Metagaming & Powergaming

• Metagaming: This is when you use real-life information gained from outside the bounds of the game to benefit your character's knowledge in-game, even though they would not have known this information. For example, watching a stream to find someone’s location to use for your personal benefit, or using the “M” name tags and finding out who it is.

• Metagaming to gain an in-game advantage, for example, requesting help from your allies through out-of-character channels, will result in more severe punishments, than accidental metagaming, that serves no benefit to the player, such as calling a stranger by his character name.

• Whilst you are in the city, under no circumstances, are you allowed to be in a livestream (such as, but not limited to, Discord, Twitch, Facebook Gaming & Youtube) of someone else who is also in the city.

• Powergaming: Roleplaying with mechanics/abilities that do not exist or forcing someone else into a situation where they do not have choices.

• Using /me to force RP in your favor rather than leaving it open ended for all parties involved.

• Kicking from bikes is not allowed.

• Roleplaying something unrealistically ridiculous or forcing roleplay actions on other players by using the /me command is not allowed and is classed as powergaming.
