Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 5543315" data-attributes="member: 2525">I agree with Bagpuss on this one.Frankly it does not sound like you want players as flexible as you.  Because that would mean any day they don't feel like playing your game (for whatever reason), you'd be fine rescheduling for another day. You've already made it pretty clear though that you're not happy if a player says they don't want to play on a particular day because they are playing in another game - and you don't want to reschedule when they say that.No, what you seem to want is players who are willing to conform to when you want to GM.  That's what you seem to have meant by "flexibility".That's not flexibility.  In fact it's incredibly inflexible.  Flexibility would run both ways.  You want to dictate to everyone what days YOU want to play, and you want them to say yes to any day you demand, and you will not offer them the same courtesy when they ask for the same "flexibility" from you so they can play another game.And I am offering you genuine advice and observation here.  But I feel fairly certain, given your responses thus far in this thread, that you will disagree rather than listen, and react defensively rather than actually thinking about it.  Because it sure doesn't look t me like you wanted advice in this thread or genuine self-analysis - you wanted to complain and get sympathy.  OK then, but you probably should have said that instead of asking for advice.  You're the one being inflexible, and it's no coincidence that so many people have said that to you here (and you have laughed about it rather than really considering the possibility that it's true).</blockquote>
