# Metagaming

<mark style="color:red;">**Metagaming**</mark> involves using information obtained outside of character (OOC) through third-party programs, such as Discord, to gain an advantage within the game. This includes stream sniping, which is strictly prohibited and will result in a ban. All information used in-character (IC) should be obtained through in-character means.

**Examples of Metagaming include:**

* <mark style="color:red;">**Being in a Discord call**</mark> with other players while in the city, which could lead to sharing IC information.
* <mark style="color:red;">**Using /ooc**</mark> to ask questions that provide you with an in-game advantage.
* **Typing in&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**OOC**</mark>**&#x20;channels** to share IC information with others.

**To report metagaming:**

* Provide sufficient evidence in a support ticket to support your claim.

**Ensure that all in-character knowledge is acquired through roleplay to maintain a fair and immersive experience for everyone.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.onenightroleplay.com/server-rules/roleplay-rules/metagaming.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
