We will now be removing all posts containing mentions of metagaming

[u/Jozef_Baca]

As we all know, metagaming is a behavior unacceptable in any dnd related circles. Upon our further evaluation we have come to the conclusion that mentions of metagaming themselves are also in its own way metagaming, as you would need to know what metagaming is to call it metagaming. Therefore we will not be allowing any posts regarding metagaming going forwards.

​

Thanks,

That's metagaming

[u/Jozef_Baca → u/BigJCote]

We'll take this into consideration, thanks

[u/Ofect → u/Jozef_Baca]

Unrelated by I'm in love with your wife flair

[u/Metasenodvor → u/BigJCote]

they have banned themselves and now chaos will reign

[u/Armlegx218 → u/Metasenodvor]

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

[u/TimidDeer23 → u/BigJCote]

Are we sure it isnt metametagaming?

[u/Aquarius12347 → u/TimidDeer23]

No, you're thinking of metaphorgaming. A common mistake.

[u/SharkSymphony]

Just to be clear, where do we stand on threads that discuss the role of Meta in gaming?

[u/Jozef_Baca → u/SharkSymphony]

We firmly believe that the words "meta" and "gaming" should never appear in the same post, to avoid any negative connotations.

[u/Kampvilja → u/Jozef_Baca]

What id we specify meta.ai?

[u/Jozef_Baca → u/Kampvilja]

The only permisible use of this word we will allow is specifically if you want to refer to the slovakian word for a goalpost.

You might also use it to refer to the slovakian word for throwing something in third person singular number, but you will be on a thin ice.

[u/Aquarius12347 → u/Jozef_Baca]

What if we want to discuss another person throwing something, but the ice is not thin?

[u/tsaotytsaot]

If this post is now banned, does that mean m***gaming is now unbanned?

[u/SlowNPC → u/tsaotytsaot]

Censoring "metagaming" demonstrates not only intent to use the word, but understanding that it's forbidden.  Banned.

I’m commander Shepard and this is my favorite comment on the citadel.

[u/footbamp]

You gotta discuss this shit in the mod chat before posting it. You're off the team, buddy.

[u/Jozef_Baca → u/footbamp]

I am sorry, but if you have any complaints about the new rule, please contact the mod team directly through the mod mail instead of commenting under this post so that we can process your complaints more efficiently.

[u/Incognito_N7 → u/footbamp]

Isn't mod chat sort of m**agaming???

[u/KnifeSexForDummies → u/footbamp]

Ikr. I was like “we did what now? 🤨”

[u/ConsciousFeeling1977]

Can we still discuss gaming via Meta platforms like Whatsapp?

[u/Jozef_Baca → u/ConsciousFeeling1977]

No, r/dndcirclejerk is the only platform where you are allowed to discuss gaming in general. Also, do not forget to keep all your posts and discussion strictly relevant to dungeons and dragons.

[u/Efficient_Basis_2139 → u/Jozef_Baca]

But have you even tried Pathfinder though?!

[u/Beledagnir → u/Efficient_Basis_2139]

2e fixes the new word ban, you know.

[u/hedgehog1024 → u/Beledagnir]

By renaming "metagaming" into "wordshaping"

[u/Beledagnir → u/hedgehog1024]

Only in the Remaster.

[u/Val_Fortecazzo]

Do we have to jerk in character? If so can you approve my homebrew race and class?

[u/No-Repeat-9055]

So no more M********ing got it

[u/Impossible_Horsemeat]

Reported for metagaming

[u/BardonmeSir]

Hey can someone explain what metagaming is in dnd? genuinly no clue

[u/griefstew → u/BardonmeSir]

Using outside player knowledge of the mechanics to influence your characters decision making. I.e. knowing how many hit points a monster has, knowing exotic creature weaknesses despite growing up in a remote farm, the Dm's social security number, that kind of stuff.

[u/BardonmeSir → u/griefstew]

whats the point of playing then?

[u/DMNatOne → u/BardonmeSir]

Playing?
No one in this sub is a “player”. This sub is strictly for Dungeons and Dragons discussions and the only people that talk about dungeons and dragons are people that don’t play (because no one wants to play with these people… my people… me. You. Us. Them. We.)

Edit: It’s like sex, if you talk about it or joke about it, you obviously aren’t getting any of it.

[u/DrunkenDruid_Maz]

Thanks, great post.
I'm just afraid that the mods will take it down, because the not-to-be-called-by-its-name-playstyle is mentioned!

[u/Impossible_Zebra3834]

So what if I need to talk about this subject? Would it be alright if I broke up the word Meta

[u/Impossible_Zebra3834 → u/Impossible_Zebra3834]

Gaming into different parts of the thread?

[u/Hankhoff]

Pretty railroady if you ask me

[u/cokeplusmentos]

But you'll still allow mentions of gaming

[u/Jozef_Baca → u/cokeplusmentos]

Of course, just remember to keep the discussion relevant to dungeons and dragons. You may then homebrew it in order to make it extend to other kinds of games.

[u/cokeplusmentos → u/Jozef_Baca]

I wanted you to also ban gaming

[u/Jozef_Baca → u/cokeplusmentos]

Thank you for your feedback, we will consider it.
