Social MEME - cheers gemz_lee

This is a social meme, designed to increase the awareness that, with regards to LARP, in character does not equal out of character. Particularly with romance.

Please note the following:
I am not my characters. This is role play.
If you have met me while IC at a LARP, you have not met me, but my characters. This is role play.
If my character has declared their love for your character, I have not declared my love for you. This is role play.
If my character has slept with your character, I have not, nor am I going to, sleep with you, nor do you get any say over who I do sleep with. This is role play.
If you develop feelings for the person you meet while at a LARP event, you have not developed feelings for me, for you have not met me, but rather, you have them for my character. This is not role play, but it is also not my problem.

I bear no responsibility for your feelings, in much the same way as you bear no responsibility for mine. If one of us develops feelings, it is their responsibility to remove themselves from the situation before it effects their OOC lives and emotions.

If you disregard any of the above, you have no entitlement to keep playing with me, and no recourse to complaint when I sever all possible IC ties, as is my right when you have demonstrated a lack of in character to out of character divide.

If you support this, repost, in an attempt to stop IC/OOC misunderstandings at LARP.
