Kaerwyn has a lot of terms which are peculiar to it, and are often quite messed up.
--Ops, might want to try to keep this in alphabetical order. Might also help to link to articles about this stuff, like metagaming on wikipedia.
- BSL: Bar, short leg. Bow's favorite spot. Its the short part of the L-shaped bar.
- Camera (Acting the Camera): This is when a character performs only the essential "once every few minutes" action to not idle in the IC, but makes no effort to actually interact or contribute to the RP. Essentially, the character is in play so the Mun can watch the others, no other reason.
- Cliques, Cliquing: A small, exclusive group of characters or players. It is generally considered a problem - especially when other players cannot join in on RP sessions because of cliquing between certain players.
- CS: Character Sheet
- Funkilling: When someone ruins it for everyone else.
- Green Diamond: (GD) Comes in Two Flavors, one that is acceptable: Used for situations where one character just happens upon the scene of RP. One that is less acceptable: When a mun plays a character in a way that the character would not normally behave because of a mun's desire or need. Reference: The Sims
