Maybe its just me, but i'd never assume someone is IC unless I overheard them rping/emoting o:
I had a funny case the other day, in another game, where I remarked to another player OOCly in /say 'oh, what a cute pet!'
Only, they took it as me trying to rp with them, and then accidental rp happened :0) it was fun, except the character I was on at the time never would've said 'oh what a cute pet!'
