OOC: Out of Character- Mostly used in something said as you, the player and not your character. Ex:

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Alfarinn said in whispered hiss. Had she lost her mind?

((OOC: He's mad, I'm amused.))

You could also use it to ask questions instead of a PM to clarify something for your character that might not have been in the other character's writing.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Alfarinn said in whispered hiss. Had she lost her mind?

((OOC: Does she seem upset with him? ))

IC: In character - This is information said as your character or threads and forums where you should respond as your character.

Ex: The nightclubs would be IC forums where you should post as your character. The intro forum is an OOC forum where you could ask questions and post ideas as a player.

PM - Private Message

IM - Instant Message
