BULL!
Not that I don't appreciate her GM'ing, I certainly do, but the rules were made perfectly
clear. You mean to tell me that if one of us had "a variety of reasons" we would be granted
a delay? I don't think so.

Either we are playing no delays or extensions, or we are not. When I GM a game I hold myself
to the same standard I expect from the players.

All that being said, I do appreciate the notice that there will be a delay.

And, yes, I expect to be beset by players thinking I'm an ass. Been there, done that.

Word of advice: When someone is volunteering their time so that you can play a really fun game, don't criticize how they do it.

So "There will be NO delays or extensions" is just a crock?

Or perhaps it only applies to the players? This is why absolutes
are so dangerous.

GM credibility just dropped 2 points.
