Sometimes, even the best of role players slips up and begins to talk Out Of Character (OOC). The command @ooc will taken players to the Out Of Character garden, where they may speak out of character freely.

(1) Vetrans of Atas`Cosita will be given no warning and can be ejected upon sight of OOC discussion outside of the OOC garden.

(2) Newer members and visitors are given ONE warning if you are heard OOC talking. If you continue to talk OOC, you will be ejected from the dream. This is subject to council discretion based on severity.

(3) If you must relay something that cannot be done through whispers, please retire to the OOC Garden/Room. The OOC garden can be reached by saying !ooc, and one returns in character by saying the command !ic.

(4) There ARE exceptions to the rules, the three letter abbreviations: AFK, BRB are allowed. Also allowed is (Back), when you return from your absence

(5) Basic bracketted talking (()) is allowed ONLY in a combat situation in which teams are involved. This bracketted talking (()) is reserved ONLY for when fighters lose track of turns.

(6) If you are ejected due to OOC talk, then please, feel free to return to Atas`Cosita when you are able to keep In Character.

(7) Being OOC through whispers is acceptable (and encouraged!), so long as the person you are talking with is aware that you are Out of Character.
