Metagaming

Metagaming is the act of using out of character knowledge to further your own player in the game, and is the opposite of Roleplaying. An example of metagaming would be calling the emergency shuttle at the beginning of a round to try to find out what round type it is, or doing things your character should not know how to do, like a surgeon with no skill in construction or electronics hacking an airlock. This is a punishable offense.

However, if you happen to die to some favorable circumstances, you are allowed to use LOOC (local ooc) to tell a doctor to clone your dead butt. In the rare case there is no doctor, you are allowed to rejoin after a few minutes, but try to keep the immersions normal. At best, atleast try to have central command be faxed with a document stating you're deceased. This is not required but it's very appreciated by other players.

Using OOC, local OOC, or out of game methods to communicate for an in-game advantage is metagaming.
