Meta

== The Realm of Meta ==
=== What is "Meta"? ===
==== Meta as term: ====
Meta is used to describe anything about the RP not within the Main RPverse itself or information pertaining to out of universe or out-of-character posts in the Discord (particularly on #meta) or any tweets prefaced marked off by "M-", "[M]", (M)", or "Meta Post:" 
===== Meta as an adjective: =====
As an adjective, the use of meta as a term becomes a descriptive contextual term meaning "Of or relating to 'Meta' or that which is considered 'Meta'"
==== Meta as a "place": ====
Meta or "Metaland" is the term used to describe meta as a "location", more specifically when referring to/for the Meta Channel on the KR RP Discord Server. This is usually where the majority of The Cancer takes place outside of Twitter, as arguments, memes, retcons, retcon requests, complaints, and debates all tend to randomly appear or occur on the Meta Channel in the KR RP Discord (though they can sometimes break out both in Meta and IRP post threads on Twitter, but this happens far less frequently now).
=== Meta Posts ===
"Meta Posts" are the name of one of the more abundant examples of Meta Content/Discourse. These are the main and really only official form (besides a majority of joke posts) of meta among the KR Twitters. Meta Posts are usually prefaced by something signifying their nature (as mentioned a few sections above), and usually at least 1 makes it into every Tweet Thread. 
=== Meta vs. IRP ===
Meta refers to things occurring either outside of the RPverse in general or specifically IRL-related stuff, it is fundamentally the opposite of "IRP", or In [the] Role Play, which refers to all stuff occuring within the RPverse and explicitly not occurring outside of it. However on Discord the lines can be blurred on certain channels like #battle-bot_war-room. 
=== Use of Meta as a defence mechanism against accusations: ===
Sometimes Meta or something being Meta in nature can be used as a defense for accusations IRP if said accusations are based on things considered Meta. This has occurred numerous times in the community.
