Complications Organising Boss Runs

I know RL gets in the way sometimes but if I don't have whatever is needed to fight the boss at least 20 minutes before the run time, I usually don't go.

If you don't have merits, bucks, etc. and the run time rolls around, you don't go... Right? It's what makes sense to me. You show up raring to go at the next run! I mean if I didn't get them before the run I wouldn't expect everyone to wait around until I was ready. I've seen and heard of this happening way too many times, and feel like it's a big part of why we wait so long to load sometimes.

Actually Amy, dont tell anyone, but that 15 minutes is how long I need to correctly count how many toons are in the pit lately.. rofl I can't hide behind late toons anymore...oof! Seriously though,

Not waiting is definately another option. I'm relatively new here, and I thought this was just a friendly thing that we've done. When the group was small..waiting on one person for 2 to 3 minutes is a lot different than waiting on 4 or 5 for 20 minutes, I can see that. So maybe waiting should be stopped altogether. Thoughts?

I like the idea of setting a limit on the wait - 10 minutes seems fair. I also try to get there early.

We could always do what I do with my chronically late friends... tell them the event is happening 15 minutes later than it actually is - they when they come late like always, they are actually on time! LOL! j/k!

I wanted to let everybody know that on the earlier boss runs today for CFO and VP we were in the vators within 10 minutes of start time...Woo Hoo...So it can be done. We did not have a whole lot of people today at either run but it worked out. Job well done on getting in there!

And on a side note, thank you to those that did a revenge VP run for my uber Monkie N. Middle. You Rock!!
