Yeah, if it were that easy to get our community to reach a consensus about these things we wouldn't have had arguments about this stuff for the past few weeks.

I'm looking for a MMORPG played through an internet browser that has strong strategy or economy elements. It should be persistent (i.e. not reset) and not take up too much time each day.
Any suggestions?
question 2) if your question is part of another question (which asks more than one thing) but the answers all address other parts of those questions, what is the proper procedure?
> This is now a pretty specific request. Voted to reopen. "Awesomest multiplayer?" is a disaster, but "Are there any high-production value games featuring plumbers jumping on mushroom-esque bad guys" has correct answers. This clearly falls in between, but I think it's now a lot closer to the latter. -- Jaydles
sorry, but do you think we could get back on topic?
"if your question is part of another question (which asks more than one thing) but the answers all address other parts of those questions, what is the proper procedure?"
:129847 ok, while I agree having fewer rules is better, having a convention of handling this kind of thing is a good thing to have now, so we don't run into problems later
Another question I've had: When viewing a player's ranking in Starcraft 2, it tells you their rank in their "division."
Why are players segregated into divisions?
Do the divisions really mean anything? Are the lower/higher rated divisions better?
Are you more likely to be placed with/against...
About how many hours of gameplay does it offer?
I would say a dozen.
Is there a point to playing it after winning?
Yes. The mechanics are interesting and different enough that there is (limited) replay value.
Is there a "freestyle" mode or other way to just mess arou...
Yeah, I know, at least 17 of those upvotes are for Portal, not for my answer
I've heard from many people that Portal is a great game, etc. But is it really worth me getting? Specifically:

I've been looking through various questions, and I feel [heart-gold] and [soul-silver] should be retagged as [heartgold] and [soulsilver] respectively, as in the official titles the name is one single word. What does everybody else think?
Looks like we're going to stick with the hyphenated tags.
I've had many experiences where the very fact of roleplaying triggered some concerned comment from the "uninitiated," likely parents or neighbors. Some examples:
A friend of mine hosted a Vampires session in a small square in his neighborhood, during a very nice summer evening. They played by c...
How about instead of List of X, you just add a Discussion or Poll close reason?
That's really what a list is on a Stack Exchange site where answers get voted for - a poll. Most of the annoying bikeshed questions on existing sites are, in fact, polls of some sort. So how about instead of relyin...
Consider this: 1. we allow discussion, poll, game-rec, whatever questions, but only as CW. 2. only Mr. Community can bump CW questions (with the exception of questions that became CW due to excessive editing).
has it occurred to anyone else that almost any questions about counters or the best way to do X in a game are also subjective and tend to require discussion?
I have a dwarf who died of thirst in my jewellers. He's been there for, like half a year now. He's a skeleton now. No one has gone in to the workshop despite there being lots of jobs assigned there, no one will move the body. I tried telling them to dump it, but no one went near it. Why hasn't an...
I've got a corpse in my fort spreading miasma. I build a casket, placed it, designated it as open to citizens, and almost all dwarfs have the burial skill enabled. It has a description of "This is the resting place of Olon Toraltubul", which is the name on the corpse. Why is the corpse still layi...

Taxicab geometry, considered by Hermann Minkowski in the 19th century, is a form of geometry in which the usual metric of Euclidean geometry is replaced by a new metric in which the distance between two points is the sum of the absolute differences of their coordinates. The taxicab metric is also known as rectilinear distance, L1 distance or \ell1 norm (see Lp space), city block distance, Manhattan distance, or Manhattan length, with corresponding variations in the name of the geometry. The latter names allude to the grid layout of most streets on the island of Manhattan, which causes the...
There are two way to do this.
The Stockpile Way
By designating a stockpile right next to your masons workshop, and only allowing the stone you want to use on that stockpile, and removing/forbidding all other stone around the workshop, the mason will grab the stone you want him to use, as that ...
What I had was a "safe" burrow and an "unsafe" burrow. So in an alert I could order them all into the safe one. But I'm trying to change it to one burrow per industry, plus a central stockpile burrow.
