Why people who think that people that think people who Meta Gamere are dumb/autists/todlers

Hm. Metagaming. A part of our life on CM. Whether it's the Aliens running straight away from the Rasp or pulling of the yellow crab who has wrapped around your friend and shoved it's tube dick down his/her throat, making you probably in shock and awe. So what do you do? TAKE IT OFF, INJURING YOUR FRIEND IN THE PROCESS.

Ah, but I'm getting a bit off topic here. This is why meta gamers of all shapes and kinds are Autists/Todlers.

First, we start at the Sally Anne test.

Sally has a basket. Anne has a box.

Sally has a marble in her Basket.

Sally then fucks off outside where she can't see her basket.

While Sally is gone, Anne decides to put Sally's Marble out from her basket and into her box, like the stealing damn she is.

Now Sally comes back to her basket.

So, her marble was in the Basket in the beginning, but now Anne stole it and put it in her Box.


Where will Sally look for her Marble?

Real Autistic kids/Todlers usually don't have a theory of mind yet, also known as the MetaGaming idea. So they think Sally is a meta gaming bitch, and assume she tries to look in the box. But we must remember that Sally does not know Anne stole her marble. If people fail this test, they are either a Todler, An Autist, or really dumb.

So people assume that people who think meta gaming is good are stupid.

But everyone Meta Games.

So shut up.

clearly spend 2 hours looking around the house before even thinking about looking in the box...right?

I actually finished this post now, sorry for premature posting, but Sally is assumed to be 6 and therefore smarter than that.

Alas, metagaming is inevitable in multiplayer games, as players attempt to game the system to get the best results possible.

You can argue against it all you want, but as long as there is one guy who plays to win, metagaming, in some form, will stick around.

You know what gets me? Xenos running away from active OBs. At least one xeno should volunteer to stick around and say that it's harmless before blowing the fuck up.

And one marine should volunteer to run into the alien hive in an attempt to initiate diplomacy.

Because you know first contact hue.
