OOC/IC INFORMATION
IC - In Character
This is a RP (RolePlay)server, normally you are not just a person sitting at your computer playing a game to see how many kills you can get. You play a character and try and emulate life (loosely of course, we dont all have guns in real life). If you want to speak IC there are a few different ways to do it.
To speak to other characters nearby you just typing normally without any command, or by using "/l "(when on a phone)
To advertise by using "/ad " (This will result in a green line going to all players as an advert for you to sell things, arrange parties etc etc)
To whisper other characters nearby so only that person hears you is done via "/w ". (Other characters will know you have whispered the other person, but not what you have whispered)
To shout out us "/s " This extends the range of which you can normally be heard (dont use /s all the time though)
There are other methods of speaking In Character, but you will find these out in game.
Whilst speaking in any of these forms, do not use accronyms or smilies like lol, wtf, omg, etc or :O :S Razz, doing so will result in any or all of the following. Admin jail, kicks from server or bans from the server (eventually).
OOC - Out Of Character
OOC is used when you are not RPing, when you, as a person sitting at home/work want to talk to others NOT YOUR CHARACTER. Again there are a few ways to do this.
Private Message to anyone on the server, all you do is find their ID (by doing "/ID ") and typing "/pm "
Local OOC is done by typing "(" this will send a message to players around you, but will include ((Message)) brackets around what you said, to indicate its not to be use for roleplay purposes.
Global OOC (server wide OOC) is done by simply doing "/o " The colour of the text for any type of OOC is a different colour, and includes the double brackets to identify it as OOC.
So, the basic rule is, if its your character saying something use an IC method, if its you as a person, use an OOC method. Can be tricky to get used to but it helps the RP along.
NOTE - do not use OOC information for IC purposes.
Guide to starting your new life:
Before you connect to the server for the first time you need to find yourself a Roleplay name you want to use. You have to use the following format:
* Firstname_Lastname - For example: Vito_Gambino
* Names we dont allow: We dont allow names with Numbers - For example: V_Gambino_69
* We want all players to use Capitals in their first letter of the first name, and the last name. - For example: Vito_Gambino
When you have chosen your Roleplay name you will proceed with reading the rules we have for our server. When you have done that you can connect to the server and start roleplaying.
When you connect to the server you will spawn at Las Venturas Airport,After that you run to a bike , if you want to drive a car , You take the licenses in city hall , You go to the bank and do /withdraw 20000 , After that you go to city hall and buy licenses.
((If you don't know where use /IRC I need help please, If you got DMed use /report [ID] [Reason]
You have now started your role playing life. To speak OOC [Out of Character] use ([Text] for local OOC or /o for global. [Local = same as normal chat, Global = All users on the server can see it].
If there is any questions you may have you can contact an admin in game, You can use /IRC and /REPORT [ID] [REASON]
Thank you for playing on Gnols Roleplay
