In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: I had to look this up as I had no idea to what the definition was. I now know that is is to use knowledge you received outside the game to influence the in game world.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-gaming is pretty much just overpowering your character, to the extent that it isno longer fun for others. It can be like giving yourself a magic spell such as "See Names Above People's Heads" or as simple as making it so you automatically do something, such as "I shoot an arrow into there face." rather than "I attempt to shoot an arrow at there face."

What do you expect this server will be like?:I hope it will balance out well the aspects of role-playing, such as combat, exploration, and problem solving.

Having seen the time and effort put into this website, I expect that this will be so.

I would like to see more depth into your character, your biography and your open response questions, if you do this then I presume you will be set for the server.

Besides that, your definition for metagaming wasn't what we are looking for, you have the concept but try and develop it with more examples like you did with your powergaming definition
