Oh boy, this just brought back bad memories of a player I once had the incredible displeasure to be part of a game with; I had one character who I rolled as an information-broker, went through the other players to ensure that they would be okay with this – they were fine with it, but this one chap, he took meta-gaming to a whole new level. Whatever I did to try and role-play this sneaky little career, somehow his character would be there to foil the whole thing. Eventually I had to go the Gms due to it as his character eventually began to claim he knew who my character was without any evidence!I could understand that, after a few in-game months and habits that gave my character away, I could understand someone being a tad suspicious, but this guy was there in the pantheon of meta-gaming gods.But yeah, it irks me bad!

These people suck. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just a determination to helpfully pick up on every point in everybody's post.

I once was playing an underconfident-and-cowardly-but-not-incompetent character who was deliberately concealing his skills out of reluctance and spite, which I said, in my narrative voice in the IC. One character, an infuriatingly imperious and kool (with a kapital kay) snarker immediately turned to him in the following post asking him if he was hiding anything.

When challenged: "Oh, she's a very complex character. I'm sorry you don't understand her."
