At your request, I am posting this reply rather than mailing it. Normally,
I reply to questions of this sort via private email.
I notice that you waited less than three hours before impatiently
re-posting your query. Ah well, you'll learn.
Now, as to your question: "Interactive fiction" is a vague term, but
around here it generally (although not exclusively) means text-based
adventure games, like Zork or Curses! or pretty much any MUD (although
MUDs aren't discussed much here, since they have their own newsgroup.)
Whether these count as role-playing depends on your definition of that
equally vague term. If, as seems likely, you mean games like D&D, then
probably not. If you mean computer RPG's like Ultima, that's closer, but
generally no. For further information, read the FAQ. FAQ stands
for "Frequently-Asked Questions"; many newsgroups have a list of such
questions, which gets posted on a regular basis in order to cut down on
the bandwidth spent on individual replies to queries about the basic nature
of the newsgroup. Reading existing posts is also a good way to get the
flavor of a newsgroup without the necessity of waiting for someone to
notice and reply to your message.
Hope you get your email fixed soon.
