Role playing defined by MY terms.
To act out a role/life of a non realistic chararcter to make them seem/appear realistic.
This includes any conversation possible EXCEPT, harassment, cursing, and various profane acts seen to be unfit for role play.
This includes( BUT is not required) showing the dedication to provide an excellent background for which your character can use during gameplay. (Notice all the RP stories in the Britannia Times section.)
This includes separating your text from public eyes. Role play in public, and state in every text or state at beginning and end of conversation (OOC)(Out of character) This is a provided excuse from roleplaying if you are somewhat like me, and do not believe in government spied messenger applications like AOL, AIM, YAHOO, MSN, etc. It is very important that you separate your text. As roleplayers/medieval characters would not know what a toaster is, a razor application, a macro, a butterfinger bar, etc.
Those are the rules I follow.
When role playing, use common sense. If you visit a mine cave, and there are plenty of miners in there, commont on how bad it smells. Of course hard working miners smell horrible. Or if you see a murderer, perhaps you get a bad feeling from the individual. Emote your feelings and thoughts in the game so its obvious you don't know he/she is a murderer, BUT you sense evil in their hearts. Any human can sense evil and good. Cats and dogs sense evil and good. Again, use common sense.
Another note on this topic.
I do agree with it being unfair that the trial is below 2 weeks for some individuals (IF THIS STATEMENT IS "TRUE")
I do agree that their items should be revoked, as they have seen plenty of warning on the Britannia times section from Azrael.
If you see these acts being committed, tell someone, don't keep it inside you. Take screenshots for more proof, or even better, use a recording application such as "Fraps" to catch the act. There are massive possibilities. I would start with pageing a GM though. Then get your own proof. Paging an authority is the best way to handle a situation before you yourself take action
Example:
You get into a car wreck.
You decide you are going to move both cars off of the road, and try to tell your story from there. (BAD IDEA tampering with evidence)
You wait for the police officer to arrive and after you give your statements, he tells you to push your cars off the road. But you interrupt asking for legal reasons you wish to take photographs of the car wreck. The officer would be more than happy to comply with your request, by all means it is legal. So now not only do you have the cop's photos and judgement, you also have your own pictures showing dedication and coolness during the event. Proving that you are level headed enough to be heard in a complicated situation.
