Bottom post of the previous page:
Lifeweb also enforces it a bit by roles being proficient in certain things. The only people who can do surgery are the Escalup and Serpents, the Baron despite being the "captain" is mediocre in doing anything, only the Innkeeper can make great food, etc, etc. The game play mechanics heavily encourage roleplay and interaction as no single person can do everything by themselves.The critical difference is that CM admins actually make an effort to enforce a moderate amount of roleplay and will and do ban players for acting uncharacteristically. They are not as extreme as HRP servers but they do expected a modicum of realism, such as a Grunt Marine not knowing how to perform surgery, or an engineer being able to operate a complicated personal weapons system.
We have none of that, a Assistant can be just as good as surgery as the Chief Medical Officer, a Botanist can be just as trained in complex weapons as a Syndicate Nuclear Operative, a miner can undertake research as well as a qualified Scientist, etc, etc.
I'm not suggesting we need to change anything, but this is what the reality is. There is no incentive to roleplay, both in administration and gameplay mechanics.
