How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: Using information from outside the context of the game/roleplay environment that your given character couldn't have known in order to affect said environment. An example would be using information that you the player read on another player's character bio or looking at the forum activity, and then acting accordingly despite your character either not having a reason or perhaps would not even know the other character.
How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: Having one's own character gain unrealistic/nonsensical amount of power, as well as forcibly influencing the actions/roleplay outcomes of others, or even outright ignoring one's own negative effects. This can also overlap with 'min-maxing' or exploiting game systems in order to gain further avenues for powergaming. An example would be somehow inexplicably gaining god-like power without any roleplay-based justification, but rather just because you, the player, decided it's the way it is, then proceeding to beat other players' characters down even if it's non-sensical and wouldn't plausibly happen without the aforementioned powergaming.
