[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3057438, member: 4134"] Not in mine. Not always. Not nearly always. There are excuses that work (not enough quality time lately, this is the only chance, or so on), but just going out and forcing 5 other people to play another day because you're not willing to have a date another day (something that involves you and that other person) is rude. How much does hair grow in a 24-hour period? If it's so important, I'm sure you plan this ahead. And if you do, you can plan ahead so you don't miss other scheduled events because of this. Yes. That's the whole point. Well, most of the point: How often it happens, how far in advance he tells the others, and what the reasons are. I can accept the occasional "dude, I'm burned out right now, I'll not be here next week". If it happens once a month, I'll ask him to go - it seems he doesn't enjoy playing, and others would like to play but there's no space for them. If he tells me 5 minutes before the game (or not at all), he'll get the Yellow Card. I'll always understand emergencies - and depending on the urgency, I'll understand that he couldn't call us (if you have to rush after the ambulance where your wive is in, you don't call your buddies because of the game - or football match or whatever). But if it's a last minute thing and it screws up the game, and it's not that compelling a reason, there will be Righteous Wrath. [/QUOTE]
