Roleplay commands

Roleplay Project is text-based. Mastering these commands is the difference between feeling stuck and feeling like you're inside a scene.

# In-character actions

# /me

Describes something your character is doing that other people can see.

/me lights a cigarette and exhales slowly, looking out at the bay.

Show, don't tell. Use /me for visible body language, expressions, and physical actions.

# /do

Narrates something a player would otherwise have no way to know — environmental detail, inferred state, what an item looks like up close.

/do The duffel bag contains roughly $2,000 in mixed bills, mostly twenties.

/do answers questions like "what does X look like?" or "would I notice…?". It should never be used for your own internal thoughts — keep that in your head.

# /ame

Like /me, but the text floats above your character's head instead of going to chat. Useful for short, glance-readable actions:

/ame checks phone

# /b and /lo

Short out-of-character asides. Local-OOC — only nearby players see it. Use sparingly:

/b brb afk for 2 mins

For longer OOC discussion, take it out of channel — Discord works, or /pm.

# Communication

# /lo / /low

Local low-volume IC speech (whisper). Only the closest 5m or so hear it.

# /sho

Local high-volume IC speech (shout). Wider range than normal speech.

# /pm / /r

Out-of-character private message. /r replies to the most recent /pm. Don't OOC-coordinate IC actions through PMs.

# /news, /dept, /fchat

Channels for specific groups — Weazel News reporters, government departments, factions. Joining a faction or department gives you the channel automatically.

# Identifying yourself

# /id

Shows you a list of nearby players' player IDs (the number an admin uses to refer to you). It does not reveal real names — you only see "Player 47" until they identify themselves IC.

# /cid

If you've actually been told someone's name in-character, you can use /cid to display the proper character name above their nametag for yourself going forward.

# Help & reports

# /help

Paginated command reference, grouped by category.

# /report

Files a ticket. Use this for:

• Bugs that broke a system or stuck you somewhere.
• Admin reports — rule-breaking, harassment, suspected cheating.
• Stuck-character escapes — falling through map, frozen ped.

Reports go to the /reports admin panel and notify on-duty staff. You'll get a response in DMs or via /rreply.

# /rreply

Reply to your most recent admin response without losing scene context.

# /admin

Quick alternative to /report for a fast question — same destination.

# Etiquette

A short list of dos and don'ts that staff care about:

• Don't power-game. /me grabs the player and slams them into the wall requires the other player's consent via /do can I…? first.
• Don't metagame. Information you saw in /b, on Discord, or via Twitch isn't your character's. Act on what your character actually knows in-scene.
• Don't break character casually. Use /b only when essential.
• Don't combat-log. Quitting mid-scene to avoid consequences is a serious offence.
• Respect FailRP rules. No driving like a maniac through downtown unless your character actually would.

The full ruleset lives at /rules.
