One could also mention discord bots doing even worse - notifications when specific ship/tag logs in or enters specific system. Now that has room for huge abuse.

No different than the Mactan Network bot.

I roleplay information from the player list as a gut feeling or as female intuition, depending on the character.

This is by far the most abused form of metagaming on this server. A nomad should not be flying 9 systems to fight with traders. It's just stupid.

People need to stop it!

Quote:You can use the playerlist to find encounters or ooRPly contact other players, and that is all about it. Your character has no means of knowing that in system X are Y players of faction Z. Whenever you find these encounters, please pretend the encounter was induced randomly.

Please ensure you read the explanation below the headings.
