If it the standard DIKU RP-encouraged, or required, or intensive, or allowed, I'd assume it is -not- rude to keep OOC stuff to yourself, with specific exceptions regarding consent for mudsex/torture, and if it says otherwise in their game policies.

If it was a MUSH-type RP game, I'd assume there'd be a policy regarding "sharing" or whatever term they use for it.

Personally I wouldn't play a game where sharing was expected. Even in the non-RPI's I've played, what my character was up to, was her business, until SHE was ready to divulge it to someone else. I wasn't ever expected to inform the player. Except as I said - when it comes to consent. Consent being "I am about to kill you (-right now- not a month from now and not after I've planned it out." Consent to PvP?"
