Game Help: Roleplay

    Roleplay in Mystavaria
    Mystavaria is considered to be RP Encouraged rather than RP Enforced.
    We realise that everyone has their own personal preferences, and we strive
    to foster an immersive and accepting world for all to escape to. With that
    in mind, we have created a system that we're hoping will allow players
    of all types to find middle ground and experience the best of both worlds.

    Roleplay Preferences
    We highly encourage all players to set their RP Preference using
    RP PREFERENCE <choice>. This is a system that does not punish
    players for playing in their preferred RP style, but rather allows
    for them to come together without interrupting the gaming experience
    for one another.

    The four RP Preference choices are:

     Minimal
     You would rather not be confined to strictly in character actions.

     Casual
     You are fairly neutral and may shift frequently between in and out of
     character actions.

     Preferred
     You prefer to stay in character, but don't mind irregular out of
     character interacton.

     Serious
     You are strictly in character and prefer to avoid all out of
     character communication.

    How does my RP Preference change my gameplay?
    Well, for the most part, it doesn't! However, there are a few differences
    that should be noted before making your selection.

    Minimal and Casual will cause you to speak using OOC SAY
    and OOC TELL by default. This protects you from accidentally saying
    something out of character, in character. You can use IC SAY and
    IC TELL to specify if you want your message strictly in character.

    Preferred and Serious are the opposite, and default to speaking
    with IC SAY and IC TELL. If you have one of these preferences
    chosen,  you can use OOC SAY and OOC TELL to designate when a
    message is strictly out of character.

    With any of the above options - you will simply use the SAY and TELL
    commands as normal, and your messages will be sent with proper flags.

    In all cases, players may choose to IGNORE OOC, which will completely
    mute messages spoken with OOC SAY and OOC TELL. These messages
    can be seen again by activating NOTICE OOC.

    Players can also use RP WHO to see a list of other players that have
    flagged themselves as RP Preferred or RP Serious. We hope this will aid in
    helping the more serious roleplayers connect with each other.

    Will players be punished for mislabeling their RP Preference?
    This will be on a case by case basis. If someone has labeled themselves as
    "RP Serious" but sends repeated out of character messages, we will have
    visiblity to their preference and can adjust and advise as necessary.

    Please make sure to review HELP RP RULES for further details about
    when to keep it in character and when it's okay to relax a little more.
