I sympathise and empathise - he kinda did waste the interviewer's time, and the fact that you were left waiting only makes it worse. That said, perhaps he has a legit OOC IRL reason - we don't know.

Silver lining, it rather made me reflect on the fact that it's the same (worse actually) when we go for empowerment/ leadership, with all the immteraction that entails, and then bail out on the char the same as our friend here has done.

Let's all respect each other's time, and do what we can to keep this a fun hobby for all :-)
