Re Railing thread? I can think of at least a couple times I've called a sickey in. The first was waaay back in 05 for the release of Star Wars Galaxies Rage of the wookiees. Both me and my best friend ran with the "we don't feel well" and got a couple days off school, he managed two, i got three I can remember a couple years later my guild in wow, about 5 or 6 of them all called a week off work for Burning Crusade i joined them for the first day but wasn't that dedicated to the cause tbh. the latest one I did was for SW: The Old Republic, I remember getting the week long Beta invite, instantly called my work i had to have a minor op on my ankle, best week ever... I guess it changes as you get older, or totally depends on the game, I haven't skipped anything big for one in awhile, Still i occasionally take a day off uni for a bit of escapism, Everyone needs it
