Role-Playing

If you're a role-player then you've been asked to play a stakeholder who isn't you. 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.

Please check the stakeholder you're role-playing each time you change channel.

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 & commenting on player activity and proving 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 videoconference 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 wil be used to adjudicate player activity and affect the evolution of the exercise. The Faciliator will provide you with information on how to do this.

Using email

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).
