Thank you so much for your effort! I have but been on the server for 2 days but already appreciate the time and energy you all have spent on it all.

Hi there! I have added to the backstory. I am unsure why the website is cutting my definitions short, please see below: Metagaming is when your character has knowledge about the game, characters or events which they could not have had due to not actually overhearing a conversation, reading a book on the subject or being in the physical space where it was happening. An example of this would be asking for help from a friend whilst you are being attacked through an instant messenger outside of the game. This is something your character could not have done short of the person being in the same room, house or area and being able to hear you shout for help. Another example would be you knowing when a secret meeting is happening due to reading some of the out of game forums and then arriving for a meeting you had nothing to do with as your in game character did not actually hear of the meeting in game. Powergaming is when a character extends their powers way beyond that of what would be possible within the world. For example a character says. "I stab character X through their heart killing them instantly." In this example the character X who is being targeted cannot respond to this style of play as their fate has already been decided. A better choice would be to say “I attempt to thrust my sword at character X’s heart.” This example allows for character X to keep the roleplaying alive by responding in a realistic manner as their fate has not been decided.
