metagaming
When game information outside of what is available in a game is used to give a player an advantage in-game. Most commonly seen and frowned upon in many forms of role playing especially when consent has not been given.
Example a.
A dungeons and dragons adventure team comes across an unknown monster in-game. The metagamer knows this monster through out-of-game information. Using this information, the metagamer's character acts upon the monster's weaknesses and attributes despite the character having never seen the monster before.
Example b.
In an online pan-fandom RPG, Ryoga from Ranma 1/2 meets Ken from Street Fighter for the first time and they have a fight to the death. Ken finds some water in a random nearby bucket and dumps it on Ryoga, then proceeds to pummel the life out of Ryoga who is now transformed into a tiny black pig because of his water curse.
In this case, Ken's role player is metagaming.

When you think of something that is brainless, completely devoid of logic, outrageously unreasonable, nonsensical, entitled, overemotional, underperforming and egoistical, chances are, you wouldn't be able to come up with someone to fit all these categories perfectly. This is where the special phenomenon, known as MikyGaming, actually becomes useful for the first time in history. MikyGaming is a form of unfortunate disease or curse to get struck by. In the event that one is inflicted, their braincells would ascend to be far too smart for anyone to understand. Common symptoms shown are: extreme self contradiction, worshipping of the wrong things, stubborn, etc. Thankfully, this disease is being contained, since the one and only person infected by it is actually to full of himself to interact with others.
