Lol!! Don't 'wrong' me! That is exactly what the definition of 'metagaming' is. If you don't agree then you don't understand the word.
edit - Actually, I should expand on that. I don't mean that Metagaming is when people break the rules, as such, but rather when people go outside of the rules as prescribed by the creators of the game. The scope of this is very wide. It can include such things as trying to gain a psychological advantage with constant harassment, confusing your enemy with 'ninja' expansions, stacking units, etc.

This is what I thought because of my literal interpretation of the word meta. However the general consensus is that the term means something else and until we get a gaming dictionary we should follow the consensus to try and avoid confusion.

wondering as well! awesome stuff though.
to put it in tasteless words: i'm so pumped to see it in action, tlnet are such ballers!

I think 12 more hours? 36 hours from when the thread is made would equal 12 hours from now?

Oh ok. Well, all the definitions that I've heard of the word are along similar lines to the one that I mentioned, but if there is a general consensus of accepting different one, then that's fair enough.
Although, it would be nice to hear a bit more of an explanation of the "correct" definition here on TL, instead of the rather insulting "wrong" that I was presented with.
