OOC
This term stands for Out Of Character. OOC refers to when you are speaking as the real you and are not commencing in roleplay. Using information from an OOC chat to assist you in, for example, catching a criminal counts as Metagaming (please see the Metagaming definition for more information).
IC
This term stands for In Character. In Character can be classified as anything you do as your roleplay character. IC chats include 911, Radio, Org, Local, Yell, Whisper, Private Message, phone calls and advertisements. The non-IC chats are any marked with OOC.
META
META or Metagaming refers to the use of non-IC information to assist you in a roleplay situation. META tends to be a confusing term for new role-players since it is very broad. An example of META gaming would be using information from the OOC (Out of Character) chat to find out that someone was growing weed. Those who break the Metagaming rule are usually banned for a modest amount of time, though some new players may receive a warning if they did not realize what META was.
FEAR-RP
FearRP is the idea that if you have a gun to you, you follow the orders of the player holding the gun. While under the influence of FearRP, the player cannot equip a weapon from his inventory, attempt to run away, call for help (if the captor has used the /me command to steal your communication devices), refuse to follow commands, anything that may fall under FailRP. If someone is mugged for money, they must comply and give over their cash. Another example of FearRP is if a cop has his weapon aimed at you or if you have been restrained by handcuffs. Failure to abide by FearRP will result in immediate punishment. This punishment can be anything from a ban of a few hours, to a few days. However, the time of the ban varies from server to server.
FAIL-RP
FailRP is the act of failing to roleplay. An example of FailRP is if a player is being arrested and walks into a fire/traffic to kill themselves. Another example is if a cop is going around hitting things randomly with his nightstick or hitting other cops around with it. Another example would be failing to follow FearRP. There are many ways to FailRP, but you can avoid it if you simply abide by all your server's rules. The normal punishment for a small FailRP is a kick or very short ban. However, upon multiple FailRP charges, the player may receive a more severe punishment.
