Aviator hits it dead on.
Power-gaming refers to two things.
1) Using in-game abilities to acquire things for personal gain (going GD purely for the ammunition etc.)
2) Imposing an "iron-will" of RP. Example:
Me (criminal): /shows ID card.
Officer: /inspects the card. "Something is fishy"
That's fair and requires RP inventiveness.
Me (criminal): /shows fake ID card which cannot be traced.
Officer: "Something is fishy"
Me: ".// Nope, cannot be traced, don't metagame"
Now that's power-gaming and is not allowed.
