[QUOTE="ezo, post: 9293890, member: 7037866"] For people whose more "constant" attention to their phone for non-game reasons is a regular part of their lives (I've never met one or had someone with that much demand on their phone play), any form of regular interruption to the game to the detriment of the groups' fun would result in them not playing, and likely not even attending the sessions if it is that disruptive. If, somehow, they could manage their phone use without causing disruptions to the game (hard to imagine, but I won't deny the possibility), it would be fine. 90% of the time, players with cell phone in the game fall into the non-game use at some point or another, and need to be reminded of our table rules. On a personal note, as I posted earlier, I despise cell phones--but that doesn't mean I despise people who use them. I'll spare you my "cell phone rant." :) Understood, and no snark detected. Well, maybe a little in some earlier resposnes. ;) But nothing for you to concern yourself with at all. I generally respond in kind, but when posters react without understanding, I can often become defensive, personally. And IME, people (including myself, although I try to avoid it), jump in with a lot of assumptions. [/QUOTE]
