My specific peeve is that people don't seem to read the KoS Guidelines for
roleplay. There are lots of violations of even the tiniest RP rules. Keeping IC
seems to be very hard for some people. Here are the guidelines:

Amen to keeping OOC out of IC. We all need to remember that there is a clear
difference between IC and OOC in any game. It can be very frustrating to
roleplay an IC disagreement with someone only to have them take it personally
OOC and begin acting OOC instead of IC. Please remember to remain in-character
at all times unless in IMs. And remember that just because someone disagrees
with you IC doesn't necessarily mean that they do so OOC. Keep calm and keep it
RP and it is much more worthwhile. Don't take OOC offense at someone's IC
action and then start calling them names, etc, in IC chat.

I must agree with Kalani. I think when someone gets offended OOC, (Please don't
take someone's IC to heart), and they talk OOC trash to everyone in local chat
or kos chat or even shout it, it really shows their character. We are all
adults here, well I hope so. So let's remember that IC is IC, not a real person
in front of you cutting you with a sword or speaking bad to you, so let's try
to not take it to heart, I see so many people get offended by role play and
start drama. It is not RL!!! *SIGHS*... okay I am done haha. but I love you all
and love KOS. bottom line I agree with above replies.

Gestures! Silly OOC gestures are my pet peeve. I do not understand why
people, if they can't think of anything to say IC, don't just keep silent. I
often sit for ages & just watch what is going on without saying a word.
Occasionally, I will interject some action or a harrumph or a sigh. It is
enough to indicate I'm still present. It is enough. Please keep OOC gestures to
yourself. In fact, please don't use gestures at all unless they relate directly
to your character & the situation of the moment. They're incredibly
distracting & ruin the atmosphere as quickly as the ice cream falling out
of a child's cone. Okay. Thanks. I'm done. Well, not quite. And yes... txtspk.
Errrrgghhh. Enough said. |

I would say others, whom you've never met IC, knowing your name and or knowing
your character. It would be understandable if your character was in a position
in which they would be known simply by virtue of their station. But kills me to
see others run up to my character and converse as if they are old friends, when
my character is a fresh off the boat slaver.

My biggest pet peeve would have to be when someone logs out during a fight
(especially when I'm about to win xP ). When people do that it makes we want to
have a cigarette.....

Just one peeve? How about a top 10 or 20? 14. Haning around watching a scene
and making insulting comments about the other people's rp. Isabo Baxton watches
the exchange between Sir Lancelot and Miss Annabelle and rolls her eyes
thinking she smells something corny. 13. Using emotes to fling
ipassive-agressive insults at people. Isabo Baxton thinks that Miss Annabelle
McBusty-not's dress looks like she got it from behind a dumpster at a porn
studio. 12. Correcting your partner's typos, grammer, spelling, costume
choices, weapon choices or anything else you think you know more about. Isabo
Baxton knows that Miss Annabelle really meant to not end a sentence with a
prepostion. 11. Complaining about people so everyone can hear it. Isabo Baxton:
Oh, that Sir Lancelot is such a god moder, I hate him. 10. Randomly chatting
OOC while IC. Sir Lancelot: Miss Annabelle, you are luminous today. Isabo
Baxton: (So, I got my nails done today and they're rocking, she did this
amazing design on the middle finger.) Miss Annabelle: (Yeah, I have middle
fingers painted on my middle finger, it's so ... epic) Miss Annabell: Oh,
Lancelot, you look stunning in your new chainmal. Miss Annabelle: (So, Isabo,
did you see the latest Jonas Brothers video, they are like soooo, hot) Isabo
Baxton: (Nooo, I haven't, hey have you seen Lil Mouse Undead Bitch recently?)
Sir Lancelot wanders off in search of self-gratification. 9. Arguing about a
scene publically so that you share your irritation with everyone. 8. Whining on
the group IM chat about all the crappy rpers who are interrupting your god
moding. Isabo Baxton: Can I get an admin to the Bedu camp, Sir Lancelot won't
play the way *I* want him to. 7. Being unable to walk away from an argument in
the main chat Sir Lancelot: Isabo, you really don't know how to roleplay, let
me explain how it's done in KOS. Isabo Baxton: Well, you know, I am am
experienced rper, I have my black belt in role play, I know I've only been in
this zone 1 day but let me tell you how *I* do it. Sir Lancelot: Well, I see.
ok, See you around. Isabo Baxton: You have a lot of nerve telling me how to rp
when you spam tells. Sir Lancelot: Wow, you really are a bitch. and so on....
6. Always wanting to win every fight. Unless you've got a big blue spandex
leotard on, a red cap and a "S" on your chest, you are not invulnerable. And,
even then, I reserve the right to slip you a kryptonite roofie. 5. Refusing to
wait to get a response from your rp partner and spamming tells. Isabo Baxton
waves her sword in the air, "Perhap to die Evildoers!" Isabo Baxton aims her
sword at her opponent Major Evildoer and swipes at his head. Isabo Baxton steps
forward and hacks wildly at his arm. Isabo Baxton trips on a branch and goes
sprawling towards the bushes. Isabo Baxton gets tangled up in the bushes, the
branches ripping the thin fabric of her top exposing her ample bosum. Major
Evildoer looks up from his campfire startled at the war cry and looks in
Isabo's direction. 4. Telling *me* how to respond to *your* action. Isabo
Baxton grabs Miss Annabelle McBusty-not's hair and pulls it out by the roots,
watching happily as Annabelle writhes in the sand clutching her new bald spot.
3. Getting upset when you don't read my limits and I stop roleplaying with you.
Isabo Baxton: Uh, FYI, I don't do scenes with Platypusses or Otters, let's pull
back a sec. Miss Annabelle McBusty-not: Fuck you bitch, you're the worst rper
ever, I'm voiding this whole scene and calling the admins. 2. Intruding on
other people's scenes without asking persmission. Ms Annebelle McBusty-not
listens as Sir Lancelot du Lac brings Lady Isabo Baxton to orgasm and wanders
in smiling brightly and says, "Hey, can I get some of that good knight lovin'?"
1. Ignoring me. Me, of all people. pshaw!
