The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

Shameless self-promotion? I'm in!

I think you need a new section for that one.

What about my pre-1400 tech thread?
That got plenty of good discussion.

Should it be?  I mean, I like the idea, but it seems like the discussion is three pages of bitching about the x-box.

More on topic, have you thought about separating out the managed solutions into their own catagory?

I think that the idea itself is very good. The topic is kinda derailed, but it happens a lot on this forum... ::)

..as for your question, could you give me some example?

Since you seem to be cataloging at a rather extreme rate, some sort of category system might help.

for starters you could break it up into major groups, like dwarves, jobs, buildings etc like the wiki does. looks at OP and does facepalm

I think granite means threads like this, mine, his mechanics thread etc...threads that aren't fire and forget.

pretty much.  A lot of the managed lists are aggregations of ideas from separate places.  For instance, the UD thread pretty much has every UD idea anybody has ever suggested.  There doesn't seem to be a lot of need to track the original threads as well, since he's got the links to the originals there.  It'll make your OP a lot cleaner.

At the risk of being vain and flogging my own:

http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=23963.0

None of that's really original, but it's never been formally suggested (AFAIK)-- and I view it as largely a prereq for tunnelling enemies, and as a way to consolidate one of the game's high level abstractions.

Nice little suggestion, its weird that it has zero replies.
Im going to add it to the list.
