Ergo, if someone wants to play pinball after they’re done playing league, they are perfectly welcome to do so. Consideration would be nice in the simple form of asking remaining groups what games they have left and maybe avoiding those.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I agree with you about casual play; league doesn't have precedence over that.
