How do you fuckers feel about Table chatter/kibitzing at your RPG table? can a player make suggestions when his character isn't present in the scene? is that cheating/metagaming? Can a player make suggestions that his character wouldn't know? Say you encounter a puzzle that you, as a player, figure out but you're playing a half-orc barbarian with an INT of 6. Can you suggest an answer and just have whoever's playing the wizard be the one who "figures it out"? Or can players only declare actions that they themselves thought up?

If a dude ruins everyone's fun at the table because he blurts out the answer to a cool puzzle, yes, that's definitely "bad" metagaming and is definitly lame. Bring the smackdown on those players.
But what about if a player suggests good ideas that are just plain cool? Hell, what if he even suggests complications that hinder the party, but in interesting or relevant ways? Is that metagaming too? Is that BAD if he puts forth ideas everyone likes? Even if they're not directly for or against his players?
Or is that the GM's job only and that player is overstepping his bounds?
