Done. Listed all that I could find and that I know of. If I missed any, please post a reply here...

So you play at internet cafe on a daily basis? Or at work? And what is the percent of such people?
I don't. But I do know people that do. My point has nothing at all to do with the percentage of the people that do so, but rather the statement that others were making in this thread that it was no problem at all to use Firefox, simply because they wanted to get their way.
For the record, I USE Firefox and I USE Greasemonkey. This isn't about me. That doesn't mean I can't make reasonable arguments against something that doesn't apply directly to me.

Like this guy...he just wants to get his way. Tyranny of the majority, all the way.

Dako might remember that I am one of those people who has system issues and cannot load Firefox. Well, I can load it, it just destabilizes and bluescreens my computer, so I cannot use any of those addons. There were others who commented on a thread in bugs and other who commented on threads in the addons forum claiming they had issues with firefox/google chrome/BOB/greasemonkey in terms of system requirements/system destabilization/personal computer slowing down/etc.

Wouldn't it be easier just to have an actual poll?

@Woodruff - I never told that you had problems with FIrefox. I actually do read your posts (sometimes twice ;)) and you have already stated that you use them and see no problem. But anyway, I think that supporting minority is overrated nowadays, in most of the sphere, be they computer gaming or political strategies.
@QH - Yes, I remember your case. But inability to use Firefox... sorry, but I can only say that your computer system is flawed and you need to reinstall Windows. Firefox is like Google or Facebook - it cannot be not working on itself.

Done. Listed all that I could find and that I know of. If I missed any, please post a reply here...
Can we get links to the corresponding Add-On for each of those? Yes, I could go look it up in the Add-On forum, but it would probably be best to have everyone referring to the same thing. Besides, it's probably asking too much of most of the people that post on here to take extra effort to familiarize themselves with all the listed add-ons unless they're particularly interested (just to be clear, I'm in that same group - I really couldn't tell you what "Turn Watch," for example, does, and I haven't bothered to go find out).

Can't. Polls can only support up to 15 options.
Ah, I did not know that. Perhaps a couple of polls that split items into "like items" then?

Help me out. Have I listed too many or too few? Do I need a descriptor for each?

I would include a link to each thread. Other than that, and the actual opinions rolling in, I'm pleased.

Which add-ons would you like to see built in first?
In the coming weeks, I will compile links to suggestions to turn an add-on (script, greasemonkey, BOB, maprank, whatever) into a built-in component to the site.
This week we happily received the clickable maps (previously an add-on) as a built-in component to the site. Post here if you would like to see other applications made into permanent aspects of the site.
I'm taking a cue from another suggestion and self-reserving the next two posts so that more information can be added in those posts and edited over time...polls will come and go...results will order the add-ons in list of community desired priority...
List of add-ons in order of community desire:
First poll will determine the initial list
Links to various suggestions about turning an add-on into a built-in and a list of the add-ons that don't have a suggestion associated with them:
I think that all add-ons, especially clickies, should be abolished. Instead of making the coding more complex, why not simplify it and get back down to the basics of Risk, strategy and CC? I've played my few years on this site with nothing whatsoever besides cunning and brilliance. I built my way from noob to captain, and then eventually major, as a freemium. Why not reintroduce "fun"? I mean, what's really the point of fog if BOB's going to analyse every move and tell you what occurred (particularly the snapshot feature)? Might as well play without fog.
