[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5455690, member: 6667746"] But, but, but...you are supposed to bribe the DM with food, as the other thread on the very subject of bribing the DM, has shown.....So then why is the DM bribing the players with food? There is no bribes that way! On the latenes thing and the initial quote, it deals with a level of respect. Some are taught one way, while others are taught others. Those being taught it is respectful to be on time, will fell like they are not being given respect by those that may have been taught differently, even if unintended. Me it would tick off for people to always be late, and I wouldn't bribe them. If constant, I would go out to eat and lock my house and let them wonder for a change where I was at. In 6 weeks time something could come up, but you have 6 weeks to work around schedules to be ready that day to get things going or at least make a phone call to say you are running late. The communication problem presented with the emails, means the players seem to not really care. I would feel the lack of respect like the OP does since they make no effort to communicate that they may be late and make people sit around clock-watching and THEN not even be prepared after having had 6 weeks when they finally arrive late.
