AnonymoussaidThis is more a question from me. I might have misjudged the severity of the concepts Metagaming and Powergaming. After an unfortunate encounter with it, I am seeking to narrow down the edges of it. Overall the rule is no metagaming nor powergaming. First let's head over to metagaming. Is it really metagaming if both parties are content with it? Let's say, for example, John Doe and myself are in a fight at some dark alley. He has read my profile knowing I carry a steel whiskeyflask. So when he emotes without IC knowing of the flask, to hit me on the chest and hurt his hand on the flask, it would be metagaming (and powergaming but let's leave that aside for the sake of the argument). But I wouldn't mind. I doesn't affect anyone else and it wasn't really an act of metagaming that would damage the actual RP. How open can one be with that? Powergaming then. How does sexual RP work without Powergaming? If a girl gets tied up by a rapist, how can he not powergame any sexual action then? No attempt to change, just trying to figure out the fine lines. |
