Editing Metagame (section)

==The Abstract Game ==
Mathematicians, because they are [[trolls]], have another /tg/ game called Metagame. Its rules are simple: The first move is to pick a ''finite game'' - a game which is guaranteed to end after some finite number of turns no matter what the players pick or what random numbers are generated (through dice or cards or whatever). The second move is to take the first turn inside that game, and all further moves are inside the game.

The trick is the question: is Metagame finite, and therefore a permissible choice for turn one? If it is, you can pick Metagame over and over, and it isn't guaranteed to end. If you can't, then all choices are finite and you're only adding one step, so it's finite.

Opinions vary on whether suggesting a game of Metagame makes you [[That Guy]] or [[This Guy]].
