When applied to starcraft you are completely wrong. I did wrong you, you have no idea what your talking about. So lol at the forum rookie acting like he isn't ignorant. Sorry bro, when applied to starcraft the meaning has always been different, you could even say 'incorrectly' used but it doesn't change the fact that you are wrong.
Lol! Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my post count makes you feel that your superior somehow, but you are, in fact, wrong. Just because you have a bunch of friends who might support the same invalid applications that you do, it doesn't mean that your ideas are right.
The definition of Metagaming is as I, and every other source that I've seen, confirmed. If you believe otherwise, then you are sadly mistaken.
Also, good job on backing up your arguments. You really made your point well.

jtype's take on it is what i primarily think of when i see the word. it seems perfectly reasonable - what is so offensive about it? please don't be so aggressive and condescending about these definitions, especially to new members.
edit: id8 wanna buy an icon off of me for many $$$$$s?

OK, I will back down now, as trying to argue the point will get me nowhere. I know it seems like I'm being stubborn about it, but honestly, if I could be given some reasonable explanations about this, I would certainly be willing to readjust my perspective on this.
I am really grateful for the work everyone's done on the Liquipedia project (including you AttackZerg) and am really looking forward to benefiting from the experience of all you guys. It's an amazing undertaking and one that will even further advance TL above all other SC communities.
Respect.

I would need idra,ret and artosis's help since they have an actual finger on the pulse of the meta-game while my level of play and understanding isn't high enough.

Oh man. Our eventual conclusion was to divide metagame (a technical term for what you mean) with meta-game (a literal word meaning beyond or outside the game). You mean metagame :p. This is going to get confusing.

TL.net and delays = tradition. Same as Blizzard and soon 
Most people prolly already got used to it that's why we see no 5000 posts "omg you are late" (only few such posts :p) or anything. Too bad that there was no counter, which would like stop at 5 seconds, that would be soooo classic :D
P.s.

As much as I'm sure you're all waiting for this the technical delays are making liquipedia significantly better imo. Yesterday we all rallied for a last burst of content completion before we made it public. It's still not public and that burst is still going on. The threat of it opening is getting stuff done.

Sad confession: Was browsing TL and all of a sudden it wouldn't load the next page of whatever I was reading, first thing I though was OMFG LIQUIPEDIA! Turns out my browser just crashed.  (((((((

@ jtype and attackzerg
The word metagame has two uses so you're both right. What jtype is saying is correct - decisions based on information from outside of the rules structure of the game is called metagaming. The Starcraft community (and other gaming communities) often refer to this as "mindgames".
However metagame as a noun certainly has another very widely used meaning - it describes the state of the commonly employed strategies of the players of the game as a whole. For example the current TvZ pro metagame involves a lot of wraith builds, mech builds, and valkyrie-bionic builds. That is what AttackZerg is referring to, and I think that is the more common use of the word when it is applied to StarCraft.
If you guys had read the wikipedia article for the word you'd see it mentions both.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagaming
Another game-related use of Metagaming refers to operating on knowledge of the way a game is played within a particular geographic region or tournament circuit. This local or circuit-specific context is often referred to as the metagame.
Just replace "particular geographic region or tournament circuit" with "the current pro scene".
