Second Life Etiquette Tip 2: You Will Not Be Harmed..

... so don't let In-World Roleplay upset you



Roleplaying, or RP, is just one of the many forms of escapism that Second Life offers. Whether it's Gorean, Steampunk, Vampires, Cyberpunk, Roman, Capture-play, etc., if there's a group out there with a taste for a certain "something", there's a sim out there dedicated to it. Even, dare I say it, 19th century naval organizations. Some of these RP sims can be quite pervasive and almost overwhelming. Remember, don't lose sight of the basic reality; you can always opt to not participate. It is not real! You cannot be harmed-- at the very least, your AVI may pop out of that sim and reemerge elsewhere. If something's not your cup of tea, say so, in double brackets, (( Like this )). The folks running the sim OUGHT to get the idea, fairly quickly. Always remember, however, this is THEIR sim, THEIR rules. If you can't play by them, then the logical course of action is to find another opportunity for RP elsewhere.
