[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9049904, member: 29398"] Nope. It's my duty as a player, under the heading "advocating for my character", to use whatever the game gives me to my character's best advantage. Which means if you give me the opportunity to metagame I'm a) 100% within my rights, and b) you by default fully expect me, to use that opportunity to whatever extent I can...even when doing so ruins the game, as it almost immediately will. Don't want me to metagame? Then don't allow it. And the easiest way to ban it is by not giving the opportunity for it in the first place. And I'm not the sort of player who wants to ruin games. Nor am I an optimizer or power-gamer. I am, however, the sort of player who wants to "win" against the game when I can, using what my character and I have available to work with; and if you wave a legal-at-your-table opportunity in front of me that makes winning easier I'd be an idiot not to take advantage of it. And that's just my point: the player [B]has[/B] delegated that role by not including those details in the action declaration. [/QUOTE]
