[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3052870, member: 4134"] Now you cite reasons. Before, it sounded like "I'm not in the mood so I just stay away." We usually play at weekends, so the "bad day at work" doesn't apply. Plus, we often had groups where a single player not attending would mean the whole session was cancelled. Often it would be cancelled because of one player, and often the reasons weren't a lot less dramatic than what you cited. Of course: We don't force someone to play if he's bleeding and needs to be rushed to the hospital. But not attending for no reason at all (or for ridiculous reasons like "I'd rather watch this DVD I bought") is not the way to treat others. I have to agree with you here: not tolerating any absence for any reason at all isn't right. Note that the "no way in all the hells" (mine) was aimed at not attending because you'd rather go swimming. The NEVER good enough (from the thread starter) was aimed at not attending but telling noone. Unless you lie unconscious in a ditch or are 50 km away from the next phone (which, I think, is physically impossible around here, and I guess it's not that much different in most parts of the US), not coming at all and not telling anyone really is never enough. As someone else said: There's phones, payphones, mobile phones, other people's phones, email, SMS, and shouting very loudly. It's hard not to reach anyone unless you refuse to put any effort in it.
