The concept of `In-Character` (IC) and `Out-Of-Character` (OOC) is very
important to LOTJ's roleplay. Players are not allowed to discuss IC things out
of character. Items that are considered IC should not be discussed out of
character include:

- Locations of Mobs, Objects, Planets, Ships, Characters
- What your character plans to do, what your character is doing
- Events that have happened to your character or another character on the MUD
- Who is attacking you or other characters
- What clan you are a member of, what your clan is planning to do

OOC also refers to our global chat channel. A (NEWBIE) tag will appear next to
your character (or account) name while using OOC until you reach level 100 in
any class. This is to ensure that our experienced players will know to help you
out! While we have no issues with everyone blowing off a little steam, sharing
their favorite links, or discussing things going on in the world, you must
understand that this is a PG-13 MUD.

Rule 14: Do not disrespect, insult, complain about, troll, or harass other
players, the RPC, or Immortals. Everyone is here for the enjoyment
of the game. If you disrupt that enjoyment with insults your channel
privileges will be revoked.

In-Game Communication
The commnet is the primary global in-game channel, accessed using a comlink.
Channel 0 is the most common frequency, but comlinks can be tuned all the way
up to 9999. There are various other ways to communicate with others, including
CLANTALK for your clan. Both of these require a comlink. TRANSMIT requires a
holographic transmitter in the room, and can be used to speak to characters
across the galaxy while relaying their image to the room that you are in and
vice-versa. You can also BROADCAST and NETWORKHACK from broadcast-flagged rooms
across the galaxy in order to get your message out to the largest possible
audience if you have the skill.
