Roleplay and Dominions 2

[Spacepain]

Often, while playing Dom2 with friends we all roleplay. Not necesarily in the actions in the game world other than ones demanded out of decred relation, but via the Messages and communication between eachother. We've thought that this had always added another unique quality to the game, and helped it to remain fun during lulls.

Is roleplay typical of dom2, or are we just oddballs?
