What an emote does
An emote describes what your character does and says. Give the other players an observable action rather than deciding how their characters respond. For example: "She sets the unopened letter on the table and waits beside the door." That offers a clear action without claiming anyone is frightened or impressed.
The repository describes roleplay as a shared cast rather than a single protagonist. Give other characters meaningful parts in your plans. Conflict can create scenes but constantly demanding the spotlight tends to end them.
02 / Getting started
Places and privacy
A room can contain smaller named places. join <place> moves you into one. join without an argument leaves it. At a place you can use subtle for emotes addressed to people there and the place behaviour of whisper for quieter conversation. Read the individual command help before assuming a message is private.
03 / Getting started
Keep the boundaries clear
Player knowledge is not character knowledge. Reading a biography or a forum discussion does not give your character that information. Keep fictional hostility in the fiction. The rules prohibit out-of-character harassment and bug abuse.
The rules also prohibit earning roleplay rewards through gibberish or prewritten or aliased emotes. Treat command shortcuts and reward farming as different things.
