# (G18) Metagaming

Using out-of-character information to influence roleplay is considered metagaming and may result in a ban. This includes, but is not limited to, information from Twitch streams, forum posts, or Steam messages.

You may not identify players in-game solely by their session ID. Police or EHS ranks and collar numbers are allowed, as they are visible on uniforms, unless the officer or medic is undercover (not in uniform or wearing a mask).

External communications are discouraged. If you use them, any commands or relevant information that could influence roleplay must be hot-mic’d when other players are within audio range. This ensures rival players can hear what is said.

The Tweedle app is considered in-character. Do not share out-of-character information or information that breaches NLR through it.

You may not use information gained from one character to influence another character you control, or share it with a third party to relay it. For example, if Character A is a cop aware of a gang raid, and Character B (controlled by the same player) is in the rival gang, Character B cannot be informed about the raid, nor may Character A use Character B’s vehicles or assets.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://britishrp.gitbook.io/britishrp/fivem-rules/g18-metagaming.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
