What is metagaming?
Exactly what is it? Is it always unacceptable? Are some forms acceptable? Or just unavoidable? Is it possible to make rules to stop the most pernicious forms of metagaming?

Game message counter
I like to look at the message counter when choosing opponents. I prefer playing the chattier players. I was over 800 the las time I checked and now I am back to 0. Did I break my counter???
No I know better, but will that be back up?

Obiwanobiwan's NFL Preseason Picks
It's that time of year again- when America straps on the helmets, teams start towards the Superbowl, and the rest of the world asks:
1. Why are Americans so crude?
2. They call THAT violence? Should see a England-Germany match! ;)

Views on Goerge Orwell Great Politicain and Writer, or Pessimistic Pundant
Well it is interesting his great peice Animal farm was written when admiration for Stalin and USSR was at its height in Britain and US. We can all see today that the Totalitarian nightmare that was predicted never came about does this mean that all that pessimism was rubish and that that glim future was not possible?

With regards Putins reasons for not liking Orwell - fair enough. Personally though, whether or not Orwell was an honourable man does not really impact my impression of him as a writer. P G Wodehouse collaborated with Nazi's but I still think his writing is hilarious.
Putin33 (111 D)
02 Sep 09 UTC
Orwell wasn't a good enough writer to ignore all his other flaws. Since his writing - at least his famous writing - is commentary about politics, you can't separate the two in his case. Had Wodehouse bothered to write about any political topic, he wouldn't have been taken seriously. Even despite the fact that he largely wrote about nonsense and was apolitical to a fault, his reputation still took a hit for his despicable conduct during WWII. Not surprisingly, Orwell was among Wodehouse's defenders.
Putin33 (111 D)
02 Sep 09 UTC
Furthermore, Wodehouse is proof par excellence that the "apolitical" is in fact, political.
Invictus (240 D)

Putin, you seem to condemn the actions of the Nazis but I haven't seen a similar level of revulsion against what the Soviet Union was up to. Stalin had millions of Ukrainians killed and forced the migrations of hundreds of ethnic groups far from their homelands. The Soviets occupied Eastern Europe for forty years and brutally crushed any dissent at home.

It doesn't diminish the crimes of the Nazis to admit that the USSR was pretty bad too.

"Orwell wasn't a good enough writer to ignore all his other flaws. Since his writing - at least his famous writing - is commentary about politics, you can't separate the two in his case. "

I think you can. The writing and the man can be viewed as separate things. It is possible for someone to have been an appalling politician and yet still be a great political theorest. Or right great work abouts morality and yet personally live an immoral life.
I am not discounting your opinions, by the way, about the quality of his work. You have stated what you think, I don't know enough about literature to reply.

now i would like Putin to adress Inviticus's point that Putin you have been adressing the horrors of the nazi regime but what about the gulags the killings that the CCCP comited?
Invictus (240 D)
02 Sep 09 UTC
Who's Inviticus?

He'll never answer. If he's picked a name like Putin we can hardly expect him to hold anything but a whitewashed view of the Soviet Union.

Game has been paused. Thu 09 PM
However, the game seems not to have been paused, maybe because of the reset phase times, and Italy has already gone into civil disorder. How is this sort of thing fixed?
