ooc Purpose: say something Out Of Character to all listening players. Synonyms: none SYNTAX EXAMPLES 1. ooc <message> 1. ooc bad 'net lag right now USE: Use OOC to answer newbie questions, or say anything else you want to say, while making it clear it's not your character talking, but you. Normally we want to encourage everybody to stay in character all the time. But, there are circumstances where that conflicts with other goals. A nice example is that of a crabby or obnoxious character, versus our general ethic of supporting new players. Should a mean-spirited character be helpful to newbies? Maybe not. But it would be good if the player owning the character would help. That's a great time to jump in with an OOC message.     Complete command reference: Accept ACL Actuate AFK Alias Amazed Applaud Apprentice Armcross ArtistSpiff Ask Astonished Astounded Auction Backstab Baffled Balance Bandage Barf Bash Bashful Beckon Beg Belch Beseech Bid Birdflip Bite Blink Blubber Blush BodyPierce Bored Bounce Bow BSpiff Bug BuilderSpiff Bump Burp Bye C Cackle CartographerSpiff Chat Checkin Checkout Cheer Chop Chortle Chuckle Claw Close Club CodeWarriorSpiff ComedianSpiff Compose Con Concerned Confused Congrat Congrats Consider Conversions Cough Crawl Cry CSpiff Curious Curtsey Cut CWSpiff D Dance Date Deposit Description DiagnoseIllness Disarm Disbelieve Disgusted Donate Down Drag DrawIllness DrawIntoxication DrawMagicCircle DrawParalysis Drink Drool Drop E East Eat Ec Echo Elbow Embarrassed Embrace Empty Energize EnergyDrain EnergySteal Entreat Eq Equipment Ex Exits Eyeroll Facebook Fart FB Fill Flee Flirt Flourish Follow Followers Fondle FootTap Frown Frustrated Fume Gasp Gaze Genuflect Get Giggle Give Glance Glare Glower Go Grab Grat Grats Gratuity Grimace Grin Groan Group Grovel Growl Guffaw H HandClap Harm Heal Heave Heir Help Hiccup HiddenEnergyDrain HiddenEnergySteal HiddenHarm Hide Highfive Hit Hold Holler Howl Hug Hurl I Ignore Implore Inv Inventory Junk Kills Kiss Kneel Knife Knock L Laugh Lay Leader Lean Learn List Listen Lock Lockpick Logoff Logout LOL Look Mail Manicure Map MCircle MeatPuppet Med Meditate Message Mock Move N Nod North Nudge Nuzzle O OOC Open P Page Pant Pat Peek Pick Pierce PlayRoulette PlaySlot Point Ponder Pound Pour Practice Press Problem Prostrate Puke Push Put Quake Quit RClean Read Recycle Remove RemoveParalysis Rent Report ReporterSpiff Rescue Rest Return Revive Reward RitualClean Roles Roll S Sacrifice Say Scowl Scream Seethe Sell Shackle Shiver Shoot Shout Shove Shrug Shudder Sigh Sing Sit Skills Slash Sleep Smell Smile Snarl Sneak Sneer Sneeze Snicker Snort Sob South Spear Spew Spit Spock Squirm Stab Stand Stare Steal Sting Stretch Stroke Survey Tag Taste Tattoos Taunt Teach TelevisionWriterSpiff Tell Think Thrash Time Tired Title Touch Track Transfer Trash Tremble Trip TVWSpiff U Ungroup Unlock Up Uptime Value W Wake Wanted Wave Wear Weekday Weep West Whack Whimper Whip Whisper Who Wield Wiggle Will Wince Wink Withdraw Workout Worldstats Wriggle Write Yawn Yell Yelp ?

"I will formulate ... a general thesis about modernist fiction: the dominant of modernist fiction is epistemological. That is, modernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions such as ... "How can I interpert this world of which I am a part? And what am I in it?" Other typical modernist questions might be added: What is there to be known?; Who knows it?; How do they know it, and with what degree of certainty?; How is knowledge transmitted from one knower to another, and with what degree of reliability?; How does the object of knowledge change as it passes from knower to knower?; What are the limits of knowledge? And so on." --Brian McHale, Postmodernist Fiction (info)
