The concept of Out-of-Character knowledge is nothing new to roleplaying games; simply put, if it's something your character wouldn't know, you cannot use that information to influence your actions. | The concept of Out-of-Character knowledge is nothing new to roleplaying games; simply put, if it's something your character wouldn't know, you cannot use that information to influence your actions. | ||
==OOC | If you've never roleplayed before, IC stands for "In-Character". The concept is that your knowledge and your character's knowledge are separate; you might know that, say, welding masks prevent being turned into a revolutionary, but your character doesn't necessarily know that.

SS13 comes with a pre-built OOC channel, accessed simply by using the command 'OOC "text"'. OOC is for asking simple, non-game mode questions. What you have to remember is that no in-character information can be stated in OOC. This means no asking questions about what kind of round it is, no getting pissy over dying, or even mentioning that you're dead. | SS13 comes with a pre-built OOC channel, accessed simply by using the command 'OOC "text"'.

A good rule of thumb is if someone not playing the round or involved in a scene can still tell what's happening, it's IC in OOC. If you ever have to question whether or not you should say it, '''DON'T FUCKING SAY IT.''' | A good rule of thumb is if someone not playing the round or involved in a scene can still tell what's happening, it's IC in OOC.
