mp etiquette ?

Another thing that you might wish to seriously consider avoiding, unlike CERTAIN PEOPLE who will GO UNMENTIONED *cough*cough*, is to actually READ the terms of the game you are committing to, and avoid STALLING THE GAME by WALKING OFF for COMPLETELY BOGUS reasons.

It's ONE thing to have a pressing personal matter to attend to that has suddenly come up. Everyone's dog dies every now and then, but it's another thing entirely to suddenly declare you are calling it a night two hours into the start of what was declared to be a 5 hour game in advance, and then HAVE THE GALL TO SHOW YOUR FACE ON THE FORUM A HALF HOUR LATER, proving conclusively that whatever reason you had for stopping and HOLDING UP THE ENTIRE GAME was a COMPLETE SHAM.

Indeed. He was venting to me in PM and I suggested he calm himself by sharing his frustration in this appropriate venue.

I don't want to make you feel singled out, but most dogs only manage to die once.

If you've seen the film "Pet cemetary", you should understand my concern.

Norfleet, I feel your pain, but I fear there is no solution to players going AWOL. The best you can do is start your own black list and never let these disruptive players into your games once they are found out.

I just don't get what motivates it. If *I* disappear from a game, you're going to find me again later complaining about a crappy ISP, or read about it in my obituary.
