[QUOTE="Wasteland Knight, post: 3057273, member: 1253"] But gaming isn't a one-time event, like seeing a movie or going to a game, it's an ongoing, regular commitment. At some point, other things in life are going to intersect with the scheduled game day. I think it shows a lack of respect only if it happens constantly and especially if no notice is given. If a player shows up the vast majority of the time then they deserve the respect of being able to occasionally place something else in life before a game without being viewed as having done something wrong. Doesn't this contradict what you said in the quote above? On one hand you say it's an issue of respect, and I agree completely. Not giving notice you'll be absent is very rude. But then you say "...when everyone agrees to do something a certian night, whatever it may be, with their friends and then does not follow through on that agreement it shows a lack of respect...", with which I don't agree. So which is it? If a player calls/emails in advance and says "Sorry man, I just can't make it to the next game. I'll see you the game after next.", assuming this isn't happening every other week, is this player being disrespectful? In my view, not at all. [/QUOTE]
