I guess if I weren't used to the concept that if you miss something, you miss something and should just catch up, I might be more sympathetic. But there's a big part of me that believes if you've got to go to bed, you should do something to make sure your character can be limbo while other characters play on.
Well, having been schooled on message board RPGs, that's what I'm used to as well. You either keep up, or if you can't keep up for reasons beyond your control (RL, or what have you), you designate someone to move your character(s) as needed while you're away. So no, I don't consider your level of "entitlement" unreasonable.
That being said, to repeat myself, I don't hate anyone over this.
As for my feelings on the matter - when I saw that Reset Button post, my first thought was, "Wha-?"
My second thought was, "Has she talked with others about this (and why wasn't I told when it was talked about?), or has she just decided this singlehandedly?" Because, I'm sorry, but IMHO, pushing the Magic Reset Button on a pivotal character in an RP that involves a whole bunch of other people isn't something that one should decide singlehandedly without consulting with said other people.
My third thought was that I was not at all happy at the prospect of having to adjust to the idea that the entire most recent part of lavender_wings' life never happened (yes, she's a fictional character, but she still has a life - you know what I mean), especially considering all the other things she could have done in the mean time.
Before you say it - yes, I realise that not saying as much when I first saw that Reset post makes me guilty of the same lack of communication I just complained about. But the thing is, it was Christmas, and I kinda had other things to do than concern myself with what was going on on LJ. That, and I was kinda tacitly assuming she did consult with others before making that post, because I just couldn't imagine she'd be so inconsiderate as to do otherwise. Chalk it up to my faith in my friends.
Once again, I don't hate anyone over this. I'm just upset that I'm only now finding out that apparently, people were hurt and people were unhappy and nobody bothered to say a thing. How are we supposed to resolve issues if no one knows that there are issues?
