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.

Well, emergent play does sound so much more engaging than meta. Meta feels overly judegemental, like it carries deragotory connotations, like inferior or something, ya know? What activities would you consider meta? Is FQ meta? Seems too unrelated to be meta. How about leaderboard competition?
What if form a group and we meet up at the Wafarer's Roost for some fun :3 We all decide to play monopoly and take turns /randoming and declaring our moves (placing three houses on Parkplace for example) and update our boards at home accordingly. Is that meta? Or does it have to be more about EQ, like maybe magelo gearing competition?
