Particracy was a text-based online polsim game originally created by Wouter. It's most commonly referred to as Particracy Classic. The game offered an in-game experience, on top of which the community has created and maintained a layer of roleplay (RP) throughout the decades. After it's shutdown the community has - during a transitionary phase - solely relied on forum based roleplay to further develop the fictional universe. As part of enhancing the roleplay aspect of the game, GreekIdiot created what's referred to as the Legacy Edition, available on these forums https://forum.prtcy.com/ and the immersive interface at https://prtcy.com/. In 2026 the community started to reintroduce game-mechanics dubbed PT:Reborn (abrev. PT:R). PT:R is being maintained and developed by Zanz available on https://ptr.zanz2.dev/.

I thought I would repost the old discussions on the guide to improving RP from the old Forum. It starts with my discussion about the Kayfabe, which is a wrestling term that allows for willing suspension of disbelief among the audience. It is especially appropriate, both in politics (i.e. most political actors, media actors, and etc know that the outrage is all kayfabe, but most people do not, so they believe the show these politicians perform is real...) and scripted RP like PT. It also offers a guide for new players (older players will benefit too), and a suggestion for Military RPs, all written by long time players with literally decades of combined experience with PT.

This is NOT the rule. You do NOT have to abide by it. It is merely a suggestion that you can choose to incorporate in your RP, to get a new perspective on just what it is we are doing here. Many people used to play this game this way, but we have gotten away from it after we left Classic, because (I suspect) most people simply didn't know it was an option or a possibility.

The three contributors to this "guide" of sorts are myself Zanz and James, and I will note their contributions, as well as the dates which they made them. Some of this stuff might not apply anymore (especially discussion about RP team) but I will leave that in because on a general, conceptual level, it is still good information to have even if it describes some mechanics that no longer exist. I would certainly welcome other additions from people who have their own suggestions for improving RP from a more modern perspective.

These posts are quite long, but I think are worth the read for people who are trying to enhance or improve their RP, and if nothing else it is useful perspectives from people who have been playing this game an awfully long time that you might find some value it.]]>
