    [16:01] Raylon Loordes: we have a nice sized group and alot here I know a few I do not.....I am Raylon...can call me ray most do....thank you for coming tonight
    [16:02] Mas Sohl accepted your inventory offer.
    [16:02] Faith Diesel is Online
    [16:02] Raylon Loordes: the goal of this class is OOC Drama...what is it ...how to avoid it .... and what happens if you start it or are part of it
    [16:03] Raylon Loordes: who here can tell me what they think ooc drama is
    [16:03] Randal SpiritWeaver: arguing
    [16:03] Tobyus Flanagan: Taking something that happens ICly and moving it to OOC and whining about it.
    [16:03] Raylon Loordes: thats part of it yes good....
    [16:03] Dorain Silversmith: ooc drama are issues you the player have usualy caused by or involving things hapeningIC though not always just the ic
    [16:04] Krysta Ember: Its when someone takes something that happened IC and makes it all personal and emotional OOC....complaining, nagging, or harassing someone about what happened IC.
    [16:04] Dorain Silversmith: issues that you dun let drop or seek to have solved
    [16:04] Raylon Loordes: this is even in the ooc group channel.....or going off about a decision made by an ST or badmouthing someone behind thier back to other players....or badmouthing the sim to others
    [16:05] Raylon Loordes: say for example someone ims you with a smart comment about an rp that you have done...what do you think you should say or do
    [16:05] Talisa Shriner: ((Talisa Shriner has entered the area.))
    [16:05] Raylon Loordes: hello talisa
    [16:06] Krysta Ember: I normally ignore it and close the IM. Done.
    [16:06] Raylon Loordes: thats one way to handle it
    [16:06] Dorain Silversmith: ignore it or log out if you can not till you calm down.
    [16:06] Salbar van Hohenheime: ((Salbar Skytower has entered the area.))
    [16:07] Raylon Loordes: if someone is coming down on you in IMs or you see ooc drama happening....you can either ignore it....or call for an SP....a moderator or SP are the ones that handle these types of issues....what do you think happens when there is ooc drama between players
    [16:07] Krysta Ember: A mediator steps in?
    [16:07] Vedis Seid: *grins* we eat them!
    [16:08] Vedis Seid: *ducks and hides*
    [16:08] Raylon Loordes: hehe
    [16:08] Dorain Silversmith: really? Vedis I got a few names for you if your hungry
    [16:08] Dorain Silversmith: lol joking
    [16:08] Raylon Loordes: no Krysta...the moderators are the mediators
    [16:08] Vedis Seid: Senior Players are now called Moderators.
    [16:09] Vedis Seid: To keep them seperate from Story Tellers...
    [16:09] Raylon Loordes: once ooc drama starts it is ver hard to stop or contain....we can lose very wonderful players...storylines could be halted and disappear....the culprits are warned once, docked once and heavily might I add...and then banned plain and simple....this is a very serious thing here and it can ruin a sim
    [16:10] Raylon Loordes: plus it makes more work for the moderators and well...we dont get to rp...which makes us very very sad.....trust me you dont want us sad ;)
    [16:10] Krysta Ember: :(
    [16:11] Vedis Seid: *chuckles* you really don't.
    [16:11] Dorain Silversmith: Yeah some of us wanna rp with some of you sp's mod's whatever your called now
    [16:11] Raylon Loordes: and to be honest it doesnt matter who started it either...we are a fair system...all parties involved in ooc drama nasty words not doing things the way they should all will get punished
    [16:11] EdmundBlack Adder waves at Dedis
    [16:11] Raylon Loordes: lol dorain
    [16:11] Salbar Skytower: I know that a player made a HUGE OOC drama because I called her: Traitor and pathetic being IC...
    [16:11] EdmundBlack Adder: Vedis
    [16:11] Vedis Seid: *waves back*
    [16:11] Salbar Skytower: funny as hell but in the end she left the sim... not my problem though :O
    [16:12] Raylon Loordes: vedis and I are prime examples...oocly we are the niceest people one can meet...ICly yeah not so much LOL
    [16:12] Vedis Seid: *grins*
    [16:12] Dorain Silversmith: heh ~rubs throat~ I can attext to that
    [16:12] Vedis Seid: It IS a dark rp sim for a reason.
    [16:12] Dorain Silversmith: atest
    [16:12] Salbar Skytower: Aye
    [16:12] Talisa Shriner: exactly Vedis
    [16:12] Raylon Loordes: thing is you are in control of it...if it starts either handle it diplomatically or call for a moderator or ignore it....when the game stops being fun it stops being worth it
    [16:13] Talisa Shriner: i rahter like the dark and hostile characters
    [16:13] Krysta Ember: Amen
    [16:13] Raylon Loordes: hehe dorain...you know me well
    [16:13] Vedis Seid: *grins*
    [16:13] Dorain Silversmith: muahhh
    [16:13] Raylon Loordes: are there any questions or concerns?
    [16:13] EdmundBlack Adder: is ok with the dark, not so much the hostile.
    [16:13] Raylon Loordes: *blows Dorain a kiss and winks at Kiba*
    [16:13] Dorain Silversmith: yeah Igot on
    [16:14] Raylon Loordes: this is a hostile place...dark rp means rape murder mayhem....but it is RP only...it isnt real you are a pixel do not let it get your anger up
    [16:14] Raylon Loordes: go ahead dorain
    [16:14] EdmundBlack Adder waves at Constable Sohl
    [16:14] Mas Sohl salutes crisply
    [16:14] Dorain Silversmith: hypothetical situation .. take me oocly I'm a greeter and DJ here..
