lackey seems quite shaky at the moment, but it always has been in general, so its wise to get the games in early and not on the last minute. (if possible)
you think?
sure, all of us try. but some of us still have a job and/or other responsibilities during certain time frames, and there's the different time zones, and some people want to spend some time with their family during the weekend.
so if a planned game breaks down, this is what you get, it seems.
everybody tries to be majorly flexible -- within their own borders.
also, starting pairing at the beginning of the week creates situation where the most comfortable window for most is at the end of the round. so for the off chance that people can be flexible during weekdays but only prefer to do so AFTER a botched game, there's no chance to do so within the round. this might be good to think about for future (or current) events.
(OTOH, pairing at end of week would force us to really communicate quickly to set up meetings for the weekend, and people also might have other plans already. dilemma.)
if problems with lackey persist (or get worse), eventually, it might be better to structurally have 2 weekends to play games.
