It's recently been brought up on other threads, but not so much directly...I think being OOC (Out Of Character) should hold some sort of weight...I could understand in the earlier testing stages of a game having some lenience, but at this stage the OOC players really bring down the atmosphere.
I'm not sure what would be a good way to go about directing this change, but even some beta games give a character a "shock" or reminder of some sort that they are to try to stay in character when in game.
Anyhow...there's not much more to add to this, except asking for others ideas on the matter, something just seems off to me when you have some decent RP goin' on and someone spouts off "What do we type to..." or however they may go about not being IC, questions can just as easily be whispered to other players to avoid this, but repeated offenses are a bit obnoxious...
But hey, no ones perfect, just thinking we should start moving into a more IC direction.
