Metagaming refers to the act of playing a game on top of, our outside of a game. Due to the goal-less, and extremely open nature of Minecraft, there exists the possibility of playing a game within the game. A great example of such a metagame is Spleef.
NOTE: PLEASE! Before you create a page, please see the section titled User:Jonnay/Meta Gaming#New Meta Gaming Pages
[edit] New Meta Gaming Pages
Creating meta-gaming pages is a bit of a sore-spot on this wiki. In fact, right now all the meta-gaming pages are on my user-space so that they won't get deleted, and I can hopefully show (as a proof of concept) that these pages can indeed be valuable to the community at large.
If you do decide to add a metagame page, please try to keep these guidelines in mind:
- A metagame really only deserves its own page if it has a formal set of rules like Spleef or User:Jonnay/TotemQuest
- If your metagame doesn't have any formal rules, and is easy to describe, don't make a full page for it, instead add it to User:Jonny/Meta Game Ideas
- General Classes of meta games might have their own page, for instance User:Jonnay/War Meta Games
- Original Metagame ideas are encouraged, but please mark it as such. Original metagames that don't get much attention may get deleted, so don't use the wiki as your only copy!
If you want to add a page, either add it to my userspace or your own userspace. I don't think mediawiki controls who can edit what pages in someones userspace, but I don't know for sure.
