Powergaming
People who Powergame usually RolePlay's things which may be impossible to do, leaving the other player no chance to fight back. Powergaming people usually focus most on his own character.
Here's just a little example of someone Powergaming, let's say the Powergamers name will be... John_Wollie.
EXAMPLE:
John_Wollie : Hey, come in my car, let's go to my crib! You'll get some cash.
Jack_Shang : Uhm, okay... I'll come with you in one condition...
John_Wollie : No, get in!
John_Wollie grabs Jack and throws him into car.
John_Wollie ties him.
See? Do you get it? That's completely Powergaming from John_Wollie. This other guy had no chance at all to resist. Do you get it? I'll explain some more from the example. John Wollie threw him into the car, without opening the door or anything, which is impossible to do in RolePlay. When John Wollie tied him, he tied him with a rope he got from nowhere, he didn't search for it or anything. I think this will make you understand a bit more...
Let's move on to Metagaming.
Metagaming
Metagaming is when you look above someone's name without knowing it in a RolePlaying way. It's when you just look above their head to see his/her name. And says it out like ' Hello Jack Shang! How are you? ' Without knowing that person, that is Metagaming. This is also called Metagaming - USING OOC INFORMATION IC
OOC - Out of Character
OOC means Out Of Character. You use OOC for anything which is out of character. Which would be smileys, short terms like wtf, lol, omg, rofl etc.
Anything that is Out of your character. When you talk in OOC you use brackets. I.E (( Hey, lol... how's your weather irl? )).
IC - In Character
IC means In Character. Which means the world of your character, and other characters, which doesen't mean the world of the player who plays the characters. You don't use the brackets for IC. The IC chat should be like when you talk to anyone else IRL, without any simple worlds like etc, lol, thanx, ty etc... You get it.
