Metagaming: Public, Private, or not at all?

[parone]

i would be inclined to avoid playing with players who employed those tactics. dom3 is very thematic if you use just a little imagination. and that stuff really, really detracts from that quality of the game.

that stuff stems from the "don't lose at all costs" attitude. personally i don't mind losing. i fully expect to lose. their are often 10+ other players in the game, and i am, quite frankly, not all that good a player.

but i still enjoy trying to play, and being part of a game with a group of players who participate the "right" way.
