I find role playing to make games incredibly better and gives you much more flexibility. Early in games, there is often little to do but diplomacy, and doing it in character makes it more fun.

In addition, if a certain role is causing you terrible grief, there's always the coup, where your character is killed and a much more, er, usable character takes over. Or you can have a whole set of them, each useable for different kinds of dealings.

All in all, this lasts the whole game with enemies, neutrals, and if I am role playing an obvious scum bag, allies I may not want to keep (OK, never stabbed anyone yet, but I've kept the options open on occassion). For true allies, I often drop the role, though, as it tends to get in the way of open and efficient dealings.

I am always very careful about how I sign messages - either in character or using my real name - so people know how to take it. All in all, if it's from me, you can take it at face value. If it's from a character, caveat emptor.

Hope it helps,

Jeff
