How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: Metagaming is misusing information completely out of your character's world in your own favor. Every detail your character doesn't acknowledge but is obtained OOCly cannot be used in your own favor. For example, I get approached by a character and I read his name above his head. Even though I never talked to the character, I cannot just roleplay knowing his name ICly just by obtaining the information OOCly.

How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: Powergaming can mean two things, the first one is giving your character powers he realistically would never possess. Second thing is forcing other players to roleplay actions in your character's favor. The first definition can be exampled as roleplaying kicking down a whole tree and expecting others to roleplay it. Nobody would be strong enough to pull a huge tree out. The second definition goes as for example you approach someone with the intention of fighting him, but just so your character is advantaged, you execute them immediately in a single /me line. That wouldn't make any sense, both parties must roleplay their actions properly and realistically.
