TLOPO Roleplaying

To loosely define it, roleplaying is when one assumes a role for a specific purpose. There are many forms of roleplaying that take place on TLOPO. The most common form of this is piracy, right when your pirate is creating, you roleplay as a pirate. This is the role that most players take. However, some roleplay as members of the East India Trading Company, a Spanish or French privateer, the leader of a kingdom, or perhaps an Undead.

There are many ways to roleplay in the game, and no one way is better than the other. It is all based on personal preference. The following outline will explain the majority of mechanics related to in-game roleplaying. But before you read, remember that roleplaying doesn't mean you have to go all out, doing something such as taking the role of a Dutch trader seeking to buy cotton. Roleplaying can be as simple as having a duel with another player in which you get creative without the use of PvP, and hacking and slashing away.
