The situation is rather irregular. It calls for special equipment beyond what she brought with her. Rin is not batman

[Arch-Magos Winter]

That's actually metagaming when you use outside information. So what Lantz just did is Godmodding.

What "outside information"?

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Hm, I was always taught that what I said up there was godmodding. As in, your character is somehow omniscient of everything. Like a god.

I guess it's been a while since I learned my terms.

[Alice]

...Uh, lantz. What special equipment is she needing here and why? And why wasn't she able to bring it with her in the first place?

This is already setting me on edge...

Well, meta-gaming is using OOC knowledge or reasoning to act ICly. God-modding is doing things you shouldn't be able to or controlling other characters. What Lantz is doing right now is neither.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

he blew up my car

or maybe I did that I dunno I read his post and it said something about explosions so I had my car explode

Would've made my car explode anyway

My car was an NPC btw

[Arch-Magos Winter]

By outside information, I mean information your character wouldn't know in character. That's metagaming. A minor amount will happen anyway somewhat, but what lantz did was pretty blatant godmodding, not metagaming to the extent where it is actually metagaming, though it does have some metagaming involved in it.

Also mike, get in the room!

[lantzblades]

It wasn't an explosion names, not in the kaboom,sense, I was being flowery with the words, it was blood exploding out his chest and then lighting on fire.

I'm not god modding or meta gaming.

[Bloble]

that sounds metal as fuck just saying

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Whatever my car still blew up

would have made it happen anyway

But you did slightly metagame with the deed stuff, as Satoshi had never brought it up before I said I'd arrest him on it OOC.

Whatever though the past is the past, Inferno Cop is invading the hobbitses

[YOLF]

Inferno Cop is going to rock the Shire?

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

He's going to conquer new zealand

It's where they filmed all the movies right?

He saw a billboard poster and decided it looked cool, so HE'S OFF TO CONQUER

there is precedent for this with him: the pyramids.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

With the god modding I was more talking about the shit with Rin but whatever.

I don't see how it is, though. It's entirely plausible for her to be able to summon in a table, even if it's not necessarily in-character for normal Rin.
