If Praetorian is unavailable tonight I would understand. But if it's because of the chrismas... That's very absurd. We can't let in all the people as it is, why cancel it because we are too few?
For Praetorian it may be just not worth the job to it on Christmas where a lot of people cant attend. Or whatever reason he have, he have no obligation to do it.
It takes really really lot to organize it. Especially if so few people will come. Praetorian might wan't to celebrate Christmas or something too, I bet it's hard to organize a battle every Monday, so let's give him a break and go eat some gingerbread.
Now I don't plan on doing a line battle tonight as I had expected MM Russia to be released around this time and naturally, people would be too busy looking at all the new goodies to play a line battle. That said we might throw together a little something tonight that can be just as fun.
