The 1st time I completed Dead in The Deep when I got to paragraph 75 I correctly solved The Puzzle, but by mistake I turned to paragraph 200, read the 1st few words rather then the paragraph number, believed I'd got the puzzle wrong and died
A hour or so later I decided to double check, I discovered that I hadn't got the answer wrong, rather by I'd turned to the wrong paragraph, read the 1st few words rather then the paragraph number, believed I'd got the puzzle wrong and died, I then restarted at paragraph 202 and eventually won
So my question is this. Because I correctly solved The Puzzle, but by mistake I turned to paragraph 200, read the 1st few words rather then the paragraph number, believed I'd got the puzzle wrong and died did I technically cheat by restarting at paragraph 202?, personally I believe that since I correctly solved The Puzzle, but by mistake I turned to paragraph 200 what I did wasn't cheating rather what I did was the right thing to do |

Depending on how strict your particular playthrough is, I suppose. If you’re playing in a manner that requires you to accept the outcome of a decision regardless of inadvertent error or potential book error, then yes. But if not, I personally don’t believe a little meta-gaming is something to worry about. These are personal game books, it’s not as if you’re playing in a tournament.

Sounds like very good advise thanks. Also I don't know if this sounds dumb or not but I know almost nothing about the term meta-gaming. Could you please tell me as much as possible about what meta-gaming is?, what the term actually means?, how it works?, if theirs more then 1 type of meta-gaming? and what doing it involves?

Why not look it up yourself?! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagaming_(role-playing_games)There you go. That took me 3 seconds. |
