OOC/IC Information
Out Of Character (OOC) knowledge is anything that is not known to your character. This can include information about In Character (IC) events as well as information about players. You may not act upon OOC knowledge of events unless your character has found out through an IC method. Note that well-known world events posted in the MOTD are permissible as IC knowledge.
Out of character behavior is behavior inconsistent with the ways that
your character normally acts and responds. Your character should always stay IC and act according to his or her motives. It is not permitted to use IC motive as an excuse to break game rules.
OOC abuse is not permitted. Examples include:
* Switching between characters for OOC reasons. This includes, but is not limited to, angering a player/mob and then switching to another character to kill it more easily or switching to a cleric to raise an OOC friend. Wanting to stop playing one character and start playing another under normal circumstances is reasonable. Beware of doing anything suspicious immediately after logging on, or if you are about to log off.
* Suspicious activity between your characters, current and past. Your characters cannot know, be related to, or have met each other or your past characters. Your characters should also avoid discussing each other or your past characters.
* “Coincidences” with items and OOC friends. This includes passing items between your characters and developing IC like/dislike solely because of the player behind another character.
