    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: In my case, I avoid powergaming by leaving my character's action open-ended if it's directed at another person's character and keeping the state of my own character in mind so that he/she doesn't achieve something too unrealistic. If another player powergames, then I either ignore their advance if it interrupts the plot of the current storyline or discretely message the person to let them know that they might need to change their idea because it doesn't logically work.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: It can ruin the surprise effect of information that was meant to be revealed at a later time and disrupt the vibe of the roleplay session. It's also unrealistic for a character to know something not disclosed.
    Status: Accepted
Character Name: Thalia
Character Race: Wood Elf
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 18
Physical Description: She is a lady of great beauty. She has tanned rosy skin, bright green intimidating eyes, and thick wavy rosy-tinted chestnut hair.
Roleplay Scenario:

Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”

((How do you respond?))

"Must be quite famous for a woman like you to recognize me," Thalia sarcastically remarked with an attitude. Her eyes scanned the room before shifting over to the gaze of the old hag; they were as fierce as a viper's. She quickly responded, "I don't have a story to tell. At least, not to you."

(Thalia was raised in a nomadic tribe of wood elves that dispersed in the aftermath of an attack that left their ranks in ruins. Her tribe was one of questionable tactics that could have been seen as violent compared to other wood elf communities and this didn't sit right with a good portion of the other elf civilizations. Thalia is unaware of what group ambushed her family, but she knows for sure that someone out there must have had it out for them. Now, she must live amongst the pacifists and try her hand at uncovering the mystery of her attackers.)

Hello there, your app is almost ready! Just a few changes you need to make.
You’ll be given 48 hours to correct the changes below. Once you have edited and corrected your post, please contact me.

  • Please review our Wiki’s definition of Powergaming and include an example of what powergaming is . Also please include an example of how you, will avoid doing so on the server by writing an example line of combat roleplay text you would write for your character. You can also learn more about combat roleplay here. We'd like you to elaborate on your answer to ensure you understand what it is.
  • It is okay to not detail your characters backstory in the roleplay example, though please if you commit to this, write a small paragraph detailing your characters backstory below
  • Your characters traits do not fit within our Wood Elf lore. Please view this page for more information about Wood Elves. Your character does however hold the traits of a High Elf (If you lighten the hair). For more information on High Elf lore please view this page here. Regardless of your choice , please update either your skin or your characters description. If you need help with a skin, feel free to check out our free skin archive!

My discord and forum account is @WhatASithuation
