| May 15, 2019 at 12:22 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | @vicky_molokh thanks for the nudge. I agree that the scores below don't really add much clarity: +16/-6 vs. +13/-5 doesn't seem like a huge signal to me. And I went back and took a closer look at the (close/open) votes and flags on the post and see it actually comes to a perfect dozen voting open, a dozen voting closed. (Including half of our top-ten mainsite rep-holders on either side.) So my instinct is just to unlock it and see what happens.... | |
| May 14, 2019 at 14:01 | comment | added | vicky_molokh- unsilence Monica | @nitsua60 So, given that the scores seem to be inconclusive (+10 vs. +8, with the statement that people are wrong being heavily downvoted), how do you interpret the community's stance on the matter (including the at least slight discrepancy between the halls of meta vs. the ground floor of main)? Let nature take its course, or keep the reins? | |

| May 5, 2019 at 18:13 | comment | added | Sycorax | With respect to the dice-rolling problem, I've asked and answered a similar question on stats.SE. stats.stackexchange.com/questions/406723/… | |

| May 5, 2019 at 17:31 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | Yeah, I’m also on the fence. I voted the once and I’m happy to see how it shakes out in aggregate. | |
| May 5, 2019 at 16:33 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | @Stackstuck As I mentioned in my answer, the lack or presence of a migration target simply has no effect on how on-topic something is at RPG.se. | |
| May 4, 2019 at 13:53 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | Though it's certainly the case that if one wants to impact how people behave/think around here, an answer post is going to be a much better way to communicate than scattered comments. | |
| May 4, 2019 at 8:05 | comment | added | doppelgreener Mod | @V2Blast Comments like that are OK on meta. We can have discussion on here, including people voicing what they want. | |
| May 4, 2019 at 4:38 | comment | added | V2Blast | @Stackstuck: Leave that as an answer, not as a comment. (To some degree, this also applies to your comments under Rubiksmoose's answer attempting to argue against it.) | |
| May 3, 2019 at 23:39 | comment | added | Stackstuck | Quite frankly, I'd reopen it in a heartbeat. Especially since the migrate targets that have been brought up so far are practically alien. stats.SE went "use 3(d6-1) in base 6". | |

| May 3, 2019 at 3:09 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | the only reason I responded to mxy in my comment was my point from a previous comment, in concurrence with Seven's previous comment: we don't just serve the querent, but all users who have a similar question in the future. I get why it was closed. I was not a reopen voter the second time around, as I accepted Mxy's point. On the first time around, these are the reopen users: KRyan, KorvinStarmast, SevenSidedDie, PixelMaster, Wyrmwood. But I guess we're wrong. So it goes. Not critical to flight safety | |
| May 3, 2019 at 1:27 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | Even without the (laudable, IMO) real context there, without any RPG context I think it'd still be off-topic for the reason I mention in my blockquoted comment. | |

Fair enough. However, I'm not certain what mod powers are available nor if one mod can unilaterally close a question multiple times. (By the way, it's kind of a shame that the asker said what he wanted the numbers for because I'm pretty sure if the asker just posed the question How can I generate a random number between 1 and 150 in the fewest number of steps using at least one die? the question would've stayed open. :-))

| May 3, 2019 at 1:16 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | Just my vague feeling that a cumulative half-million rep voting in different directions means we probably need more space for hashing it out than just votes and comments on the question itself. But I think "let nature take its course" would be an interesting answer to see in the fray. | |
| May 3, 2019 at 1:14 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | Is there a reason not to let nature take its course? | |
