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, 216.136.6.19 19:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
