Metagaming is defined as using out of character information in character. Metagaming is further classified as a role-play etiquette and is thus managed along with other breaks of our Code of Conduct.

TRUTH
As long as the community actively protects itself by not discussing in game (in character) situations in out of game settings (forums, chat rooms, private messages, etc) it is nearly impossible to prove that someone has metagamed.

With that said, all players are warned of the following:

  1. Don't talk about what happened in game with anyone out of game. The minute you announce in a public format, such as the forums or chatrooms what has happened in game, is the minute you've lost control of the information. It is very easy for someone to forget how they heard the information and if they are suppose to know it or not.
  2. Don't make important IC plans with other players out of character. Keep all of your planning to in character interactions. This will help to keep the line of IC and OOC more cleanly.
  3. All publicly posted in character rumors, stories, letters and logs WILL BE ASSUMED to be available to all characters and NPCs. Don't post "nearly private" in character anything and expect that to be respected. The average player will do their best to be respectful, but again, its very easy to loose track of these type of grey areas.
  4. Expect other CHARACTERS to betray your character regardless of your personal relationship with the other player.
