What about cyber? Meta, or Emergent Gameplay? How does a cam stream alter its position within the paradigm? What about streaming sans webcam?
What about playing dice in game, or racing other players to see who can get to a dragon the fastest?
Need moar info before these words can be properly incorporated into my lexicon.

My opinions:
Cyber would be emergent gameplay, because it is about sex, not EQ, and uses the game mechanics itself (chat, lame emotes, removal of gear, tail flashing, etc).
I don't understand how the cam questions relate to the subject exactly, but its part of game code itself and as such I wouldn't think it could be classified as meta. Not so sure about streaming...streaming a stream would definitely be a meta-stream, but just regular streaming is just a way to view.
Playing dice in game is definitely a game within a game, but if you're using the /rand code it's just emergent gameplay. If you are privately rolling dice and telling others via chat then they or you or both are just being silly.
Racing other players is within the game and would be emergent gameplay.
