# Core Rule 14 - Do not use LOOC or OOC to share current round information
Local Out of Character (LOOC) and Out of Character (OOC) channel are meant for things that don't relate to the current round. Using these channels to share round info is often referred to as "IC in OOC" or "ick ock".
- ## MRP Amendment
- Except in circumstances where it would be otherwise required to explain mechanics of the game, this rule is also extended to using LOOC to communicate with other players. Players should be using in-game in-character forms of communication, even when teaching new players.
-
## Examples
Things you should [color=#a4885c]not[/color] do:
- Use LOOC to tell someone you are an antagonist.
"Antag rolling" refers to a player abandoning their role if they do not get an antagonist role.
- ## MRP Amendment
- Players should be attempting to perform their assigned role duties. They should not be constantly leaving their department, or the station, unless required by their role (or they are an antagonist and are completing their objectives), to the point they have spent more time away from their department than in it.
-
## Examples
Acceptable:
- As an engineer, building a bar in maintenance while there is nothing important for engineering to do.
Don't perform other people's jobs, especially where the relevance to you personally is low. This also covers performing the role of security.
## MRP Amendment
- Players should not repeatedly change out of a role and into another, or repeatedly perform the duties of a role they are not. If you do not like playing a role, or do not want to play a role, you should be disabling it in the customization screen.
+ This is enforced more strictly on MRP.
