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.
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 & commenting on player activity and proving input to the adjudication process.
The tabs below describe some common questions you might have.
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 stakeholder isn't active on that channel)
The facilitator should inform you how to request information to better perform your function on the exercise. There may be a dedicated channel for RFIs within Conducttr or it maybe outside of Conducttr (for example in the videoconference chat).
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 commentable content. Click the bubble to leave a comment.
In addition to role-playing, you may have been asked to provide information to exercise control that will be used to adjudicate player activity and affect the evolution of the exercise. The facilitator will provide you with information how to do this.
