Its like there's a huge group of people who RP "spy" characters and half the time we've caught these people metagaming hard. It got so bad eventaully myself and my friends just cut all ties with them because they would metagame to get info to start this huge fight, then start this fight and the otherside would figure out they were being metagamed, a shit storm would happen, and everyone would end up bitter and angry. It sounds isolated but its happened at least 4 times in the last three months with those people.
That's how I felt when I read Death Note.
Just cause you're really smart doesn't mean you can figure everything out without sneezing.

Out of curiosity, did he paraphrase like that (i.e. emoting that he's delivering a long-winded explanation) or did he also write out the explanation itself?
I've seen people type out something like those before.
/em explains how ____ works in regards to ____
It's my preferred way of dealing with this, too. You can embellish the sentence and such as you choose, but it means you get to move forward with the RP without trying to explain things you don't know about!
The good thing about Deathnote and most people who RP geniuses is that Light, like most Genius RPers was fooled by a simple bait and switch. Its not hard to beat people who try too hard.
