Meta gaming (New examples for new Scripts)

[Hircine]

Oh , I am sorry Gimli, RIGHT this server was called Argonath Freeroam server! Sorry, forgot that!

Hahahahahahaha, seriously what the hell? Metagaming should not be allowed AT ALL, as it is not even considered roleplay.

Haha agreed.

There is no metagaming in the situation that you mention. Say if an FBI agent is smart and he knows all the agents and that he will recognize someone who isn't an FBI member as his face is not familiar. If you tried to imposter the FBI agent, and claimed that you are FBI in front of that agent, and he immediately suspects you as be can't recongize you as an agent, then you made the mistake of attempting to imposter the FBI in front of him. Where is the "Outside" knowledge in this? Or are you confusing "Outside" knowledge with "Inside" knowledge?

I hate it when people always claim something as "Metagaming" or "Powergaming" when of course there could've been a side story to it.

ROns old Saying "THough this is a RP server RP is not enforced"
WHich i disagree with, THIS IS A RP SERVER, RP SHOULD BE Enforced.
Metagaming, Powergaming and deathmatching shouldnt be allowed period.

you where there, you dont know what happened, dont make assumption.

The Fact is most regulars are lacking RP, whiel the new players are showing better RP then most the older ones, Why is that?

Metagaming is allowed, as is powergaming (to an extent).

  Guys, the reason this is, is because it makes it a little easier on everyone. For example, it is meta gaming to call players by their ID?
Put yourself in this position:
  You are with 3 other cadets helping them learn to RP. Do you refer to them as "cadets" (which I find somewhat demeaning, i just call all police officers, heck, no one should know any better should they?) do I call each one cop? ... this makes it hard to issue orders, of course I can look at them all when speaking, but maybe they are not paying attention, or maybe there are 5 cadets in the same direction?... So, still not metagaming in this situation, you ask ooc " (( hey officer xxx, what should I call you"  to which he replies  " Call me xxx "...  So it just makes it so much easier and direct to call them by there names.

Ok, you may have read this and think, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Just look how petty this "metagaming" and "powergaming" is. Argonath does not have strict rules against this as it allows flexibility for new players and old players alike.
  Of course, if metagaming that Dark Pheonix described was to come about, it would show a sign of poor RP, anyone could see that... just why there is a topic about such matters.. is beyond me... and why I have even spent this time replying? Who knows, I should go to bed.

Oh, and something that Dark forgot to point out...

Every FBI uniform has an ID on the jacket = easy identification if fake or not...

Because i was making a point, Which is useless now that im leaving, The point was that Jaaskaa and others used to be above Power and meta, Now they resort to it everyday

-Censored-

 Flaming, stop it.

May I ask how the hell you can force RP on someone? That is IMPOSSIBLE....and I have never seen that.

It's called a Legit zero tolerance RP server, SOmething Argo used to be, No power or metagaming

[Matthew_Cipricla]

But still thats not forcing RP. That is just saying, dont do anything against. You can still be in between them to. And the real question is was the server popular/better/more liked the old way.

[JayL]

And oh something else i forgot to point out f**k OFF! Stop being a whiny ass B*tch and crying cause i called your a shit roleplayer

I am not whinning, I am just pointing out a fact. But if you don't want to discuss about it and be a pissed off kid on me instead, bye.

said the fourteen year old living with his mom to the 18 year old with his own bussiness, Fiancee, House, and cars?

[BlackBird]

YAY!!!!! Warnings for all 
i feel special, musta been a good boy to get this

[hell1989]

I agree that no Meta gaming should be used, but we do not need a rule, we need players who WANT to RolePlay.

Now, RS4 Devs put in ability to buy police clothes and I ask what is the purpose when every cop around will just metagame and suspect them on the spot for noticing their name above their name is White?

I wish to create a protest against the FBI, to stop going above every person in Power and acting like they better then everyone, just because they ride in black helicopters and spam Tec-9, so leet!

[Inkognito]

I still do not know what will happen with FBI and SWAT skins as they are available for everyone. The State laws should be modified with new points about clothes usage.
