I only knew a handful of the people roleplaying at the grindstone or some of those I've done combat scenes but rarely have I had to go OOC for purpose of the combat direction.
The only person I say I would have ever had such an issue wherein I might even consider the format was a person who I saw needed to get godmodded down into death by calling in an entire linkshell and FC of friends.
The format's pretty good for total strangers, but as many have intimated here, it's an old-fashioned courtesy. Â It used to be a requirement, but now it's normally a sign someone's kind of old fashioned and cares about the form from education. Â It's definitely good to use from my experience, but a lot of RPers not five or ten years younger than me might not have even heard of it until they see someone using it and wonder WTF they're talking about.
