OOC

[The Lonely Hunter]

Wow, is it just me or is there a whole lot more use of the OOC command then what there used to be? Tonight alone I've seen three different people use it just for an idle comment. A bit...disturbing.

I couldn't agree more. Some people will say 'fuck your immersion' or whatever, but you know what? It's just plain jarring. This is a rp-intense mud people. Grow up.

I think OOC should only be used when there's absolutely no other option, it should be a last resort.

Currently, this hasn't been the case.

Generally, I think OOC should be used only if really neccessary, although if someone is unaware of something codedly sometimes I'll pop out a quick comment. Besides that, I'd say that even if circumstances are such that you need to say something OOCly (help a newbie, aplogize for needing to run off for an RL emergency, or clarifying times for a big RPT event) it should be done in as private a place as possible, so you don't disturb the other players.

Also, don't be afraid to pop an OOC comment about "Hey guys, let's keep this IC," if things are really getting to be a problem.

This seems like the best solution, but it doesn't always work. Basically, you're using the ooc command to tell people not to use the ooc command.

ooc Stop using OOC, please.

The tall, muscular man says oocly:
   "No, you stop using ooc!"

Heh.

lol. I was going to agree with Taven, but good point.I didn't notice a problem really but I would say if that didn't work, and you're seeing stuff like...

Code Select Expand

The tall muscular man viciously bludgeons your neck.

Heh.

In my experiance, people usually don't intend to be using OOC so much, or get carried away, and will stop with a reminder. However, if they did respond in that way I'd suggest going back to IC yourself, and if they continue to abuse it, wish up. If there is no staff member handy, and it's to the point of real abuse, I'd file a player complaint.

I don't actually think you'd need to go that far, however, most Arm players usually are pretty good with it, and a reminder has always worked for me if things run astray (which is pretty rare in my experiance to begin with, although there have been some times close to it).

Stop eavesdropping on my FTB sessions and you won't have to endure so much OOCing.


You ooc: "Okay so we have sex and it's very messy and sweaty and there's goop all over the sheets."
The goopy sweaty sex-toy oocs: "Uh, did you give me a blowjob? And did I like it?"
You ooc: "Yeah but I don't swallow, which is why there's goop all over the sheets. You like it, I gagged and almost bit your pecker off. You got over it, I'm embarrassed."
The goopy sweaty sex-toy oocs: "Oh okay. Well I gave back as good as I got..which means, I missed. Was nibbling on your thigh the whole time..didn't know that thing was a mole!"
You ooc: "Sounds good! I smirked inside but faked it. Everyone's happy."
The goopy sweaty sex-toy oocs: "Good deal..we get dressed and we're sitting back on the cot in the afterglow of really mediocre sex. One two three GO"
