Phonetically saying words.
There seems to be some confusion in what is/isn't allowed so I'm bringing this question up to the new elects-
Our term was fine with saying things like El oh El instead of LOL. Is yours?

Re: Phonetically saying words.
That's how I've always seen it be enforced and I think it's fine

Re: Phonetically saying words.
From our term's headminbus discussion on this EPIC LEAK TIME SEE I CAN DO IT TOO KIETH YOU'RE NOT THAT SPECIAL :<
Phonetics are a higher effort form of netspeak, where the additional effort to root them outside of the realms of an online chat room and try to translate them directly into an IC equivalent, makes it fine.
That really summarises my stance on it. It is the ultimate compromise between disallowing netspeak, but accepting that SS13 has a lot of terminally online Peter Pan clones that unironically use netspeak "I arr ell". Myself very much included in that, of course. Even my old folks know what "bee arr bee" means when I need to take a cheeky slash in the lavs.Timberpoes — 21/08/2023 18:32
Also Manuel's playerbase has people with way more NRP quirks than flexing phonetics.
I'd argue flexing phonetics is totally within the spirit of all our RP servers.
Luh-mayo.
Or, as I do to trigger all my cousin's kids
"Ess em aitching my head."
Although I haven't gotten to the level of sarcastic i kay arr.
I still say "I know, right?" with sarcastic undertones.

If you get banned for that you'll see me getting another conduct warning on he forums for railing against shitty bans in peanut posts.

Deliberate phonetic vocalization just hits different from the letters

Re: Phonetically saying words.
I've never liked this, but if people see value in allowing it, I don't feel strongly enough to disagree.

People do this? Why not just use the laugh emote instead of saying LOL?

Re: Phonetically saying words.
Imagine saying luh-mayo instead of luh-maoh
I have a friend who says bee tee double-u all the time. I think it's fine.

Sam asked an assistant on the arrivals shuttle where to get a discord invite, and the assistant linked him one.

Re: Phonetically saying words.
Yeah, it's been enforced this way and we think it's fine to make yourself look like a dork to phonetically say something that'd normally be too OOC.
