PLEASE READ: Diction and EFU

[Equinox]

This is an important post regarding In-Character Diction, Language, and Slang in EfU

Lately the DM team has noticed an uptick in IC conversation styles that we don't find appropriate for our setting. We really want to encourage people to be expressive and enjoy their roleplay on our server, but that includes following a certain spirit of EfU.

Please consider these recommendations as a courtesy to other players who already value this spirit and find clashing choices of diction immersion-breaking, and because participating with these recommendations in mind is valuable to the integrity and quality of the gameworld.

The primary culprit is the use of contemporary slang by PCs. Words and phrases such as "cool" "whack" "bummed out"  "dude" used icly are really not appropriate for the setting we play within.

Whilst it is absolutely great to find a niche way to express your pc's individuality, perhaps considering the question "is this something I would hear in a LOTR movie or ASOIAF?" If the answer is "No" then perhaps it is wiser to find a more thematic alternative.

Thanks in advance and remember that the Efu DM team demands maximum satisfaction.
