That moment a scene is ruined by OOC chat...

Alright, well this whole post won't be focused on
Out Of Character (OOC) chat. 
I did find some great stuff at the new round of Fantasy
Gacha Carnival and was able to pair it all with
items already existing in my inventory.

Skin- !Imabee- Calaerneth
Hands- SLink- Elegant
Hair- Exile- Rising Dawn in Dark Blondes
Shoulders- Aisling- Lady of High Garden Shoulders
Mask- Illusions- Civetta Musica mask
Earrings- Mandala- Polly Earings

Dress- Luas- Oriana blue/gold @ Fantasy Gacha Carnival
Alright, now for the OOC chat part of my post.
This does not apply if you're on one of those community "RP not required" sims.
I have tried to review so many sims since my last post
and wound up leaving with nothing to go on. "Why?" you ask.
The people that I was able to find in RP areas were to busy talking about OOC things
to actually RP. For those of you that are new to the world of RP,
any and all OOC chat should be not only minimized, but
if OOC does take place, there should be double parenthesis around
what you are saying out of character. So, for example, your emote should be typed like
so.... /me reaches for the glass of water.
If the moment takes you to say something OOC it should look like this...
(( Ha! I see what you did there!))

Now, I don't mean to offend anyone with this post, and if you do talk
OOC often during your scenes, fine. But if I'm there and parathansis aren't
being used to designate between the two, I am 100% that I'm going to have
to leave out of sheer confusion. I can't keep it straight!

I should say that this post was more of a cautionary tale to new players.
Learn from other people's mistakes and don't get sloppy. If you want to hold an entire
conversation with the person or people your in the scene with, IM or group chat!
END RANT

Dress- The Annex- Snow Queen Gown- @ Fantasy Gacha Carnival

Now for a note on these pictures... I took them at a sim that I'm fairly sure that I
want to blog. But more research is necessary. So stay tuned and till then,
have fun role-playing. And remember, keep OOC and IC separate!
