	====~~======================~~



	1) In Character (IC)

	Conversations that take place IC means that they are part of a roleplay scene and are typed in the local or nearby chat bar. One person speaks to another person, or group of people, and then waits for someone else to type a response. Please be patient, as some folks are slower typists than others.

	2) Out-of-Character (OOC)		==Out-of-Character (OOC)==

	Out-of-Character conversation is non-roleplay information that may be needed at times, such as "brb" for "be right back" or "I need to relog." Please enclose it with (( )) if said in local chat. anything OOC you feel you must say in local, keep it short. so that it will not be confused with the roleplay conversation. For example, if you are having computer problems and need to relog you would type: ((I need to relog)). Some viewers will automatically close the typed phrases with )), so you only need to type (( at the beginning of your OOC chat. If you want to use the auto-close parentheses, you'll need to enable it in your Preferences.

	3) Emoting		==Emoting==

	Roleplay is so much more than just moving an avatar from place to place. It’s about creating and interacting within a story and expressing how you think and feel about what is going on around you. Emoting is when you describe your feelings, thoughts, and actions beyond what your avatar can portray. Others cannot see if you are happy, sad, angry, getting ready to shoot them, etc. These need to be emoted.		Roleplay is so much more than just moving an avatar from place to place.

	4) God-Moding		==God-Moding==

	God-moding is not fair and it spoils the fun of discovering who other roleplay characters are and allowing them to weave their own story into the roleplay going on around you.

	5) Translator		==Translator==

	If you are in a roleplay scene with someone who speaks a different language, it is wise to use a translator. There are several in SL Marketplace.		If you are in a roleplay scene with someone who speaks a different language, it is wise to use a translator. There are several in SL Marketplace.


	6) Teleporting		==Teleporting==

	7) Your Character's Background Story		==Your Character's Background Story==

	Everyone comes from somewhere and has a personal history in real life, and the same goes for roleplay in SL. The amazing thing about roleplay is that you can create your own adventure, develop your own unique story as you interact in other players’ stories. Other than the limits of the time period and culture in which you choose to roleplay, there is no limit to the possibilities except your own imagination.

	8) Respect for other players		==Respect for other players==
	Remember, that not only are you playing out your own story, but your story fits into the bigger picture of the story of the SIM where you are participating and the stories of those who are roleplaying with you. Please be respectful of players, both IC and OOC.
