Meta-Gaming

Meta Gaming is using OOC knowledge for IC interactions.

Example A: if you have read a character's bio or back-story on the Forum, you may know, but your character does not yet know these things and cannot use them in RP until you have discovered it through RP or have a valid explanation for knowing.

Example B: if someone in the OOC channel says their character is somewhere your character wouldn't otherwise know about, your character does not know where they are, and you should never seek them out unless there is consent in this interaction.

Example C: if your character is making something like a love potion or a taco, consider where or how they might've learned to do such things, and make sure that you actually have access to the ingredients/components needed for inventing/crafting. If you ignore this example, you won't be severely punished, but your roleplay will not be supported by Staff, because this is a form of meta.
