Roleplaying Policy
It’s generally expected that the content of anything IC you do, emotes or
other IC commands follows reasonable standards with regards to staying IC
and not being used to accomplish other things, in particular:
*)/u>/iemote. SRs are exempt from this standard if they find they need OOC emotes
to set up/run their scenes. If this is the case wrap the OOC emote in brackets
or the like to make it distinct.
*)/u>/ierror and cannot do so ICly you should do it with a small follow up
clarifying statement. Do not repeat the whole emote again. This spams people
unnecessarily and causes more information to scroll off their screen.
*)/u>/iYou should not color all your emotes. You should not overwrite people’s
color say preferences with colored speech in your emotes.
*)/u>/ievents as if you were a narrator talking about the scene. This is
especially true of passive aggressive commentary such as. “Bob ignores
@person and their stupid shoes.”
*)/u>/iunless the result has been determined by some coded feature of the game such
as a compete or combat.
*)/u>/icharacter or their agenda unless they are professional NPCs simply doing
their job, such as bodyguards or shopkeepers. Or are NPCs reasonably
under your authority behaving sensibly, such as a secretary fetching
coffee or a child obeying their parents.
*)/u>/iroleplay with your emotes. Such as by deliberately focusing attention on
any coded aspect of the game unequal to the task of representing a reality
or on interpretations of coded events that are notably less sensible than
other interpretations.
If you want to do an emote that another character might be able to stop, such
as one interacting with them, use the attempt command instead to give
them the option to look over it.
Also ensure you are following help content policy and the rules for not
roleplaying having abilities you do not codedly have and for only writing
explicit material while under the ‘private’ flag.
You can use report (person) if you feel they are violating these standards,
which will send them a message referring them to this help file.
