(Not sure if i read your post right, but i'll just reply with what I thought you meant)
I role-play sort of as a third person in view of my character. For example: "She walked down to the river and muttered to herself 'its damn hot out' as she lowered herself into the water." haha that was horrible but you guys get the point.

I think what thedumbmutt meant was, do you prefer to roleplay (IC) or just be yourself (OOC) when you're in the game? ^.^ From what you've said above, the third-character roleplay, would classify as IC (in character.) And by the way, your roleplay example wasn't horrible at all. :)

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

I'm always OOC because I never roleplay. I think I roleplayed once about 2 years ago, maybe i'll try again sometime but meh. I use FH as a big chat room really, just chill and talk to people.

For me, it's always a good variety of both.
Half the time, I sit there in Bonfire for a while, quietly stalking roleplays around me and chipping in OOC occasionally, and the other half I'm RPing IC.

I'm often hanging around some friends OOC, too, so 'ye, It's a good mixture of both IC and OOC-ness.

Haha, no problem. I spent a good portion of my time IC, too. ^.^

I tend to stay OOC unless a) I'm in a group, roleplaying or b) I've decided I'm going to roleplay with everyone I run into.

Whenever I'm OOC, even if I haven't been roleplaying, I use "))", though, so it's pretty easy to tell.

I'll match the style of whoever I'm talking to if they are OOC and are seeking a simply conversation I'll oblige if they come to me seeking a role play then I'll flop (like a squid in a glass bowl) over into IC behavior. Since normal OOC Jay is a lord master of apathy and a few of her characters are pretty good at apathy as well the switch over is not always clear but it happens.

I am a tad bit of both, but I mostly prefer to stay OOC. Chatting seems to do better for me, and keeps me happier than role-playing ever does.
