What a meta-game is not: using information you know about a player from outside the game in order to win.


Is this not OGI?


It is outside game influence but it's not OGI as in the rule. It is allowed

Technically speaking, of course. Whatever slang meaning "meta" has developed within the EM community may very well be completely different.

thanks for the long post on what a metagame is not.


What a meta-game is not: using information you know about a player from outside the game in order to win.

What a meta-game is: controlling information people have about you for the the purposes of future games.

I.e. if you use information from other games its NOT meta-gaming, if you provide information to people to use in other games it IS meta-gaming. Sending = meta, receiving =/= meta.

that'd be unnecessary, the mods (hopefully) know if they are lazy and or terrible.

As far as I know (very little) everyone was a little iffy on it and Retti took the step to give it more time


so what you're saying is the mod team were going to let him be disqualified from the comp while not being sure about it. Lovely.

The game is the actual mafia game when you're playing it.

There are meta-games of that such as making pacts, making impressions in previous games, or outside games. Some types of meta-games are allowed on this site, while playing some meta-games is against the rules.

An example of an allowed meta-game is the one in which you control the information the other players have about you in a game for the purposes of influencing future games.

An example of a disallowed meta-game is the one in which you play to a modified win condition for the purposes of influencing future games.

There is a VERY (objectively nonexistant) thin line between these two meta-games. The only distinction you can make is intent based. In short, this issue will never be resolved.
