What is Roleplay ?
-Roleplay is immersing yourself in a role and playing it like you were an actor in an interactive movie. When Roleplaying, you are not yourself but the character/toon you decided to impersonate.
What is In charater (ref : IC) as opposite as Out of Character (ref : OOC) ?
-In-Character (IC) is everything related to what the characters/toons are doing while players impersonate them, how do they act, what they think, their beliefs, knowledge, life experiences, interactions within the world they
live in and the other characters they encounter.
-Out of Character (OOC) is everything related to players, you, and all other players on the server and part of the community and also, outside of the character they impersonate.
-When roleplaying, you do not want to mix both at any moment for a lot of reasons, as for example, to keep having a coherent story for everyone, to not keep hard feelings with IC interactions that could go bad for your characters,
to not gain advantage over other players ooc, and/or toon ic.
What is Metagaming ?
-Metagaming often refers to having an in-game character act on knowledge that the player has access to, but the character should not.
What standard of RP do we expect from our players on our WhiteListed server ?
-We ask from you to not discuss anything about advanced game mechanics and knowledge ( lore and map location for example ) outside of character at any moment. We know we cannot enforce that rule, but doing so will lead to
a loss of fun and coherence for everyone ( be it ic or ooc ).
-We ask from people using their own private discord server to really separate their vocal discussion while being actively talking there. Your toons are allowed to have long distance private comms if you have a RP justification,
that being said, you'll have to make sure that when you use it, your microphone is also open in the game so any other toon that might be in hearing range can hear what your toon is saying on his radio (your private ic discord radio channel).
We also ask from you to refrain to engage into an ooc conversation with your playmates while being logged in the game because we consider that metagaming.
-We ask from you to not take what happens in game personally out of character. This is a harsh world the characters lives in. Tensions will arise. Words will be said, and actions taken. Remember this is all a game, you are not your toon,
just like any other player's toon isn't the player. This is very important for everyone enjoyment and our community as a whole.
-We ask from you to really make a difference between Conflict Roleplay, and PvP. Conflict Roleplay is all part of the story and brings excitement for everyone if played right and fair. PvP is a form of conflict that lead to drama and metagaming,
we want our players to really make a difference. Having a conflict with other toons and/or factions doesn't mean you are at conflict with the player. Do not mistake for another as PvP on this server in the term of gaining advantage outside of the game
and over other players ( in opposition as characters ) we consider metagaming.
-We ask from you to refrain to suicide your character because it's convenient in term of gameplay and value its life at any given moment. This is best for immersion for everyone and can create interactions between players.
-We ask from you to understand that on the Whitelisted server, "Find out IC" is the way to go.
-We ask from you to have fun immersing yourself in the character you impersonate because this is the whole point !
