I know a lot of hosts that spread regular games have more than enough to deal with and leadership at GFC is no exception. With this game being a weekly I sometimes tamp down one pseudo-situation in the nick of time to address yet another.
On this weeks menu is the delicious offering we like to call Flu Stew; navigating the need to keep our games safe from infectious disease (it sounds so lethal right?)
Being in throes of cold and flu season, understanding the wild card that is the allergies, and having to appreciate everyone’s honesty and ability to gauge their health and give space for other people’s feelings is a tall order even for the best hosts.
We’ve had players attend who were admittedly “recovering” from some sort of illness (which is not “not sick”) have sick households or workplaces, and despite the innocuous hints and reminders, go as far as to cough in the open and ignore any and all of the 8 vessels of antiseptic hand sanitizer dispatched in the James Dean Lounge and playing area.
In the interest of not being overreactive (it’s not like a paired board for crying out loud) but exercising due diligence, GFC issued yet another memo.
For your consideration.
It was met with resounding appreciation and the only individual that more deeply questioned it was one of the few that seemingly is flouting common courtesy and wants to get their poker on irrespective of their immediate health. Shame…
That’s it for now PCF. Keep yourselves and your games safe and prospering. And hosts, don’t hold back on towing the line on this or any other matter. If someone questions an obviously common sense or consensus driven idea or decision and wants to boycott the game do them and your game a favor and remove them from the list.
Carry on.
