Monique

Players are never required to out themselves to anyone, and if they wish to leave the game and return and not tell anyone who they are upon return, that is completely fine. We support fresh starts.
However, when that fresh start places other players in situations they explicitly did not want with the returned player under the assumption and guarantee through OOC avenues that this is not the the old player, too many boundaries are crossed and the behavior is manipulative and robs the targeted players of informed consent. A player's fresh start is not more important than the safety of those players who cut ties with that player in the past.
In addition, lying to staff is not okay.
On that note, we will be retiring the character of Monique.
