The textual chessboard at the beginning of Through the Looking-Glass (1871) makes this crystal clear, establishing the whole book as a game—or maybe a metagame—that unfolds through the act of reading, each chapter corresponding to a “move” by Alice’s profoundly overwhelmed pawn.
gloss: The exploitation of the rules etc. of some other game, at a higher level than simply playing the game normally; a game outside or peripheral to the actual gameplay.
pos: noun
tags: countable
uncountable
examples: But usually when people refer to the metagame, they mean things such as unlockables or customizable features. The problem with metagames is that they almost always damage the games they surround. […] Metagames also often create motivations that conflict with the inherent motivations of the core game.
The “real-life” activities of EVE community members are a striking example of when a game begins to evolve into another type of simulation. In this instance, the metagame becomes a kind of political simulation that starts to manifest itself more off the screen than it does within the virtual society.
Even before the box is open, the metagame has begun. The metagame is the drama unfolding between the players. The metagame involves manipulating the emotions of your opponents. The metagame gives you the feeling of triumph that comes from collaborative problem-solving.
But the thing with Elden Ring, as with all the Souls titles before it, is that the metagame – the stuff that goes on around the actual on-screen action – is as important as the game itself. This is an arcane, esoteric universe where players must work together on discord channels and message boards to figure out the best courses of action.

examples: Capitation started out as a popular method for reimbursing primary care physicians/gatekeepers. Now capitated contracts can be seen in every area of healthcare... ... because of varying volumes, not all specialty care providers should be capitated at the same time. For example, higher volume services (e.g., laboratory, radiology, orthopedics, and cardiology) are usually first to be capitated. Specialists and other medical services that are used infrequently (e.g., neonatologists, neurosurgeons) or "high ticket" specialists (e.g., open heart surgeons) are usually capitated last, if at all. The cost of their services is relatively high and a miscalculation in projected membership or actual utilization can have a large financial impact.

I've lived up in those selfsame mountains, and let me assure you that while I owned and drove several older VWs, I would not have spent a single March up there without one that would reliably make it to Dominican Hospital at flank speed. And faced with the same situation, would probably still have elected to have the amby meet me at the Safeway in Felton, or the fire house in BC.
Where do you get this statement, the amby has a bigger impact on peoples^([sic]) lives than the fire service.
Does anyone know where the EMD station is based for North Staffs Amby Service?
Well that's it I've been thinking about whether to keep the dam thing or not and after getting a look at Grumble (and a few whispers from said truck) myself and my partner are going to convert not 1 but 2 101 ambies and take them around the world hoping to ship out in about 4-5 yrs time.
Aerrrhhh, good point. So if you don't move over, the Amby hits you in the rear and leaves a paint marker on your bumper?
Thanx steff I actually turned left because I felt uncomfortable with the amby behind me :)
Puncture wounds, deep cuts, choking. That's just a start. Any of those could lead to death before the ambies arrive.
We watched as he was taken out of the amby, loaded into the helo, and saw the helo take off.

Despite most urban women managing to make it to hospitals to give birth, TNIE finds that a rare few have given birth in the belly of an amby. […] As luck would have it, the natural childbirth went off without a hitch and a healthy 1.8 kg female child was born in the ambulance — chalking one more successful ‘amby baby’ birth.
■ The Ambulance Tracking System locates the ambulances closest to the caller and pops it up on the operator’s screen. They select the closest fit and assign an amby ■ The location of the caller is sent to the amby and they swing into action. Hospitals are being mapped by geo-tagging. Soon, the nearest hospital will also show up on the amby screen with the quickest route on Google maps15
