Though I'd appreciate it if you read what I actually wrote, which was not asking you to repeat yourself, but to entertain the thought of whether or not you'd be pissed at a brand new completely unknowledgeable player that couldn't possibly be meta-gaming, blatantly or otherwise, playing their character, guessing about something, and happening to guess correctly - and then explaining to me how that is different for your immersion in the game when compared to an experienced and knowledgeable player role-playing their character in the exact same way.If you can give me a concrete, non-circular logic, reason why an experienced player playing the same character in the same way as you would be perfectly accepting of a brand-new doesn't-know-squat player playing their character causes any harm to your enjoyment of the game, that'd be great.That's precisely why I divided my statement that there is no such thing as metagaming into two categories: those things which can be guessed, luckily stumbled upon, or attempted without any kind of knowledge about how they will turn out (i.e. attacking what happens to be a troll with fire) which can't be metagaming because they don't actually rely on knowledge that the character doesn't have - and those things which cannot be guessed, cannot be luckily stumbled upon, and cannot be attempted without specific knowledge (which are difficult to provide an example of because they are very much scenario specific... but knowing what a coded message says without finding the decryption cypher comes to mind).</blockquote>
