I wanted to pick a square tileset I liked, but looking at the wiki (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset_repository#8.C3.978) it is not at all clear what tilesets are crap and which are generally likable.

So I created a Slant question here: http://www.slant.co/topics/1833/~what-is-the-best-dwarf-fortress-tileset

If you aren't familiar with Slant, it is a new up and coming site where you can vote for the "best" of whatever. In this case, we could all get together and put up our favorite tilesets along with why they are so great. I hope I discover some new great tilesets!

Anybody care to join me?

Well, how do you vote, for one thing? you could just ask people what tileset they like. (I have mike Mayday's tileset.)

You vote by clicking the up arrow on the choice you like. I am only familiar with the Haberdash tileset, so I've added that option and voted it up myself.

The reason I don't want to just ask "What is your favorite tileset" is because it's really hard to determine from a whole bunch of forum posts a "best" or "top 5" tilesets. You'd have to go through and tally votes, etc. Much easier to just use a platform that already supports that kind of thing.

I've gone ahead and added Mike Mayday's tileset to the options! Vote for it if you think it's the best.

Well there's a poll option then there's this. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=135975.0

Odd site. I'm having a difficult time seeing the benefits of this over a simple poll, especially in a case like tilesets. It's not like they have very specific pros and cons to differentiate them other than 'is it graphical or not'.
