Actually it was because Zurkiba has IC and OOC been a long standing enemy of Zormite. As far back as I can remember, I was probably a cavalier I think, Zurk came back to Dustari for a few days, and just sat around in Tseng's throne talking about how he almost took over the world and how he almost crushed zormite and would have if samurai hadn't betrayed him or whatever. He was not using oocs, but he was talking about his exploits as a different character.
What do you call the opposite of metagaming, btw? Where for example, someone make some trecherous plans known out of character and make it impossible for the other players to decide if they can trust him or not ic? In that case the person may very well have decided not to trust the traitor but can't anymore without being accused of metagaming.
I am not saying anyone is doing this, I am just curious what that is called.
