"You are equppied with your own knowledge. Not mine, or any others."

[TheBiggerFish]

((All your characters read all the things, apparently, TBF ))

((Probably because I read all the things.))

[SOLDIER First]

((Please take note, TBF:
KNOWLEDGE THE PLAYER HAS CANNOT BE USED WHILE IN-CHARACTER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.))

[TheBiggerFish]

((@SB:
1.You aren't the GM.
2.That is OUTRIGHT WRONG.))

[PrivateNomad]

"Best be safe then! To all the bunny Faunus out there, close your eyes!"
Sienna tries to stomp the bunny with an explosive impact.
((@TBF its called metagame))

[TheBiggerFish]

((Yes, I know what metagaming is.  It's using OOC knowledge of IC in IC, not using OOC knowledge of OOC in IC, though.  Because a blanket ban on referencing anything you know...Can you not speak English, in game?

Also, NEITHER of you are the GM of this thread.))

[PrivateNomad]

((you don't seem to understand
metagame is when you apply knowledge that you know as a PLAYER, but not necessarily what your character knows. In fact, you do it in multiverse all the fucking time, and it tends to get irritating as a GM when your player is spouting nonsense that breaks the immersion of the game))

((....also, there wouldn't be a Caerbannog equivalent, nor a Monty Python and the Holy Grail equivalent in RWBY.

For one, that requires an equivalent Arthurian legend, which we don't know it has.
For two, it would require Welsh to be a language in RWBY, it obviously cannot and likely isn't. Unless Caerbannog is a place name, but most place names have been in English or the equivalent thus far, so it's doubtful. We do have language influences, i.e Pyrrha, Jaune, but it's not explicitly Greek/French/etc.
For three, Remnan culture is inherently different to the point that it's highly unlikely there's any Python-equivalent if at all.

Save that kinda shit for the fanfics, please.))

(("Hey man, could you stop breaking this extremely obvious rule of roleplaying?"
"I'm not, and stop telling me what to do, you're not the GM, I can do what I want, wah wah."))

[TheBiggerFish]

((@1@&@&&#_&@&@@$@$(=(_@
SB:
No.
That's not even how that WORKS.
Metagaming is using OOC-ONLY knowledge of IC, in IC.  If you would know things ICLY because THAT IS YOUR CHARACTER, that's not metaGAMING.  It's possibly meta though.))

((@Elf:There's got to be a similar story, though.  The innocuous little critter being massively OP.  And since OOCly I don't know of an IC version, I fell back to the Python reference.))

((@SB:See the thing IS, I'm not breaking it, for the value of 'it' I think is the right value.  You have a larger value of 'it'.

As it is, it' s still not your call.))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((There's got to be =/= there is. It doesn't necessarily follow, and it's better not to reference Caerbannog unless you're damn sure you can get away with it, which you were not and which you didn't.))

[SOLDIER First]

((Your character cannot possibly know of something that doesn't exist in his world, because it doesn't exist in his world. Therefore you are metagaming.))

[TheBiggerFish]

((Your character cannot possibly know of something that doesn't exist in his world, because it doesn't exist in his world. Therefore you are metagaming.))

((:facepalm:
@Elf: Probably true.  If I should ICly have a reference to make, but don't OOCly, I'm kind of stuck with substituting the closest thing I know of, though.
@SB:And my not knowing of an IC equivalent of the Killer Rabbit and SUBSTITUTING SOMETHING IN that I do know, is metagaming how?))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((......so give the GM a cue to help you out then. >_>))

[SOLDIER First]

_{"Killer rabbit of Caerbannog?  Killer rabbit of Caerbannog.  That or a decoy like anglerfish."}

((This is not substitution.))
