"We don't have time," they say. "We're to busy doing what we want to do. Our fun comes first." On and on it goes like this for months with the same lines, putting themselves first instead. "Don't blame us," they say. "Its not our fault the apartments are full. Its not our fault that we would rather spend our time on ourselves."

*kicks his soapbox back over and climbs up.
To be fair, yes, yes my enjoyment of the game does come first. Â That's more or less as it should be. Â This is 'entertainment'. Â A 'game'. Â A 'hobby'. Â Something I pay money to enjoy.
To be exact my 'enjoyment priorities' are:
- my family
- my friends
- my community
- mine
- Everyone else
This is more or less how I -except- everyone else's to be. Â If you need me to explain why this hierarchy is important, I'll be more then happy to go through at length back channel.
To expect people to altruistically bail on family, friends, and community is laughable.
Do you bail on your friends and family to just randomly go say "Hay, I'm moving to (insert other dis-paring city of choice) because said city needs some quality people?" Â
Ye gods.... we're already pointing people in your direction. Â Some are even running events for you. (*waves to Leggerless* Â He's running a grindstone over there.) Advice on how to make things stick. Â Advertising for you. Â
If this level of entitlement where the norm, (which thankfully it's not) I'd just distance myself from it and start warning people away.
Edit, since I got distracted by Nefzen: One of the big reasons we're not all over there setting things up for you beyond giving advice, is your community needs to learn to walk before it can run. In fact it needs to learn to stand on it's own two legs. We -can't- do that for you, because when we go back, we -won't- be there.
PS: Nefzen wants me to link this in case you need more tips and tricks for setting up an event:
