    How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: Metagaming is when you use information you did not obtain through roleplay, as if your character already knew it. such as trying to kill someone for being part of a secret coup when you didn't hear about it through roleplay means

    An Example for Metagming would be if you became a guard with a friend, and suddenly say one day the friend were to tell you by name that someone tried to recruit him for a plot to kill a higher rank in a guard force. So you decide to kill him without any reason other than that he's trying to recruit people for a murder. When your character had no knowledge of it.
    How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: powergaming is when you act like god, basically and say you are this or that to have an unfair advantage over everyone else.

    An Example for Powergaming would be when you decide to create a wizard, and you decide that starting out he shall be very powerful, powerful enough to stop armies and teleport anywhere anytime he wanted. In which you knowingly create him to be overpowered to everyone else. When the reality is you're meant to learn and develop your character over time. Personally it'd be more entertaining to progress because then your character has a real backstory and experiences, and they earned it fairly.

Read the scenario below this box and type out inside of this box how your character might respond. Your response must be at least four sentences long and include at least one action and at least one piece of dialogue surrounded by quotes.

 

Sejanus looked to the man confused, wondering how many people really had those crazy dreams. Inhaling before he replied with a cautiousness of the stranger "Just looking for work, in  Providence, that's all.. G'day now..." Sejanus replied as he walked off, speeding his pace as he wanted to escape the weird man.

He began to wander the cities Markets, butcher shops, bakeries, and taverns. Asking multiple people for work of any kind.

 

"Excuse me, miss," Sejanus said as he waved to a rather ugly looking tavern wench. Though she seemed to deliberately ignore him as she chatted up with some other ruffians, laughing about "I'd like a room please-" Sejanus said somewhat frustrated as he grunted, finally he was helped by another girl working there, surely no older than himself. He felt somewhat relieved as the girl was easier to look at than the other. "A room, you said? Its 10 Mina a night, we can give you boiled oats for breakfast, but im afraid you have to fetch your own supper." The young girl replied, Sejanus gave a gentle nod as he  took his small coin bag, counting out ten of the coins, noticing he only had twelve, though he quietly took all the coins, giving them to the girl as a tip with the fee. "Thank you, miss. You don't know of any work do you?.." The young girl counted out the coins as she shook her head, a slight smile crossed her face a she pocketed the two spare coins, looking back to him "Thank you- but im sorry I don't.. Maybe try the guards, they're always hiring, its not so hard now that Empress Anne has kept the peace. But im sorry, people come to the capital for work all the time, thinking just because its a big place there's work everywhere.. I have  to get back to it, sorry. Enjoy your stay though-" The girl said before they could exchange names, going over to a man calling out for her.

 

Sejanus went up to his small room, getting on the straw bed as he wondered what he'd do next.
