metagaming

[Inferno IV]

Can we update the rules about metagaming?
What can be used and what not?
And what it in generally is, because most people don't understand it.

Because at first I was told you couldn't use the name on the printer.
But now you can?

[Zinc]

Nah, you cant use names on printers.

I would like a defined list of in game features that are metagaming.
Pretty much everything in the tab menu is, methink.

I just recently saw a post by drake saying you CAN use names on printers, but I always thought you couldn't since I've played on srh

[Burnacid]

Door owner can be used. If there is a printer inside arrest the owner of the home

other than that what is new to us about the metagame rule
to me this is the one rule that confuses me the most

[Mister]

Drake said recently in an appeal that printer names aren't meta gaming.

That's why this thread is here:
Make it clear what's metagaming and what is not.

Anything with a name on can be used, if I didn't want you to use it I wouldn't put the name on it in the first place

So now i can kill someone for being a gangster or theif? Haha fuck it im down

[Drakehawke]

no because "being a gangster" isn't a valid reason to kill someone

neither is "being a thief" until you see them steal something

Guys, for printers at least consider this. IRL if something like a money printing press was found outside of government control and it had obviously been used the government would have the police search for any evidence at all nearby, from fingerprints to DNA. We can't do that on the server so the printers say names.

What about vendors?

[Your Stalker]

Can we ban gangsters and thieves from our stores for being gangsters and theives?

[Drakehawke]

No but you could ban people in gang uniforms and people wearing masks

[Inferno IV]

and can you use the names on props?

[Your Stalker]

But under their names it says their jobs, if i see someone is a professional theif then why wouldnt i just ban them from entering, again idk why the entire metagaming infrastructure has to be changed for no good reason, it was literally perfect the way it was. Metagaming money printers is just gonna cause people to get wanted so much more and people are going to be arrested even if the printer was stolen from them.

[Drakehawke]

this is how its always been

[Burnacid]

Is it just me or is Drake ignoring inferno ;p

[Wazzy]

No steamid's in RP is there?
