Message: <blockquote data-quote="Funeris" data-source="post: 2738849" data-attributes="member: 22792">I've never been axed...but I have held the axe (and recently to boot).  Two of my players...boyfriend and girlfriend...had to be cut for the campaign to survive.This is how it went down:  We had a game day in early October and all was well.  Now, we use a yahoo group page to organize our game days and to say "No we can't make it such and such day".  All of my players had filled out the Calendar for the remainder of the year...with the knowledge that if something changes for a specific month, they go and inform the group.I set up a game day for last friday and send out an email/reminder about it.  The two players replied with, "uh...we're having a party.  Can't we reschedule."  I checked the calendar...the day I had called as a game day had no notes about people not being able to make it.  In fact, it was the only day in November or December that was available.  And suddenly it wasn't available.Needless to say, there was a bit of a spat between myself and these two players.  So, I axed them.  Removed them from the group page.  Now my group is not confined to only one possible day of the week...which is always invariably bad for the two people that claimed they could play that night.  My group has met this month.  We have a game day scheduled for next month.  No more going 2 or 3 months between sessions...no more forgetting what's happening...and probably, we'll meet regularly now (once every two weeks) once holidays are over.  I can say with some certainty...that in my case the axe was needed.  (Now all we have to do is find an additional player--although I'm sure they'll manage in the mean time <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )~Fune</blockquote>
