Ooc

Anything that pulls you out of the story ... such as ooc chatter about another player's "boobs," destroys immersive rp. ❋ Aliceoddcabinet (2010)

And I will add, I bring this up after having had a number of (otherwise good) roleplayers tell me ooc they want things to be more laid back, less intense, that they come to SL to relax, etc. ❋ Readingthedark (2010)

Before I ever read fanfic, I just thought it was ooc stories with bad grammar and dialogue and Mary Sues (my opinion was formed by my sister, who had read Hercules and Xena fanfic), but people kept recommending Disheveled on TWOP. ❋ Rabid1st (2009)

I'll never, ever again be able to grin and bear lousy rping, ooc nonsense, and half-assed worldbuilding in Second Life. ❋ Greygirlbeast (2010)

At one point, the ooc posts outnumbered the ic posts by about eight to one (mostly jokes about "boobs"). ❋ Aliceoddcabinet (2010)

WoW is fine, if you just want to shut your brain off and coast, but it can't compare to actual rp, when the rp is good, when it's straight-up improvisational theatre, and is not ruined by incessant ooc drama and nonsense. ❋ Serasempre (2009)

And, for what it's worth, Insilico does have strict rules about ooc behavior, it's just that lots of people ignore them and GMs rarely enforce them. ❋ Aliceoddcabinet (2010)

She is the very definition of ooc drama, and is utterly incapable of discerning RL from rp. ❋ Greygirlbeast (2009)

And something came up in guild chat, and I asked if a comment in question had been said "ic or ooc," and no one had any idea what I was talking about. ❋ Greygirlbeast (2008)

There was ooc banter (which will be rare in HE), and many questions were asked, and, afterwards, people wandered about the sim. ❋ Greygirlbeast (2008)

There will be absolutely no out-of-character chat and socializing in the sim, no blingtards, no idiocy, no whining, and no blurring of SL and RL to create ooc drama. ❋ Matociquala (2008)

The texting phenomenon has given rise to acronyms like "paw" (parents are watching), "lol" (laughing out loud), "g2g" (got to go) and "ooc" (out of control). ❋ Unknown (2008)

For this chart I used target 5.3, upper out-of-control target 8.0 and lower ooc target 3.6. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Hanging around in Bree in Lord of the Rings Online might result in some random /ooc or /advice comment about the book's plot. ❋ Unknown (2007)

I think in practice its better than the worst case because odds are you are playing with folks who you share external frames of reference, culture: /ooc as the classic conduit. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Oh sure, some have an "ooc channel" but that's not at all what is needed - you need a way to mark any speech via any channel as "in character". ❋ Unknown (2004)

In online games I've been in that had successful immersive roleplay, you also could, due typically to everyone putting all OOC remarks in (( )) (doubled parentheses) or prefacing it with ooc: (or both). ❋ Unknown (2004)

I didn't send off the gifts until the day before christmas so you should be getting them soon (ooc - i'll have katie "give" them too you soon ... prolly tomorrow bc im not gunna be around tonight really). ❋ Katebell (2004)
