> When dealing with obvious newbies, telling them directly will benefit them more (which is the aim -- right?). Who cares if your character goes OOC for one moment for the greater good. Saying "Look mate, stay IC (in character), don't mention your other characters or how good you are at this "game", that is OOC (out of character)" would be much more beneficial. And that'd be all it takes for most newbies. On top of this, perhaps up your emotes and roleplaying to give him the general idea. That is, of course, if you give two shits about him going OOC :P You could humour him and ask him about how good his bard is :P > P.S. I had to resort to these blatant, straight to the point tactics for a certain Woru once upon a time (in between killing him naturally),
