in the application my explanation of meta- and powergaming is cut off. I didnt know that there would be a maximum amount of characters. therefore i post the whole explanation here now:
Metagaming consists of three core points. The first point can be summarised into “when a player bases his actions on information his character could not have acquired”. (e.g. when you use a dynmap to predict/adapt to a possible raid/attach from other players. The dynmap gives you an unfair advantage). The second point could be included in the first point, but stands apart in the fact that is based on hidden information. An example of this would be looking/ going through players through walls (if they aren’t crouching), because their nametag is visible. The last point would be informing other players who your character couldn’t possibly inform on certain things. (the most famous method is using the /msg command to ask for help)
Powergaming could be summarised in two points. The first point being when your characters performs actions which wouldn’t be possible. (e.g. a 300-pound 4ft. dwarf jumps over a highlander human standing 6 ft. tall). The second point would be when you perform actions which another player can’t defend himself against. (e.g. a forest elf says that he shoots another player right through his heart, instantly killing him)
