there’s no such thing as “inciting mg”, there is only actual metagame which can only be done by the person reading the /me

Well said. It is inciting MG. Other characters aren't mind readers, they wouldn't know why you're cringing.

That's practically metagaming though. From a writing perspective, it sounds better than just */me cringes. But it's practically metagaming nonetheless. What if I told you that you can emote in a way where it's both storytelling rewarding as well as appropriate for /me & /do etiquette? */me finds himself staring at John's lips for a good second. Eventually he snaps out of it, shakes his head and visibly cringes. You're welcome 😤 Applies to @Fantasia too. PS: I'm talking about actually doing it in-game, not how you write/present it on "rp screenshots" in the forums. That's different.

Now I've been roleplaying with LSRP community since 2007, I'm not sure where this has changed but I've seen an increasing amount of RP that doesn't meet the criteria of /me. For example The other day I experienced - /me thinks he has a headache. Now for me, that is a misuse of /me. The way I was brought into LSRP was /me is an action and /do Is used to explain something that is in front of you or your appearance. Here are a few examples : /me reaches down to tie his shoelace as he peers up to Michael Hill. /do Francis would be wearing a pair of Clarkes shoes that are pristine black leather. Now I understand the world evolves and roleplay evolves but I think /me's and /do's are constantly being misused. I'm not here to slate other people roleplay but it would be nice to clear up what people think /me and do's should be used for.

Sorry, but this kind of thinking leads to even poorer quality roleplay. The lines you draw here are not at all accurate to the boundaries of /me and /do, allow me to explain why... Roleplaying is about telling a story, and /me and /do are the "stage actions" of that story. While you're correct that thoughts themselves probably are not appropriate, it is perfectly valid to fill in additional stage details like: "/me does not realize his mistake" or "/do John smells like cheese." As this all contributes toward painting a more accurate picture. In fact, roleplaying a thought may take on a slightly different form and be valid: that of physical reaction to the thought: "/me cringes at the thought of himself and John kissing" is far more descriptive to the scene than that of a simple "/me cringes".

/me sends positive vibes.

Have you been experiencing this sort of roleplay too?

congrats @GiamPy!! looking forward for that "little surprise" you added to the GM ahah 😉 (ITALIAN SECRET!)
