7. Metagaming

It is against server rules to metagame. If staff catch you metagaming, you will be punished much more harshly than most other rule breaks regardless of your history, so it is not really worth it.

Metagaming is the usage of any information your character has not found out in roleplay in the city. This could include watching a stream or using any form of Discord communications instead of the in-city radios or phones.

Being told something from another player without hearing it from their character is also considered metagaming. One key thing to note is that if you have multiple characters, your characters can NEVER share information with each other at all. This includes using a third person to "send" the information around.


danger

Streaming to other players who are involved in the same roleplay will be actioned as metagaming by the staff team. You should not join a stream of a player you are in RP with (e.g., a Twitch Stream), or you should avoid streaming to players who might be in the same RP (e.g., a Discord Stream).


warning

Combatting "Discord Duress"

In order to combat metagaming hostility, anyone who logs into the server after hostility has already commenced is not permitted to join in. When in doubt, you should refrain from joining in until a new scene or roleplay commences.
