Such a set-up is fragile in nature, and would be unlikely to occur among a group of close friends, so it won’t come as much of a surprise to hear that a group of random people with a great deal of anonymity lack the co-ordination required to achieve this online. Well, you’ve probably already guessed that this almost never happens. The hope is that in the process of carrying out your job, roleplay will occur (although hopefully not THAT kind of roleplay), stories will evolve and you’ll engage in player-created scenarios and drama in a way few games can even come close to reaching. The general idea is that you join a multiplayer server which takes place in a map resembling a town, or a business district, or whatever, and choose a job to work: ranging from policeman to gangster, to chef, to gundealer, to scientist, etc. DarkRP is a multiplayer game mode in Garry’s Mod which holds lofty ambitions.
