The Fine Line - The Limit of Roleplaying

[busyrobot]

Just to point out: use of OOC brackets is not a rule for RPing, its a rule for not RPing and they get way overused. I find when people think its okay to disrupt the flow of an RP event to make a "look at me" joke in ((oocs)) its more distracting than not using brackets at all.

Overall I support their use, but I support actually roleplaying during the day instead of using them more, and only using them in an event to convey info needed in game that cannot be said IC. When no one in a group is roleplaying, but are on tag the lack of use them doesn't cause any problems in my opinion.

If roleplaying is to thrive, there has to be rp continuity. If you travel to Samurai while your kingdom is at war with them, oocs make no difference if the two sentries you run into just say ((dumb retard noobs get tf off if u wer in bmode youd be dead)). I am not saying Samurai is like that now (I haven't played for more than 20 minutes in months) but if you are serious about reviving RP you need rules to handle continuity in a fair way.
