My question: Is this chicken smarter/better looking than the blizzard employee/employees that decided to exclude Metalopolis from the ladder, instead of just removing close position, whilst still having Shattered temple WITH close position and not fixing that aswell? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/t1vrd.jpg) | ||

I know it's pretty easy to spot cloaked protoss and terran units (ghosts, bansheets, DTs and obs), without having detection, but is it possible at all to spot burrowed zerg units without any detection? You cannot spot stationary burrowed zerg units, like banelings, but you can spot moving burrowed zerg units, like infestors and roaches. There is a slight ripple animation in the ground. | ||

My question: Is this chicken smarter/better looking than the blizzard employee/employees that decided to exclude Metalopolis from the ladder, instead of just removing close position, whilst still having Shattered temple WITH close position and not fixing that aswell? Well I'm not sure if this forum is the correct place to really cover this question, being as it is one of the questions that have plagued mankind since the dawn of time. In much the same way as "which came first, the egg or the very handsome rooster mentioned and shown in your post" I can do my best to provide input but I don't think I can settle the extensive question here. So first, we need to work out the various aspects to the question. + Show Spoiler [The Questions] + How smart is that rugged looking rooster? Just how good looking is that fine specimen? Which Blizzard employee(s) were responsible for the change? How smart is the Blizzard employee who removed Metalopolis? Just how good looking is the person/team at Blizzard who removed Metalopolis? How smart is that rugged looking rooster? Whilst there is of course no way to be certain without having the pleasure of meeting him, we can make guesses about his intelligence. First, he clearly has some exceptional breeding history and so it is not unreasonable to assume he has inherited some potential for intelligence, so we know that if he uses it he's probably quite a competitor in the academic arts. As we can see from his feet in the image he is clearly in the middle of perfecting his dancing skills, possibly something classical, and undoubtedly elegant. This means that we can assume he is well versed in both the theory and practice of the historic arts, all the while able to arrange his time to make sure he looks knee-weakening gorgeous every day, which cannot be a simple task. Further looking in to the perfect orbs that are his eye's he is clearly pondering something of amazing importance...if only we could speak with him we might discover amazing new things about our universe. As it stands it is purely conjecture on our part, but clearly he is considering something of great importance, possibly years ahead of modern scientific advancement. Overall, I think we can safely assume this chicken might well be the most intelligent being that has ever set foot on our planet. Just how good looking is that fine specimen? This is a question I don't think needs much time. Has there ever been a more majestic entity? A being that exudes more sexual magnetism? I must admit, his majesty is so overwhelming I'm finding it difficult to write this section, he's just so dreamy. I think we can all agree that matching his almost perfect, manly body would be impossible for almost any human. Which Blizzard employee(s) were responsible for the change? Ultimately, and sadly, there is no way to answer this. We don't know who removed it, or what their reasoning was even. It might have been a mistake that no-one wanted to own up to, or a malevolent plan to destabilise the StarCraft 2 community enough that they could manipulate us in to destroying the world as sick puppets of their will. At any rate, if we assume it was their best and brightest we can see if it is even possible that they could compete with my future husband, the sexy rooster. To do otherwise is to reach a conclusion already. How smart is the Blizzard employee who removed Metalopolis? As explained above, we find ourselves having to assume that the best and brightest at Blizzard were the ones who removed the map, so just how smart would that person be? Clearly Blizzard has some truly great minds working for them. Mostly diabolically evil minds, but a genius rarely matched all the same. These are people who can make a knock off game, Warcraft in space, and have it become the greatest game of all time by just tweaking it to fool us, the masses. That's evil. World of Warcraft is another example, they've enthralled over 10 million minds to the extent they'll pay for shiny star ponies that even they mock, where good normal people will pay every month at a chance to steal imaginary swords from one and other, and where every terrible expansion is the most anticipated game of any given year. Could there be a more evil or brilliant scheme? I don't think so. Clearly, these are minds to be reckoned with. Just how good looking is the person/team at Blizzard who removed Metalopolis? Again, without an actual person for comparison we can't be certain, as with so many things that keep this a question that plagues our most distinguished scientists and philosophers. If we are to keep this comparison accurate we'll compare the most handsome man with the rooster, to try to keep the gender variable to the same. Now if we assume the average man is a 5/10 and we're taking the best looking person at Blizzard we can assume a very handsome guy, maybe coming in at an 8. If we adjust by +1 because I love nerds and he's probably a nerd, we can assume a 9/10. Not bad, whoever you are! (Call me) So we can see that this question is unfortunately very subjective, and almost impossible to pin down, which is what makes it so difficult to answer. When it comes down to it, that chicken is probably the most intelligent and beautiful creature ever on the planet and so it is likely that yes, he is more intelligent and better looking than the person(s) responsible for the removal of Metalopolis. + Show Spoiler + I have no idea if that really is a male chicken, or anything about farm animals in general. | ||

I want to disable it because I'm quite used to the BW way, and most importantly, since I'm not a very good player, when I move my units and tap on my production facilities to check them, I often end up right-clicking to move when I still have them selected, finding myself with a bunch of rallies in the middle of the map. | ||

I've looked in the options but couldn't find anything and Google didn't want to help either. I'm starting to believe it's not possible.

Well, in BW you right clicked to set rally points in the same way, you just couldn't rally to the mineral patch because they wouldn't automatically mine. So it really isn't all that different. I have had that happen on occasion, just don't jump the gun on right clicking to make your units to move while in actuality you are still selecting the building. | ||

I just had to test because I didn't believe it :D For some reason in BW it *never* happened to me to mis-rally stuff. I guess it's something related to a lack of MBS which makes me paranoid about forgetting to rally some facilities. Oh well, bummer. Thanks anyway :D | ||

Thanks anyway :D Yeah, for me it's partially because SC2 is a bit slower and more laggy than SC1. When playing Zerg at the outset of a match, I very frequently fall a bit behind economically because I hit "S-D" so quickly the game doesn't even register the "S". Super insane APM not always a good thing!
