| Message | OOC: You DO understand that if Portuguese fisherman did not comply with what you call as useless bureaucracy, that Cod would no longer exist... right? You DO understand that if people weren't required to register their animals, as they are in any civilized nation, that the pet population would be running amok... right? etc, etc... I don't know about you... but I like my Cod Christmas dinners. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
