In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
(I had to look this one up but it is in my own words.) Meta-gaming is taking knowledge or information learnt out of character (OOC) and using it in character, (IC).

Dylan's character SHOULD NOT have known about the funeral.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:

John moves in, attempting to speak to the thugs. "What's going on 'ere?" he asks, slightly smiling. The first thug speaks, "This lil' feggert ain't payin' no tex!" John replies, "How much?". "Twen'ee minas." John pulls open a bag and dips his hand into it, pulling out a handful of minas. He passes it over to the two warriors.
