Sometimes the person was not your model of a good player, but most of the time, they were. We had more jerks with cars than without, more adult than minor ones.About things you say people without cars are:1) be unreliable: Can be, if he is dependant on people driving him, or if the bus schedule is tight. Otherwise, persons with cars can be just as unreliable2) need rides from other players: Not exactly that bad a thing, I'd say, as long as it's not too far off the way of said players and he's not ungrateful about it (had that once. He not even asked to be driven home, he just stated that he had to get back, it was 10km per way, and he'd never say "thank you")3) be facing economic challenges: So we're discriminating against the poor now?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Why? So he can't afford to buy 3 books a month or 2 new dice sets a month. Not a problem - DMs like players that don't have libraries and come up with obscure stuff they themselves can't check, and people with too many dice are lunatics. I know what I'm talking about: I have 800 or so dice and I'm quite unconfortable when I'm in the same room as me!4) not hold a steady job: Same as 3. I have no problem playing with unemployed people. I was that player on occasion. In fact, those guys have so much time, there aren't any problem when it comes to agree on a gaming date5) have less education: Drivers' education?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  Again, I have no problem when someone's "stupid" (to exaggerate here), as long as they're decent people. Some are redneck poster children, but then again, some poeple with education are pretentious, arrogant a-holes.6) be unable to make a pizza run: They don't deliver where you live? I live in a village of less than 800 souls, and I can afford to snub places after one bad delivery because there's almost a dozen choices around here.7) have poor social skills: Okay, you have to explain that one to me. Do you mean that they don't have a car because they can't even have a conversation long enough to buy one?  <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=";)" />  Reminds me of the guy who wants to buy a Lamborghini, but can't pronounce it and ends up with a dodge.8) have to walk a long ways to reach the game (and then complain about it): They should be used to walking, shouldn't they? If not, let them complain about it for a minute or two. If they take more time complaining about it, them not having a car is the least of your problems.</blockquote>
