#1. SOCIALIZE. Just be yourself! Real Life (RL) is also called "OOC" (Out Of Character). You don't *have* to roleplay on the main Furcadia maps.#2. CHALLENGES. Games like checkers and go, puzzles of all sorts, are all part of Furcadian fun too. Visit the Puzzle Palace and put together a jigsaw puzzle. Or type CTRL-E to make your own map-- then go to Allegria Island, type CTRL-T, and other people can visit!
#3. PERSONA PLAY. Be someone else, make up a background history. Persona play is relaxed make-believe, let's-pretend. You don't *have* to be IC (In Character) but others will appreciate it. Please stick to our theme, which is non-human bipedal talking mammals. Learn about our official background at Talzhemir's Treasure Trove.
#4. ROLEPLAY. Like #3 but with Rules and Continuity (a coherent world where what happens today shapes future events). Official RP action takes place in the Harshlaw Underground, where OOC chat and play are not allowed. Roleplaying requires alot more reading and thinking than Persona Play. In RP we agree to use the Rule of Cool1 instead of the Consent Rule.
Furcadia defaults to Persona Play on the Main maps (communal "public-like" areas). We follow the Consent Rule here: If somebody says or poses something implying your cooperation, you can act like it didn't even happen.
