| Message | ooc: ooc means Out Of Character, clarifying ones statement as being one as yourself on earth, instead of as the spokesman of a political party on Terra. |

| Message | ooc: for example, if you want to talk about the rules of the game, or its mechanics, or about a current event IRL, say "ooc:" 1st. On the other hand if you are speaking as leader of the SCP, don't say "ooc:" 1st. |
