colliding 10/28/21 2:55:06 PM #8:	The other week a student of mine was talking about smash and the "meta-game," and he claimed that meta stood for "most effective tactics available." Is this actually what people have been meaning this whole time when they say the "meta game?"

It is that but in games where people's strategies shift frequently due to balance patches, expansions, or just experimentation, reacting to other strategies becomes dynamic and starts to resemble a separate game played alongside the actual game.

BlackMageJawa 10/28/21 4:41:36 PM #21:	'Meta' is greek for 'beyond'. 'Metagame' refers to making strategic decisions based on information from outside the game you're currently playing- eg, building a TCG deck to counter deck types that are currently popular, or having your RPG character act on information that you know as a player even thoug there's no way your character would have access to that information. --- The shattered stage is set and there's a role you must fulfil <cite>BlackMageJawa posted [p:959478763] in Facebook c...
