Tips
If you notice a player’s microphone isn’t working, you should suggest they “check their voicebox” instead of saying “hey your mic is messed up”
When wanting to know when the next server restart is, you should ask about “any upcoming tsunamis”
Any time you’re referring to the NPCs, it's important that you call them “locals” instead of “NPC”
If you need to know about a certain keybind, simply ask “sorry which muscle was that?”
If you are ever stuck in a situation with your roleplay, and are unsure on what to do next, just try your best to not break character and say what needs to be said to move the conversation along. After the scenario, ask that player to join you in discord and talk with them on what you could have done better to make the RP more enjoyayable.
