This guide is created for humans only. If you're a bot with (or without) predefined set of responses, then this guide can't help you. You won't even probably be here.
But just in case here's a bot-warding line.

Cogito, ergo sum

Hello, people of Talisman. Today, I'm going to teach you some basic interactions, that will save you, from becoming a mindless machine. This guide is born out of desperation by a man, starving for human warmth and compassion, rivalry and heat of battle, betrayals and sneakiness. All this is on the brink of extinction in Online play. And it's sad.

I will try to explain how to bring conversations back to the game and make it more engaging for everyone, including you.

Let's go.

Don't be ashamed to make predictions. In chat. Try to communicate what result you're going for (a fake goal would be fine too) and react to whether or not you succeeded in making it happen. This will increase the tension for you a lot and a little bit for your opponents. If you succeed, you'll gain a lot more enjoyment, if you fail - that's a valuable lesson (probably) and others will have more fun.
Also, it's more interesting to place bets on others and their future. At least there's less "selfrespect damage", when you're wrong...

No one expects you to live into the role, or go crazy on your backstory. Just think of your possible character motivations in doing something. You don't even need to write anything in chat, or abandon you commitment to win! Just look at what's happening and try to connect the events and characters in terms of real world, not just the game.
This will serve as a side mind-gymnastics and additional entertainment for you.

Just don't, please.

Thanks to all the human-bots, that made me write this stuff. I love you guys, cuz I love peaceful nature scenery, wich you remind me of. No one's talking. It's just a breath of the wild.
