Quote :: What is roleplay?:
Role-playing means 'playing' a role like you would do in real life, but this time in a game. For example, in real life cops chase people who break the law, for whatever reason - you can become an officer in game and do the same, you can role-play a cop and pull over speeders, or do drug raids, the list goes on... On the other hand, you can be a mobster and join a Mafia. You can be a robber and rob banks or people. Naturally the cops would suspect you for it and there would be a chase, like in real life. However, killing someone and saying "I am a murderer, now come get me cops" with the sole intention of deathmatching (killing someone without a role-play reason) is NOT role-play. That is deathmatching and will be dealt with by the administration with immediate effect.

The Roleplaying Commands:

The Role-Playing Commands

/me - The '/me' command is created solely for roleplay. It is a basic action command.
Usage: /me looks up in the sky.
Player(1) looks up in the sky.

/em - The '/em' command has been created for roleplay. A suggested use could be to announce a sort of atmosphere.
Usage: /em Weird noises can be heard from the inside the room
Wierd noises can be heard from the inside the room (Player(1))

/L - The '/L' command has been created for local chat. This means if you are close to someone in game you may talk to them using '/L'.
Usage: /L Hello, Nice to meet you.
Player(1) says: Hello, Nice to meet you.

/S - The '/S' command has been created for local chat. This is different to /L as it is still local chat but it refers to shouting to people close to you.
Usage: /S Stop
Player(1) shouts: Stop!!

/W - The '/W' command has been created for local chat. This is used to whisper to people close to you, you must be a certain distance close to someone to use it.
Usage: /w take cover!
Player(1) whispers: take cover!

Overusing /me

While /me is the basic RP command, many players overuse it.
Gandalf takes out a gun.
Gandalf walks to the door.
Gandalf sits down.
All of these are actions which are visible for other players. To double them by /me has no added value. SA-MP is not a text-based or MSN RP, but one with full animated capabilities. Use them.
