Meta Gaming 101
Host: Dust University
Date: Wednesday, October 30th
Time: 0300 Eve Time - That will be 11:00pm Eastern Standard Time on the 30th.
Speaker: TrueXer0z
Run Time: 45+ Minutes - 15+ Minute Q&A Post Lecture
Chat Channel: Lecture.D-UNI
Note: If you have any Questions about the lecture time please contact "TrueXer0z" in game.
Greetings Mercs,
The time has come for people to know what other aspects of the game can be utilized to further the ambitions of your rise to power. Within Dust 514 we have already seen empires rise and fall and the game is so young and in many cases, still building its foundation. Meta Gaming is a very large part of the New Eden universe. It brings us together, tears us apart. It is what starts and ends the most epic of conflicts. Those who embrace some of the more devious aspects of this art form lurk in shadow waiting to strike when the time is right. Others use this form of game play to build relationships within our community and strengthen the bond between the different corporations.
That all being said, meta gaming is what makes the New Eden universe stand out above the majority of MMOs. There are so many aspects that have yet to be explored within our humble game of Dust514. Join Dust University in our Lecture channel and maybe gain some insight, ideas, or just enjoy the rants of a crazy man that has way too much time on his hands. There will be a Lecture portion that last 45+ minutes and a open forum Q&A after words.
We ask that everyone who joins the channel to please respect the speaker and have your push to talk set to ON. This is to avoid any interruption within the lecture itself. We here in the Dust University hope to see people from all kinds of different corporations attending and welcome alternative ideas on the subject during the Q&A. Thank you all very much for your time. See you there.

Wooo...I go to sleep and look at all the posts. Fun times. This is good. I scanned through most of it. But Someone said something that caught my eye. Forum trolling is a form of Meta Gaming. People take the time to say anything negative they can to get a rise out of people and provoke a response. It can be used in many ways. Most people do it just for the laughs, some have alternative motives. Either way it is a promotion of what this class is about.
Meta Gaming is such a broad subject. So many aspects can be use to manipulate the game we play. I honestly don't feel it is something CCP hoped would allow them to slack, but leave things open. Allow the player to create their own universe in which they can become almost anything they want.
Yes, the game is still a long way from complete. I couldn't agree more. We as players should take the time to constructively come together and help CCP understand the biggest issues at this moment. Which I think we do already on some levels. Think about what you are saying as well. Are your ideas based on absolute fact, or just random encounters in which you did not benefit from? We as players have more control over the progression of this games development then any other game in history. Dust & Eve. Be thankful for that.
This post was a product of Meta Gaming. Every action has a reaction. |

I'm against this class on the sole purpose that you are going to possibly teach people how to look out for scams. Which is bad for my business. Thanks anyways 
lol you are right. Scamming is a big part of the meta gaming. And I will be covering scams in the lecture briefly. I myself haven't thought of many scams you could run in Dust so it might be limited. But I would welcome the perspective of a more experienced scammer during the Q&A open forum. |

So now Dust University teaches people how to create their own stories, so CCP don't have to ? Teaching someone how to create their own story, and teaching someone the aspects of meta-gaming, are two different subjects. The latter is what this is about. Rather than jump to a negative conclusion, why don't you come out Wednesday night and see what it's actually about? That's it. you presume you have something to teach other people to the point that you advertise it in a lecture format. I would not have said anything if this were not a pervasive pattern in your corp.
You make a valid point even if you were not trying to. There is no reason because it is labeled a lecture that I know anything about Meta Gaming. A lecture in itself is defined as: an educational talk to an audience, especially one of students in a university. I can say that I only speak from my own personal experiences and from factual information gained from almost 7 years on being a part of the New Eden Universe. The Lecture will include ideas and opinion base information and what facts that can be shared on the subject.
Normally I wouldn't feed a troll attempt, but I am going to use your statement to not only bump this post so others can see it and hopefully participate, but as you have already seen, explain a bit more about what the lecture will be about. You my friend are only now being used as a tool to further my ability to propagate (spread and promote) this event. Thus, Meta Gaming in the works all over this thread. Thank you for the help. |
