The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Theory and jargon are useful from an academic sense, and potentially from a game design perspective as well. On the front end, however, it's not particularly useful at all.

Gotta complain twice about this. Last night was my Traveller game. The previous session one gamer who lives in Eastern Time zone (Canada) asked to shift the start time down. We agreed and then next session they showed up late because they forgot about it. Rest of us were all on board and on time here in the central time zone (U.S.)

It might be that I don't view gaming as a problem, and just like to roll dice, and scribble on paper; very much a tactile pleasure. As long as the rules aren't too convoluted, I am good to go.

Sorry to read it, payn.

We've had stuff like that happen, too, but players are pretty consistent about announcing in advance whether they'll make it on time or not that night. Chalk it up to, "We all space out and forget things occasionally," and have the perp fail his/her next skill check.

It was an honest mistake and we did have a good session anyhow. I just got worried because this is a pretty dedicated player who is very punctual usually.

Oh, okay--so this was an honest error from someone who's pretty reliable. Then I wouldn't even mess with 'em next session; I'd just chalk it up to, "Hey, we're human."

Afterwards it was a bit of a relief. It was just interesting since they requested the change and were the only one to forget about it.

Time is an illusion created by people that don't understand that I don't care if I'm late.

Time is an illusion

lunch time doubly so

Does anyone else get the feeling that there's been a big "like" inflation over the past few years?

I'm not complaining, I enjoy the positive feedback when I get it. But I'm also realizing that what I used to think what a lot of likes is, well, not so much nowadays. And some of these really long threads seem to have soooo much liking going on.
