[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7180207, member: 6775031"] That would only be the case if you care about consistency as the highest priority. If this is to be played as an RPG, then the rule against meta-gaming must be given equal priority, because meta-gaming is definitionally the antithesis of role-playing. While you could have a decently consistent game by just accepting the meta-game component, it would no longer be a role-playing game, and there would be no point in playing it (from a role-playing perspective). No game is perfect, least of all this one. At best, this game can be salvaged by carefully choosing which inconsistencies to ignore. I will absolutely look down at anyone who claims to support role-playing while also espousing the merits of meta-gaming, as those trolls are a plague on the entire hobby, and rightly deserve to be shunned. That goes back to a previous point, about wasting everyone's time. If you show up at my table and proceed to waste my time, and the time of everyone else in the group, then you will be asked to leave. It is simply disrespectful. This is a group activity, and everyone has an obligation to respect the game and the other players if they want to participate. [/QUOTE]
