We collab posted the reveal of Ethan being a father because we didn't want any interruption between them for that particular moment. Since joseph and I are in different time zones it made more sense to collab a post then try to have the moment in between 6 to 8 other posts, which would detract from the moment. I do not normally collab post, but this time I felt it was needed to preserve what we were trying to accomplish between our two characters. It's not hard for you to make a reaction post after the fact. I posted in the OOC that Ethan was the father and that he and Kat were going to have a dramatic reunion days ago, plenty of time for people to work out how their characters were going to react, so I don't understand how the reveal "came out of nowhere". And some people do not have time. Myself included. I have worked 14 hr shifts for the past three days, stealing moments between work, eating and sleeping to post what little I can and it is hard. I hate it because I can't post the way I want but do not want to hold up the rp for others. In the time I have taken to post this I am going to have to skip breakfast in order to make it to work on time. Quality posts take more then "10 minutes" to do because when you care about the quality of something it takes time to process, create, edit (sometimes multiple times) in order to get a post you feel good about posting for others. All of these veiled and not so veiled insults flying back and forth is very disheartening. I do not enjoy conflict and would like to request it stop. Please.
