Okay, first of all, this was a first outing and the first game. Only realistic there would be slip ups. You have to realize that while the idea is good it involves juggling three time schedules for three people, quite possibly in 3 different time zones. It's hard, and considering this is the first time we did it, getting it done on the first day worked out pretty damn well if you ask me. And, the guy did get held up, it's real life, you can't trump that for MK. He was going to be there, something happened within circumstances that needed to be attended and he couldn't make it. It's a reasonable explanation and something that you can perhaps excuse poor planning.
This wasn't exactly raging or anything because hey, I don't like when stuff is disorganized too, you have to give it a little bit more patience man. I mean, we are not only balancing the two combatants here, but also the recorder, which can be tricky. What I would suggest is before making cards, contacting the people on said cards, asking for their schedules for the next week, time zones, etc so you don't put a card together that has no chance in hell of being played. Then throw the time up there and see if you can get a recorder for that time.
Like I said man, from what I've read is that circumstances for the schedule drop were fairly reasonable and valid. If that's all it takes you to quit, well, hopefully you'll come back at some point because this had nothing to do with organization, you guys had the time organized, this was "EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES" and you can't exactly blame Take2, his idea, or anyone for this.
