OOC (Out Of Character)

OOC stands for Out Of Character, which refers to a player's actions, conversations, or remarks that are not in line with their character in the roleplay scenario. In other words, it's a distinction between the player's real-life identity and the role they are playing in the game. The purpose of having an OOC distinction is to maintain clear boundaries between the fantasy world of the roleplay and the real world, and to prevent confusion or misunderstandings between players.

Examples of OOC include:

1. Joking about real-life events that are not related to the roleplay

2. Breaking character to make jokes or banter with other players

3. Discussing personal opinions or experiences

4. Using meta-game knowledge to gain an advantage in-game

5. Talking about server rules or administration matters in-game

6. Discussing OOC plans or future roleplay scenarios

7. Bringing up real-life drama or conflicts

8. Using personal information of other players without permission

9. Sharing real-life identities or contact information

10. Using out of character emotes or symbols

11. Bringing up in-game rules or mechanics in-game

12. Talking about real-life politics or religion

13. Being disruptive or hostile to other players

14. Speaking in a language that is not in-character

15. Speaking in a tone or manner that is inconsistent with the roleplay.
