[QUOTE="La Bete, post: 673062, member: 6079"] Ok I'll bite again. This is pretty close to my view. As far as I can tell, most reasonable people adapt their behaviour to the people around them. Pielorinho, SHARK, et. al, your points are valid. If I was a player in your game (somewhat geographically difficult), knowing that a lot of work was put into them, and that you expected to get as much notice as possible if I had to skip a game, [B]of course[/B] I would make a great effort to get to the game. On the other hand, if I had been at a couple of sessions of your game when other players had not turned up, and the GM just shrugged and said "I dunno where they are, lets carry on - roll for initiative Mr Meat-snack", I would get the impression that if I called ahead the night before and said something like "Sorry, I cant make the game tomorrow, is that OK?", that would be being fairly courteous and respectful. Disclaimer: Naturally, DC has been a little biased (OK a lot), so of course we dont know the whole story. Maybe the GM just thinks that DC is the disease, and he's the cure. And DC's writing style doesnt exactly lend toward sympathy. [/QUOTE]
