Chatrooms permit an immediacy of interaction that is especially conducive to IC play and suspension of disbelief.  Voice interaction - as with TeamSpeak or Ventrilo - has some advantages, but it's real disadvantage is that it does not permit players to describe their characters' actions with fluidity.  This can be done in a text communication by using certain notations with each post.

The following examples will be using the storyline (SL) of two capsuleers - Anthim Planckera and Halbardine - as they meet on a planet's surface between missions.  An SL is simply an ongoing narrative thread that players can use to facilitate IC play - it may be inspired by a chronicle, or concern a forum post or news item, or it may concern only the players involved.  A role-playing SL doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the in-game SL agents or missions.
