Welcome to IST Roleplay.
As a starting or existing player of IST Roleplay, you must need to know the chatting keybinds–when and why to use them.
Keybinds are important to roleplay chatting. This makes creating expressions, doing actions and chatting off-topic easy. If we all use the same keybinds for roleplay, this will make roleplaying much more fun and clear.
1. Off-topic (//)
This keybind is used when you need to say something non-roleplayed. For example, ‘Imma leave’ (in the way of leaving an experience) requires a ‘//’ after it.
Additional questions
When to use?
Use the off-topic keybind (//) behind your phrase. Use the key while you have to say something not belonging to roleplay conversations.
When do i not use this key?
If you’re conversating with another character as roleplaying, you should not use this keybind.
