This Troper walks into her game group meeting and issues this speech: "Since you decided to schedule a big Warhammer40000 game without my input, it is my sworn duty to arrive horrendously late and chew you out on it. Don't plan stuff without hearing my input! If I don't communicate it means I can't, so if I don't communicate, assume that I have no idea what's going on. Also don't assume that just because YOU go to a school that doesn't give homework beyond 'understand this by next week' that everyone else does, because I don't and I have like three projects right now. So next time I don't communicate, don't be declaring teams and scheduling an all-day game!" *holds up HowNOTToWriteANovel* "And by the way, you should totally read this."
