Who Eats The Default?

[Cindysphinx]

Cindy and top, i love you girls! Reviewing this thread and reading everyone's opinions and reactions is like being in a big litter of puppies and enjoying the rolling around and play fighting. I'm smiling from ear to ear right now. It even made my knees feel better!

Well then, this thread has served its purpose.

My work here is finished.

No, I don't necessarily think you should eat the fees, and certainly not all of them.

There is no doubt Peggy owes $34.

The other $34 is between you and Susan. Most likely Susan feels like an idiot and will assume responsibility for it.

But: She can also make a reasonable argument that she is not responsible for the default since she would have made it on time (assuming she feels that she would have), and thus been able to play doubles as scheduled, had you not intervened. Under this logic, since the unneccessary intervention was yours, the financial consequences are yours too.

Moreover, she can try to argue that it was her call to make and not yours (although I no longer think this is a valid argument based on your description of the dynamic between you and your teammates).

Anyone who would dare make such an argument is of poor character. Seriously.

I asked Susan point blank: "Are you going to make it?" Her answer was, "I don't know. I will try."

Susan created this problem by getting confused and by not allowing enough time to make the trip. Then she called me to get help. If she later tried to claim *I* caused a default because of a mess *she* created . . . .

I swear, what's wrong with people these days? No one will take responsibility for anything.

The scary thing is that there must be people in the world who think this way. Orangepower is one, so that is proof that they exist.

I think I may start having my players sign written contracts and post bonds before they can play on my teams.

Au contraire, mon cheri. I've already expained to you how you were the instrument that took responsibility *away* from Susan. How ironic that you would wrest her authority from her and then bemoan her for not taking responsibility!

But at least we can agree on the dearth of personal responsibility these days.

I think Cindy, Susan and Peggy should have a mud wrestling contest to figure out who should pay.

Only problem with that idea is, ticket sales wouldn't cover the cost of the default. That's a lock...

exactly my point - who would pay to see that? We're talking the cheapest, most desperate porn site on earth.
