Recently since I've been back after my half a year away (not by my personal choice) noticing quite a few no-nos in roleplay etiquette that where taught to me years ago by Vendla,Ratfish,Faral,Cuarlang and Herebrand that I must remind people somewhat after last nights Helegrod raids.
First one: It's nice to use emotes but you must be sure that the people your doing this with are okay with it, doing a "boast" near a group of musicians in the shire during an RP event is a huge no-no and makes us look bad to our friends in the Shire an emote can be Boast, that everyone nearby faints thing, throwing snowballs randomly at people who don't want that to happen, the first things when your going to do this is "is this appropriate for the situation as people take RP serious on this server" afterall Landroval is labelled as an RP-EN server on listings second of all "ask permission of the people you are going include in this otherwise it is seen as very rude".
Secondly, Vendla and Bookwerm (yes book you might remember this incident back in 2011 during a Shire event) during our RP events with our Shire friends to please keep roleplay in character ie. do not 4th Wall/Metagame (metagaming by definition is taking information you know in real life and playing it as your character knows it when they shouldn't ie. knowing the future of the fellowship before it happens.... you arn't an oracle...)
Thirdly and finally be sure to thank the people you roleplay with, being polite and proper with people shows that we as a Kinship respect the feeling and guidelines of roleplay/larping, which adds to this next topic, please keep RP ; PG related if a player(s) don't feel comfortable with a RP that's happening you shouldn't continue it, this by no factor is a get free out of jail card for a burglar who RP'd stealing from someone and got caught and put in jail and "doesnt feel comfortable" use sensibility... yes I know... some are probably chuckling... at the word "sensible" but it is true if a player flashes a red light because the RP is going somewhere not socially acceptable or is above PG it shouldn't continue.
((Sorry Faral,Bookwerm I just had to post that comment as I've been noticing allot of players doing things... not proper not going say we do all or some of those or name anyone but please try to follow proper Roleplay Etiquette we're all here to help & enjoy the experience of roleplay with each other P.S. stop Pming Faral or is brain will explode))
