Role playing

Is there any way to define if your "in character" or role playing? It can be quite irritating when your
wanting to play and someone is role playing and your not. Especially when you try to inform them your playing the game for fun and they start in by saying, " I can see you don't follow chain of command captain and threaten to kick you". It's irritating and annoying for both types of players I'm sure.

    If they continue to be in character and don't respond to you with any useful assistance, then they're not really role playing very well.

    And you should just, at that point, do whatever you would normally do.

    I've had some good RP experiences in STO. And some horrid ones.

    Hi there. I'm one of the Rpers from the nightly sessions at Quarks.

    Whenever we want to say something out of character, we preface that text with "((". It makes it easier to tell when the character is speaking, and when the driver is speaking.

    A good example would be

    Jaiden Stark: I must return to my ship.
    Jaiden Stark: (( Back in a few minutes, everyone...
