My friend Eugenia said people were talking about this on the KoS chat today, so I thought I'd start a thread for it. What is your RP pet peeve about KoS?

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: http://kosguide.blogspot.com/2008/09/roleplay-generic-guidelines.html

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 think Ireem is one of the richest potential roleplay environments in SL. The story floats in the air around us. Let's try to grab a thread & run with it. Insha'allah.

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!
