216.136.6.19: Question of definition

Question of definition

New page

Wouldn't simply playing NetHack a second time constitute "Metagaming"? For example, say the first time I play my character eats too much and dies. The second time I play, I'll know that eating too much is lethal, so I won't do that.

That scenerio is similar to the one mentioned with the water demons in the fountains; knowledge of previous games will affect my current game. In fact, that means that reading spoilers is also a form of metagaming.

Is this really what "Metagaming" is meant to convey? -- Mark, [[User:216.136.6.19|216.136.6.19]] 19:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

		+	I'm surprised at what is considered metagaming here. Hoping to lure a water demon that might grant a wish? Seems like a stretch, given the extremely long odds there. And price-identifying in shops? In real life, if a merchant offered me two lamps, and one was 5x the cost of the other, I might consider the expensive one to be more valuable.
