If everyone had to do that to get a pickup game going, there would be alot less pick up basketball. |
This happens in real life hobbies too, especially ones where certain skills or gear is required and goals are ambiguous as is often the case in casual guilds. For example, my casual band! Our lead guitarist is frustrated with the lack of practice of the rhythm guitarist and drummer, and seems to want to be more hardcore and possibly replace one of them even though they are his longtime friends. We are inconsistent with songs from week to week and have to call off practices sometimes due to life issues. Having less than a year of experience under my belt, I'm just happy to be playing with other people so I don't care, but every time we call a practice session I think about posting on Craigslist so I can play more.
So many things I see in there that happen in casual guilds too.
