Going back to that convo: The one thing that really sticks out in my mind is that Shaggy is NOT allowed to take a week off. Sorry, any game I play where I CANNOT attend to family matters or whatever (whatever that whatever might be), would really Bite the Big One. In other words, NOT A GAME BUT A BALL AND CHAIN. From the standpoint of Duke or Peon. I don't do TW from work (I can't); I don't do TW on vacation (nearly got disowned when the family thought I should be doing dinner instead of defending, and I wised up.) The other irritating thing is that you blow off not asking permission to post the stuff Marcus sent you. Whether he ended up not minding or not is incidental.
Perhaps decisions should have been made differently but you don't really make a good case for yourself.
