You guys have an updated time for a meeting..?As for people that leave on vacation - have fun!
People that 'skip' out of duels for leveling purposes..? That's poor ethics, in my personal opinion, atleast you are in front of your computer as opposed to those who are not physically there, like a vacation, hospital visit or a funeral. A topic like this can easily manifest into a 'spiltting hairs contest' with an endless debate. Afterall, it's just a game - if your 'skipping' out to do a level job, atleast find the time within 3 days to complete a duel. I had guber bots, back in the day and still found time to atleast be professional; or I would remove myself and rejoin at a later date. I've had a hatrick with this ladder and found it entertaining sometimes to mix it up in climbing it.
Overall its 'treat others the way you want to be treated and have fun'!
Good hunting
