mk, so metagame is everything that happens in the environment that is NOT std and affects the images in the game. is that about right? and thanks for the shania linky.

yeah, kinda. it can be used more in a broad sense too. like games in general today are much more agressive than they were 10 years ago, so against unknowns, trapping would be more viable now than it was then, for metagame reasons, etc.
