2: [Feb 15 2011] Some Thoughts (Ogma)
From time to time a player might grow bored of playing a certain
character, or find the RP for that character untenable due to
various reasons -- loss of reputation, loss of an RP partner, etc.
These things happen, and it's perfectly acceptable to suicide that
character, rename and start over.

If a character isn't well established, this presents little problem.
When an established character does this, it wouldn't be out of the
question to tell a few friends that you are 'going home' or on a
long journey. I've seen several times an established character
mysteriously disappear like this though, and watch as accusations of
murder and overwrought farewells and vows of vengence stack up on
the boards. In my opinion, this is fairly lame. There are a few
players who do this repeatedly.

When an established character does this, but first sends all their
gear including their amulet and an ominous, unsigned note to their
friends, this is crossing a line into very lame, and is bordering on
serious metagaming. Cut it out.
