other people can be annoying

melcharIf anything eventually burns me out on gaming it WILL be the players, never the game. I've been refereeing since 1973 and the dawn of time [for rpgs] and mostly ref'd at least once a week during all that time. That's a ton of gaming.
Right now I'm doing one 2nd ed AD&D game on Saturdays [where my player complain bitterly about NOT gaming because of FC staff meetings] and an Agris game [home-made rpg that's about 20 years old now] - ref'd about twice a month on Sundays. Then I ref 12 games over the 'net [text/response] at boojum's Warren site.
So now one of the Sunday players is bitching at me - in 7 freaking emails the last 2 days! - about how I'm ruining his gaming life because I have a class I want to go to next Sunday & have a Baycon staff meeting the Sunday after that. So why can't I ref a game the Sunday thereafter? Because THAT one player can't make the game, so I'll inconvenience the -other- 5 players JUST for him. Do I get any credit for that? Nope. I just get complaints. (sighs) Some days it's just not worth reading my inbox.
