I agree with Eximius generally. A game started under the premise that you have chosen to play it with others means that you will continue to play or find a suitable replacement for yourself if unable requires the virtue of Honor and nothing more.

No amount of practice in SP can grant you Honor. You have to take it for yourself.

A player who quits because he gets upset, bored, tired, etc., is either dishonorable or undisciplined to the point where virtue is irrelevant as the person has not the capacity to understand its purpose.

All important real-life events are exempted, of course since Dom3 is just a game.

Valid points on both sides of the argument I think.

There's alot of reasons why players may quit, drop, or otherwise disappear early. And while I agree with Gandalf that noobs may be generally less disciplined than veterans and thus more inclined to drop when the going gets tough or they get bored or busy, personal commitment, honor, and concern for the other players in the game, also plays an important role as Verjigorm noted.
