🧠 Metagaming

Metagaming occurs when a player uses out-of-character (OOC) information—anything learned outside of in-game roleplay—to influence their character’s decisions, actions, or knowledge. This includes information gained from Discord, streams, third-party apps, or even other characters you control. Metagaming is strictly prohibited and undermines fair roleplay.

📗 General Principles

Characters may only act on information they could reasonably know in-character.
Knowledge gained outside of roleplay (from Discord, voice chat, streams, or other media) cannot be applied in-game.
You may not share OOC knowledge with your character, other characters, or third parties to gain an advantage.

🎥 Streams & Live Content

Using live stream content to influence in-game actions (such as player positions, upcoming events, or loot locations) is not allowed.
You may watch another player’s stream, but if there is any chance of overlapping in-game encounters, you must mute or deafen the stream and any voice channels during that time.
Real-time stream information cannot be used to gain an advantage in RP or combat.

🔉 Voice Channels & Communication

Being in an unmuted or undeafened voice call (Discord, Teamspeak, etc.) while actively roleplaying is prohibited if information could influence in-character decisions.
Exceptions: Casual conversations, resource gathering, or socializing when not engaged in active RP.
During active RP, players must mute or deafen and cannot relay IC information to others in voice chat.

You may not use knowledge from one character to benefit another unless it is something they would realistically know.
Characters cannot automatically know the identities, affiliations, or locations of other characters you play.
Sharing information between your own characters, or using third parties to transfer knowledge, is prohibited.

😷 Masked Players & Identification

Identifying masked or disguised players solely by voice (“Voice ID”) is not allowed.

Exceptions:

A player who always wears a specific outfit or mask and has previously been identified in-character.
Public figures whose identity is known in-game.
To avoid accidental identification, players should consider changing masks, outfits, or appearance periodically.

💻 Third-Party Sources

Using information from Discord (server channels, private chats), forums, or other external sources to influence in-character decisions is forbidden.
The only exception is if staff explicitly share information for IC purposes.

📜 Summary

Only act on what your character could reasonably know in the moment.
Avoid using any OOC knowledge from streams, chats, or other characters.
