You're playing a role - hence "role-player". ## The basics If you've been given an email address and a password, then when you log in, you'll see your primary identity in the top left corner of the screen. It's this person that you're pretending to be. Note that you may also be impersonating other, additional stakeholders. You'll be able to inhabit these stakeholders via drop-downs at important places in the channel. {% hint style="info" %} Please check the stakeholder you're role-playing each time you change channel. {% endhint %} The image below shows Conducttr's Virtual Desktop. Note that it is customisable by the exercise designer and so the channel icons could look quite different.

### Other role-player activities Usually a person is asked to play a role because they have subject matter expertise. This means you are a valuable person to have on the exercise and may be asked to perform other duties such as reviewing and commenting on player activity and providing input to the adjudication process. #### Impersonation The permission to impersonate stakeholders is given by the Facilitator. Ask them to enable someone if it's missing from a drop-down list (or it could be that the stakeholder isn't active on that channel). #### Requests for information The Facilitator should inform you how to request information to better perform your function in the exercise. There may be a dedicated channel for RFIs within Conducttr or it may be outside of Conducttr e.g. in the video conference chat. #### After-Action Review (AAR) You may have been asked to comment or review player activity in addition to role-playing. If this is true, you'll see a "thought bubble" on comment-able content. Click the bubble to leave a comment.

#### Adjudication In addition to role-playing, you may have been asked to provide information to EXCON (exercise control) that will be used to adjudicate player activity and affect the evolution of the exercise. The Facilitator will provide you with information on how to do this. ## Using email {% hint style="info" %} Content published by the exercise will appear in your SENT folder because it's been sent by you (or at least the stakeholder you're pretending to be). {% endhint %}

## Using social media {% hint style="info" %} Social media works as it does in real life. Your feed will only show content from people you follow. Use the spyglass (magnifying glass) to see all Tweets {% endhint %}

## Using Communications Manager You can also use our Comms Manager in Social Watch to get an overview of all impersonation during an exercise. {% hint style="info" %} To find out more about the Communications Manager, visit the page below: {% endhint %} {% content-ref url="/pages/R9WOasL1E5iaq7QQIF7f" %} [Communications Manager](/feature-documentation/designing-and-running/channels/monitoring-and-alerting-channels/social-watch/communications-manager.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://helpdocs.conducttr.com/player-guide/role-playing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
