General RP Tips

General tips for RP in C.C.S
First off if you go AFK for any amount of time always turn off your meter (/9off)and upon returning to the game please put it back on (/9on)
Secondly as a rule you don’t know anybodies name until they have introduced themselves to you (if you name someone while IC it is classed as metagaming and could be taken to a GM and serious consequences could result)as a rule just because it says it says their name above their head they may be going by an alias or acronym for their name I.E someone could be called “Darkheaven linden” but as a quick name they may use “Dark” as an abbreviation so remember that you have to have formal introduction to know someone’s name (same as in RL) and the same is vice versa if you don’t know them they don’t know you!
While OOC it is common for people to use double brackets around what they say I.E
((argh this lag is a nightmare))
If you wish to emote something I.E
darkheaven Linden drops his gun
Without the : after the name ,use /me in local chat before you say what you want

As an after note if you are a complete noob to copy anything in SL you need to press ctrl+c and click what you wish to copy while the thing you wish to copy is highlighted. To paste it press ctrl+v in the area you wish to paste it to
