genuine metagaming for **** like that
it actually does nothing but contribute to protagonist and [redacted][redacted]14 mentality that conflict is inherently negative and always meant to be won, that you can straight up just brand metagaming as okay because "oh well i would describe it better in rp"
namemc screenshots, ingame screenshots, used in forum threads are blatant metagaming and are such a bland, negative experience for everyone involved but the person who's oocly bothered enough to try and pass it
you don't have to make some drawing, you dont have to commission someone, you dont have to do any of that to make a wanted poster or something similar, granted i give huge props to the one or two folks who have done that in recent history
a good description, maybe use indicators, mannerisms, tells, some descriptor that can make them stand out. villainy, bounty hunting, so on, shouldn't be a taboo- its a cancer that permeates in such a hyper-defensive nation, playergoup, or so on, mentality that is a leading factor as to why conflict is such a struggle on this server
funny meme, remember that scene in game of thrones when Tyrion is wanted and they put up a bounty, and people just keep bringing in beheaded blonde-haired dwarves that vaguely look like him?
i don't think we'll ever have a scenario like that since almost every character on the server has individualistic aspects that make them interesting, but, meh
recently when i was irply searching for a character, i was asked for the person's OOC name so they could /seen them, or look them up on logs
