This RP is a race to find out who fucked up the hardest!

Inspired by the above, here are some thoughts about how to approach actually playing this game. 

While it seems like I'm trying to ban all metagaming by keeping a lot of typically public info private, I'm actually not. You can and should use all the information at your disposal as the player; the only thing is, there isn't much information to have! So, if you've read something in the IC, even if your character wasn't witness, you should feel free to nudge your character to go and check out whatever it was. It's completely meta-gaming, and it's completely fine. The killer and I are going to be leaving you some clues, and, if you have a hunch about something, follow it up! There may even be OoC clues, too. I know there's already at least one...

In a similar vein, while establishing anything about another character can be seen as godmoding, I'm going to say that establishing something non-contradictory about their personal belongings is completely legit. In the particular scenario I have in my head, one character, let's call him Billy-Bob, leaves the room, but Billy-Bob's player does not establish what happened to his suitcase. Jilly-Jean's player should feel free to establish that Billy-Bob left his suitcase behind, and, you know, [i]search it[/i]. While this would be considered godmoding in a lot of RP's, I'm going to call this legit behaviour in this. Un/subtly prying into each other's private lives is going to be key in this, so I'm going to call it legit to go through other people's stuff. Obviously, this should be done carefully, so as not to contradict anything established. You should also PM me if you do this, in order to ask what Billy-Bob might find - I know, because I have your sheets, and it's a good idea to have a second pair of eyes double-check you aren't contradicting canon. While I can't think of another case in which I would support a plot-advancing godmode, if anybody can think of a similar example and would like to ask if it's legit, just [s]suck it up and keep your ideas to yourself[/s] ask me. :)

I hope that's all clear, and if anybody gets gently godmoded, I hope they won't feel too terribly violated.
