To be honest I can see some validity in the " it's for fun " argument, but when you get involved in something that involves multiple people you should try to put some priority over it. I suggest this simply cause it makes sense, with multiple people involved in something it will naturally take longer, and if someone joins an event knowing full well they can't be active to it then that is going to cause the length to increase, which makes it more likely that other users involved with start to become less active at periods since no one is active all the time, and suddenly before you know it everything is moving at a snails pace despite no one actually wishing for such a thing to happen.
Tournaments and multi men threads are a chore, it can be fun, but there's a level of planning and coordination as well as responsibility towards the thread that simply doesn't apply when it's just a thread between two users with no impact on anyone else.
On another note, perhaps we should be a bit more strict with planning events, as to not result in too much cluster where multiple top priority things are happening at the same time. I would actually agree on this point personally, although It certainly has it's pros and cons.
As a final note, select 2 people who can probably guess who they are, stop being silly and name dropping each other
