Gather up some snow, make it into some snowballs, and put them in the freezer.

Wait until April. Nobody expects a snowball in April.

Don't be passive aggressive.

Talk to them out of game and tell them to attend next session.

Be a kitsune.

They can't be arsed to play online due to inclement weather?

No "downtime" session of an hour or two of IC banter and upkeep for equipment and the like.

That you have half of your players there means the real punishment is having the rest of the group's fate tied to being at half strength.

Why does /tg/ always say to not punish players in-game?

It seems fair to me.

you punish players in-game for in-game actions and punish players out of game for out of game actions. Because, mixing OOC with IC is a recipe for drama
