[QUOTE="chachi, post: 4357237, member: 29483"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=white]When our group started our previous game, the Inzeladun game, there was some talk, and even some polling, about what type of game that the group wanted to play. I specifically withheld my opinion from that discussion because I knew then that I wouldn’t make every game. I said as much, and lo and behold, I did not attend every game. I was never told that this was unacceptable, and felt like I was a welcome part of the group. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=white] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=white]As the game (and group) disintegrated, a lot of the blame was thrown at the players, and specifically the players that were not attending every session. I didn’t respond to any of that because I didn’t have anything constructive to say, and I like you guys. But those statements are still there, and they still upset me.

Vince, you are completely welcome to that opinion. Running any game requires some serious time and effort, and you’re justifiably upset when the players don’t reciprocate that effort. And if I had known that, I would have saved you the frustration and declined to play because I knew then that I wouldn’t always come. But now I do know. I know that those are your feelings, and I know that I still won’t always attend. If anything, it will likely be worse. With a baby and a different job requiring more of my energy on top of the bees and friends and families and other chores, it’s tough. (The bees look good this year.
