Powergaming

Powergaming Explained:

Powergaming involves manipulating game mechanics unfairly to gain an advantage, often at the expense of realism. Below are common examples of powergaming:

Forcing Outcomes: Declaring outcomes instead of attempting them. Example:

Incorrect - /do finds the hidden weapon

Correct - /do searches the glovebox.

• Escaping Limitations: Leaving restraints or jail without realistic roleplay or staff approval.

• Unauthorized Item Acquisition: Generating items that your character did not obtain through roleplay.

• Ignoring Physical Boundaries: Performing actions that defy realistic physical limitations, like infinite sprinting or surviving impossible falls.

• Unrealistic Justifications: Using excuses like "I'm built different" to validate implausible abilities.
