📋 Rules & Guidelines🧠 Metagaming

🧠 Metagaming

Metagaming is strictly prohibited.
Players must not use information or knowledge that their character would not reasonably have access to within the in-game world.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Information gained from Discord, live streams, external chats, or voice calls
  • Information gained while dead, downed, or spectating
  • Any form of out-of-character communication used to influence in-character actions

Voice Identification & Recognition

  • Recognising or identifying a character by their voice alone is considered metagaming, unless your character has a clear, prior in-character relationship or interaction history that reasonably justifies recognition.
  • You may not identify, call out, or act on a player’s identity solely based on:
    • Voice similarity
    • Accent
    • Speech patterns
    • Familiarity from out-of-character interactions

Examples of metagaming:

  • “I know that voice, it’s X”
  • Identifying masked or unknown individuals without prior in-character justification
  • Linking a voice to a character through Discord or other external platforms

External Voice & Communication During RP

  • Being in external voice chats (Discord, phone calls, etc.) during active roleplay situations is strongly discouraged to remove any possibility of metagaming.
  • Using external voice or communication to coordinate, relay information, or influence in-character actions is considered metagaming, regardless of intent.

This includes:

  • Asking for help or transport out-of-character while incapacitated or dead
  • Sharing locations, descriptions, or outcomes externally during RP scenes

Masks, Disguises & Voice Alteration

  • Voice changers, soundboards, or audio-altering software are not permitted under any circumstances.
  • Wearing masks or physical disguises is permitted for roleplay purposes.
  • If a character is masked or otherwise concealing their identity, other players must treat them as unknown unless they have strong in-character justification to do otherwise.
  • Players may not bypass disguises by relying on voice recognition or out-of-character familiarity.
