I know that in my mud we can easily tell the difference between an IC tell and a OOC tell. I mean, - XXX tells you, "Might you assist me in finding a place as to where I can purchase a well crafted sword?" - It isn't hard to tell this is an IC tell compared to - XXX tells you, "dude, ya wanna help me find a neat sword?" - In my mud if the tell is IC it is usually interpreted as a note/letter that has been given to you.
So IC tells aren't bad RP, they can be used for very good RP if you use them right.
