No gift when told not to bring one - bad form?

Went to a reception for a friend tonight. Him and his girlfriend got married away from everyone here at home and decided that they were going to hold a reception just to celebrate with everyone here as well. When I hung out with him a couple of months prior he made a point of saying - no gifts.

So I got there, I brought a card (of course) but everyone else seemed to have either brought a gift or a card with cash as per usual at a wedding.

Mind that this was a night reception, no dinner, however it was an open bar which I did not drink at because I have to work tomorrow morning and it was a 45 minute drive home from the reception.

I'm thinking he told me no gifts plus usually your gift is basically a way to pay for your dinner at a regular wedding. Still, I feel a little guilty for some reason. Bad form?
 
i always bring a gift even though they say no. its their way of being modest. nobody is going to tell you to bring a gift its kinda a given.
 
I abhor stupid highschool games and modesty crap like this. If someone invites me to an event and says, "Don't do x", then I don't do it.

The world is a very confusing place...

Don't they have (online) gift registry? Best way to go, and you can leave a gift message as a card. (Everybody throws their cards away anyways, no point in spending money on them).
 
I would say you are in the clear simply because you were told not to bring anything. But for future reference I would always take a at least a card with some money or something.

Oh my fucking god...
I might not have an e-crush anymore.
Or maybe I have more of an e-crush.
I'll have to get back to you on that one.

I'm only familiar with Everquest, Super Nintendo, Nintendo, and Game Boy. Unless Zmud was a character on E'CI, in which case, no, I was not him. :D

I was usually the guy in EC at Shady or T2 auctioning "WTS FBSS 6K OBO, CSS 3K, Lammy 3.5K OBO, RBG 10K, COF 60K firm, LSOEE 10K OBO, ODS 10K OBO, More at T2 or PST". I was a total EC slut/tunnel rat.

I played guildwars and WoW.. how sad.. I'm totally a closet geek.. or an ex closet geek at least..

I've never played either, so my last post probably made no sense, lol. I've seen WOW played, and it looked childlike in terms of simplicity and ease/shortness of playing. No mandatory groups, no economy, no getting annihilated by soloing blues... lol.

ha.. hardly..

shortness is unheard of.. you have to grind and spend countless hours to get anything worthwhile..

also the worthwhile stuff comes with teamwork and raiding.. much like in everquest.. like 40 group instances and such.. we actually used the same DKP system that was invented in EQ.. and the pvp system was good..

guildwars was awesome pvp maybe to much, and wow was to much raiding and grinding..

I'm waiting to play warhammer 40k.. maybe I don't really have time for video games anymore..

it was a good game though.. =)

Yeah, I've only watched old friends play WOW, and they always solo'd multiple mobs at once and seemed to med and heal in a fraction of the time as Equipoise - boldenone undecylenate - , but I only saw a small amount at mid-levels.

I never got into PVP... I guess the game was intricate enough without adding another variable.

Time was a huge one -- MMORPG's take a lot of time, and it's not really practical when someone has other obligations. I gave up leveling around mid-30's to whore the East Commons tunnel buying and selling. Once I hit the 30's, groups took 3+ hours, and the lvl 40+ raids sometimes allotted 8 hours mandatory, easily.

Is EQ even still around? I remember some hoopla with EQII, but never actually saw it played by anyone.

Geeks are underrated.

Yep, EQI is still around -- this is my friend's profile, and it looks like he still bloody plays this game: http://eqplayers.station.sony.com/character_profile.vm?characterId=601295424411

Total Time Played 231 day 4 hours 1 minute

Okay, that's geek. 200+ days is a lot. That's over 5,000 hours of playing a game. Wow.

I had a friend that got "married" in Everquest. Those of us who even played the game laughed behind his back at something so pathetic. Needless to say, I didn't bring him any gifts. :D

Some people take the online role playing a tad far...

I'd RP my ogre some, with a pull hotkey like, "Yarg, me have *target* incoming!" and mess with people buying/selling by talking like that. :D
