Rules- Q&A 3.0

[GeorgeTheBoy]

Always wondered about this, as i've always seen it as a grey area.

Does going to a market job and buying supplies constitute as powergaming WHEN there's nobody else filling one of the slots?

More specifically, if I have advertised multiple times that I wish to buy say, 200 rifle ammo, and there's not gun dealers, would it be acceptable to go Gun Dealer and buy it? I've always found the powergaming rule obscure, especially in terms of powergaming items. (Even seen many admins doing it in the past few years.)

No, it does not. Powergaming is used to give yourself an advantage in a certain roleplay scenario. In the scenario you have given there is no viable alternative to purchasing weapons while there is no Gun Dealer available. Therefore, becoming a Gun Dealer yourself to manufacture weapons is allowed as long as you continue to roleplay for an acceptable amount of time and answer to all customers.
