It's not fool-proof, but it sets up the expectation that (in our case) Wednesdays evenings are for gaming.As an example of the opposite, I sometimes play with some other friends from the old gaming club I was in in the 90s. We play on weekends, and in a more ad-hoc fashion. Two of the players collaborate on setting up dates for a couple of months in advance, about once a month, and then check if the rest of us can play. But even with months of advance notice, some players still flake out – today, for example, we were only 5 out of 7.Of course, there are other things being different. Most of the people in this group have older kids, and that often brings weekend obligations. And I would assume that there is a certain amount of survivorship bias in the first group – those who couldn't commit to mostly weekly playing on account of work and/or family aren't there anymore. But still the difference is clear as day.</blockquote>
