# 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.**
