The metagame has little to do with role-playing games in general, and nothing to do with the situation provided by Percy Snoodle. Also, we don't have to suppose that there is a four-move win in chess because there is a four-move win in chess. Reisen 06:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
This part "Player A is trying to figure out the hidden move that Player B has made. A thinks that it may be Move X, which Move Y can counter. However, Player B may have thought of that and not played Move X. Then A realizes that maybe B wanted A to think that and has made Move X. It is an infinite regress, and A cannot predict the move without more information." is not metagaming but only logic.
