Names in general can be tricky though. I've had that happen to me before as well, where say another RPer somehow magically knows the name of my character's Zanpakutou: when he had never even called it out in the presence of said-character to begin with. A pretty easy blunder to make though, imo, because when you have an article like, say, Seireitou's, it's so damn long that for an RP I bet the only sections a lot of people read is the intro and powers and abilities, which means they can miss a lot of nuance.

Still, common sense. Some of this stuff should be pretty obvious, perhaps people are just too eager to realize they're technically metagaming. In the end though, it just makes them look like an idiot as opposed to making their character seem smart. *shrugs*
