I don't like it when people act all high and mighty hiding behind their "roleplay" and won't take a few minutes to clear things up (especially when the victim is a newbie). I'm sure that if your trying to get empowered or what ever the imms will understand if you try to explain to newbie.

I usually persist, maybe dropping hints, but I have never found a situation where I need to speak with another mortal OOC. Certain prayers and special commands merit it (bug reports, rules violations, etc.), but I've found that even the newest of the new will come around if you are consistent enough.