    [16:14] Raylon Loordes: ok
    [16:14] Tobyus Flanagan: Not all characters are going to greet you, smiling and patting you on the back. This isn't Disney.
    [16:15] Mas Sohl: Thank gods,Disney makes me want to puke.
    [16:15] Vedis Seid: *nods*
    [16:15] Raylon Loordes: disney is for 5 year olds we are all adults here
    [16:15] Dorain Silversmith: say that there is an indivual who has in my im's made fun of the fact that I have to use a text only viewer while djing. and can't always find the song requested.
    [16:15] Lux Tharnaby is Offline
    [16:15] Raylon Loordes: there are two ways to handle that
    [16:15] Mas Sohl: Well,Fantasia was pretty dark,remember Mickey with the axe?
    [16:15] Vedis Seid: sorry I'm being called away.
    [16:15] Mas Sohl hushes
    [16:16] Dorain Silversmith: it's not ic.. does it count?
    [16:16] Raylon Loordes: joke it off and say yeah well not everyone can afford a super computer.......
    [16:16] Raylon Loordes: yes it does
    [16:16] Raylon Loordes: OOC drama is anything that is a defamation of your being or treating rudely in ims or out of character
    [16:16] EdmundBlack Adder: relegate them to the trash heap of the poorly raised
    [16:16] Raylon Loordes: it doesnt just pertain to ic situations....ooc drama is any type of dispute or issue that is not rp
    [16:17] Talisa Shriner: question please
    [16:17] Raylon Loordes: also you can call a moderator is it gets out of hand say you calmly explained to them and they kept on going
    [16:17] Raylon Loordes: of course talisa
    [16:17] Talisa Shriner: thank you
    [16:18] Talisa Shriner: i have noticed some RP where hostility OOCly gets transferred in emotes IC....does that make sense? I am not sure what its called but it happens
    [16:18] Raylon Loordes: it is called ooc drama
    [16:18] Mas Sohl: ...Drama Llama
    [16:18] Raylon Loordes: you do not take out your frustrations on someone ICly if your frustration is OOC and vice versa
    [16:18] Dorain Silversmith: argh... gotta go afk
    [16:19] Raylon Loordes: it is simple....rp is rp....and ooc is that ooc .....anything that is an issue oocly needs to be dealt with carefully....NEVER take frustrations out from rp into ooc and vice versa
    [16:19] Legacies 1891 - Orientation proudly welcomes Annola Broderick who has gone through the complete Orientation Pack and has become the newest Role Playing Citizen :)
    [16:20] EdmundBlack Adder: Huzzah!
    [16:21] Raylon Loordes: this is not tollerated and makes for very serious issues.....please I beg of everyone here....if you see ooc drama or you are part of it or the victim of it...call a moderator immediately
    [16:22] edgar96 Gravois is Online
    [16:22] Dorain Silversmith: I would like to say something about that
    [16:23] Raylon Loordes: I appologize all nature calls give me one moment talk amongst yourselves LOL
    [16:23] EdmundBlack Adder briefly wonders if Dorian has a portrait of nhimself stashed away somewhere, al al Doriuan Gray.
    [16:23] Dorain Silversmith: I do have alts.. though I keepthem well hidden.. those who need to know know..
    [16:23] Dorain Silversmith: but
    [16:23] Dorain Silversmith: one of my alts randomly went after another player..
    [16:24] Dorain Silversmith: it was bored and when it gets bored it randomly picks someone
    [16:24] Raylon Loordes: back
    [16:24] Dorain Silversmith: that player didn't know it was me of course.. but they thought I had something against them oocly
    [16:24] Dorain Silversmith: which I didn't
    [16:25] Dorain Silversmith: it was just apart of my chara
    [16:25] Talisa Shriner: nods
    [16:25] Dorain Silversmith: luckly they imed my chara and asked..
    [16:26] Mahadia Voom is Online
    [16:26] Dorain Silversmith: and I told them the ic reason thenalso just to prove the point worked it into my next post
    [16:26] Raylon Loordes: and for the love of the gods...someone does something you dont like please do not IM everyone you know to tell them about it that is another form of it
    [16:26] Mas Sohl: Rumors suck.
    [16:27] Mas Sohl: but they are hard to resist
    [16:27] Raylon Loordes: I'm going to say something that will make it easier to deal with should it happen to you
    [16:27] Dorain Silversmith: I dun.. I just IM you or mateem :p
    [16:27] Raylon Loordes: There are three sides to every story....yours the others and the truth
    [16:28] Raylon Loordes: you see things the other sees things....but someone else is going to see things you dont.....people read emotion into typing that may or may not be there....that is very dangerous and that is how these issues start
    [16:28] EdmundBlack Adder: a limitation of our medium of communication
    [16:28] Mahadia Voom is Offline
    [16:29] Raylon Loordes: jusat because someone is an ass in rp doesnt mean they are that in real life....I know plenty that icly I honestly cant stand them yet in ims and ooc they are very close to me

    [16:31] EdmundBlack Adder: Yes, I'd prefer not to have anyone
    [16:31] Raylon Loordes: everyone understand the extent of ooc drama what it is...what it does...and what to do if you find yourself in it?
    [16:31] EdmundBlack Adder: sanyione's ass on me unless 've ass-d for it
    [16:31] Tobyus Flanagan: /-nods-
