Yexian Wei wrote: 5 Dec 2025, 18:47 I've been a little confused about the godmodding and metagaming for a while now. I read a lot of forums but I still dont really understand it. I do know that godmodding means I cant roleplay as another character, I can only write what they wrote (like if they mentioned taking off their jacket for example, I can write that they took off their jacket). And does this thing also work on iNPCs and NPCs?
Also, I need a lil more explanation abt who/what NPCs are T.T
Thanks! (I hope this is the right thread to post this in T.T)

So basically, Metagaming is taking OOC information and using it IC in a thread/roleplay. It goes for all characters, including NPCs. As for the meaning of iNPCs and regular NPCs, iNPC stands for independent non-player character, and NPC or dNPC stands for non-player character or dependent non-player character. Independent NPCs are NPCs attached to your account, but it's not your main account. You can roleplay as them, but they won't be your main account.

Dependant NPCs are like family; you can RP with them, but they cannot have solo threads. They don't have a separate account attached to yours, but you can create one to roleplay as such. iNPCs have full control over your dNPCs but they cannot control others dNPCs.

Let me give examples:

dNPC mom: You can use your main acc to control or your iNPC acc to do so (this is not god-modding)

iNPC char: You can only control your iNPC, but I'm not quite sure if you can godmod them

Metagaming: Yexian (OOC): Hey, did you know Yexian is Chinese?

Ekaterina (OOC): Oh wow! No, I didn't

RP

Ekaterina (IC): It's so interesting, I never knew you were Chinese!

Yexian (IC): etc., etc.
(This is metagaming)

if there anymore questions owl me

Aurelia's favourite colours are olive green and brown! Brown should be fine, as she adored it.
