Use OOC in local chat only if you need to address everyone in the vicinity. If you must direct OOC communication to a specific person, please do so in IMs. Most roleplay SIMs (including Asphyxiation Point) limit OOC text in local chat. OOC brackets (( )) : Using (( )) around your text let's other role-players know that it is you (the typist) and not your character who is speaking.For example if your Second life display name is Hendrix, typing "/me looks at you" would appear as "John looks at you" It is similar to speaking in local chat except that you add "/me" in front. Emote text : You usually use it when your character is doing something as they are speaking or doing something that doesn't involve speech at all.
So if your display name is John, typing "What's up man?" in local chat would appear as "John : What's up man?". Note that the text in local chat is identified by your second life display name. There's no need for quotation marks, as it's obvious that you're speaking aloud.
When speaking in local chat, there's a few different ways to communicate.
More importantly it helps to actively separate OOC / IC by reserving IMs and group chat for OOC chatter alone. This is both to improve immersion and to let everyone to join in. On an RP SIM, roleplay occurs directly in local chat.
