Metagaming

     Metagaming is when a player obtains external information (information your lore character does not know, which was obtained through private channels or other means) and tries to use it in lore, or shares information to other people even if they can’t. 

     This information can be in different forms, like text, pictures, and videos. It’s considered metagaming if you share information like that while in a permanent death event. 

     One sub-rule that comes from the concept of metagaming is “dead-men-tell-no-tales”. If you die in a Permanent Death event, information your character learned is lost because they’re dead. Because of this, you cannot share any information about a permanent death event if you died in it. It’s usually safe to just not talk about any event that you died in. Because of this rule, information gained in said permanent death events can only be shared if you survive the event.

     You can’t bring your real-life or non-AoTU relationships into lore: these are things like romantic loves or out-of-lore rivalries. You also can’t give or accept bribes (money, ROBUX, limiteds, etc.) to do something in lore.

     It’s important to not metagame. All players must with staff members investigating about metagaming. If you try to not cooperate, you could be at fault too. There’s usually big bans for people caught in the act.

     It’s also important to note here that spreading false information is not metagaming, as long as one does it to try to misinform others.

     There’s an exception to metagaming rules for online videos: it is okay to post any video that does not contain highly private events in a Permanent Death setting online. We encourage YouTubers be given a free hand when spreading the word about Attack on Titan: Universe events. However, videos cannot be used as proof for future events, because they’re not in lore.
