One of them really isn't, but they still want to do things with the group. To be a little fair it was 3ish hours into session 0 where part of it was teaching people how to use the community sheet on Roll20. It probably wouldn't have been an issue if the first 2 had moved to a different discord channel when they started playing WoW. unfortunately they didn't, and for that I blame CosmoI blame Cosmo that my players started playing WoW during session 0 after two people finished their character sheets. Leading to some people not finishing their character sheets and me not getting any backstory from anyone but the two who finished first.Sounds like quite a few of your players aren't that interested in playing in the first place.
I blame Cosmo for fujisempai not mentioning Discord earlier.

Neither of those things were true.

On December 19th my car was t-boned in an intersection. I'm convinced Cosmo had a hand in this somehow, but I'm not going to lay direct blame at his feet for something like that.
However.
The body shop still has my car.
First they said it was being delayed by parts coming from Germany.
Then they said it was delayed by specialty tools that were being shipped from Germany.
Cosmo, will you please stop screwing around and let them fix my car? It's just a freakin' VW Golf!

I blame Cosmo that I screwed up placing a website order, and now one of the two items was processed as in-store pickup instead of home delivery... which defeats the whole Cos' damned purpose of ordering it online. Worse, since instead of just picking it up and checking out through a register, now I have to go to the front desk in store and interact with the human at the counter. Anxiety already ramping up... ARGH! Plus, traffic in that part of town is always terrible, and now the snowbirds are all over.

Spoons? I Blame Cosmo that I dont know what this means...
Spoons are a metaphor for dealing with the stresses of the world, especially for people who have anxiety, depression, or other mental or emotional statuses that make such interactions even more difficult.
Each spoon represents a certain amount of capacity for dealing with stress or aggravation to your psyche. Each time you do so and navigate such a situation, you lose one (or sometimes more, if it's a bad one) spoon(s). Some days you have more spoons to work with than others, some days less.
When you're out, you're essentially mentally or emotionally at your limit for the day and need to withdraw from things that aggravate your psyche and thus cost you spoons until you can recharge, AKA get more spoons. Being unable to do so, or otherwise being forced to confront situations you don't have sufficient spoons on-hand to handle, can cause adverse reactions, such as hostility, breakdowns, panic attacks, etc. - the side effects of unmanaged or overextended stress.
Some people are capable of even going into "spoon debt" or "spoon credit" and spend spoons they don't yet have, at the cost of fewer spoons than normal at some point in the future.

I blame Cosmo for the spoons metaphor ever getting started. I've found that gamers understand the "spell slots" metaphor as an even better example.
Some days you've used all your higher level slots but you can still cast a few first level spells. Other days you use up all of the spell slots early and have wait until the next day to even attempt to cast anything.
I thought sporks were simply meant to confuse your food.
I had not heard the spoons concept before. Similar concepts, yes, just not in spoons.

Not saying Ambrosia Slaad is selfish or lazy(I know personally they are not)...it makes sense if you have social anxiety. My friends just seem to use it as a excuse.

I also blame Cosmo that I should have instead expressed my exhaustion in terms of (DSP) psionics and power points.

Pugwampis have + 5 Stealth (at base) and enough Int to pair that with Invisibility Potions. It's also worth noting that Gnolls are immune to the unluck aura, and intelligent enough to procure and supply Pugwampis with these potions. And possibly even to train Pugwampis as rogues.
They can only react to Pugwampis if they know that they are there. :)

Foot tall Pugwampi. Waist high ground fog. Liberal sprinkling of caltrops, bear traps and difficult terrain.
Also animals are immune to the pugwampi unluck aura. So toss in some rapid bat swarms and blood sucking trained weasels, just to add injury to insult.
This is all Cosmo's fault for making me think of evil pugwampi encounters. :)
