# Common Terminology

Here you'll find a list of phrases or words that are commonly used around the server to describe a role, type of roleplay, etc. If you're new, many of these won't be of great use to you yet, but it'll help you to understand what they mean.

***

## IC or ICly

This means In-Character, or in roleplaying.

***

## OOC or OOCly

This means Out-Of-Character, or out of roleplay.

***

## Faction

A faction is a large group of individuals that occupy a roleplay role within the server, e.g. Teacher Faction, or Police Faction. All factions are lead by a singular 'Faction Lead' which is usually a member of the server's staff team.

***

## P2K

This means 'Perms 2 Know', this is typically used by players in OOC channels to ask you for permission to know your character In-Character, example: ![](https://1412452601-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5A1d2XQdboRZ7YejKfVh%2Fuploads%2F5ScKPYijmOKbsxcwZW9F%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=d13c1bd9-05ed-4a29-9b7d-0fc77e4273db)

By allowing someone P2K the player would already know your character's name, skipping the process of your character introducing themselves ICly

***

## Void

Voiding a roleplay situation would mean that the situation the player is 'voiding' would no longer have happened, effectively erasing it from roleplay. *This can only occur in certain situations where all parties involved agree to void, or a staff member confirms a rule was broken and thus voids the situation.*

***

## Greenie

This is a friendly term to describe new players due to their green tag. *If a player is being rude, or toxic, please report them to online staff via* [*General Support*](https://faq.schoolrp.net/support/general-questions)*.*
