In game, OOC text is generally denoted by ((saying things in parentheses)) or [brackets]. This is only necessary when you are in a role playing situation, though. If you are speaking in a linkpearl that is strictly used OOCly (such as Backstage/Intermission) there is no need for them as it is assumed that you are OOC.
When emoting, people use their prefered style. I see many people use *asterisks* or -dashes- to denote an action during their speech.
/s -smiles wryly- Well met!
Aysun Demiir: -smiles wryly- Well met!
However, we also have the /em command at our disposal. Typing /em and then your action is common and in those situations people simply use quotes to denote speech, much like narrating a story.
/em bows, "Well met!"
Aysun Demiir bows, "Well met!"
Use whatever you are most comfortable doing! We can usually figure it out.
All of the role playing linkshells I have seen are international. That being said, timezones usually don't matter much, as people are up at varying hours no matter where they are!
