# Meta-Gaming

Using information that you did not obtain in-character to influence your Characters’ actions. For example through **Discord Channels** or **Twitch Streams.** This is when you Use Out-Of-Character information for personal In-Character benefit or gain. Even if it doesn't put you at an advantage, mixing OOC **(Out of Character)** with IC **(In-Character)** will be considered Meta-Gaming. You **MUST ONLY** use Information that you have obtained In-character.

**EXAMPLE OF META GAMING:**

**Subject A** goes onto **Subject B's** Stream to find out their Location then go kill them\
\
Or\
\
**Subject A** is watching **Subject B's** Stream, where **Subject B's Gang** are setting up an attack on **Subject A's Group.** The attacking group (**Subject B)** state their plan during a Group Meeting. **Subject A** uses this knowledge to prepare a Counter-Attack or Ambush on **Subject B's Group.**\
\
**DISCLAIMER:** \
You will **ALWAYS** be questioned on suspicious things such as Scenario 2
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**MULTIPLE CHARACTERS:**

There will be strict rules regarding **“cousins”:** under **no circumstances** should a player be in knowledge of their second persona!

**This is NOT allowed.** Try to avoid creating multiple characters that would be involved in the same story/scenarios. **If admins observe this behavior, we reserve the right to permanently remove the character.**
{% endhint %}

Another **Disclaimer:**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**DISCLAIMER:** 

You **CANNOT** identify people from their voices or the player-list! Unless you see their face and know who they are, then you can. You **CANNOT** go off of someone's voice if they have a mask on or are clothed in a completely different way (e.g. No Gang Flag)\
\- **this WILL lead to jail time, ban, possible deletion of character is severe!**
