(noun): co-op arena strategy
The genre of gaming invented by Eul and developed by Guinsoo, Neichus, Syllable and eventually Icefrog. Previously known by the useless term MOBA made popular by Riot Games. Veteran professional players who have become analysts of the game are known as 'casters'.
Two teams of 5 players each control 1 (or sometimes more) character called a hero.
Heroes fight to level up by killing minions that spawn from the enemy side of the map along paths called lanes, gaining experience and gold from kills.
Experience allows heroes to learn and improve their special abilities. Gold is used to buy powerful items to either attack, debuff or control enemies or to help and support teammates (and allies).
These individual objectives all come together to achieve one team objective:
DEFEND THE TEAM'S ANCIENT / NEXUS AND DESTROY THAT OF THE ENEMY!
Usually, tiered special structures or entities stand in the way of this major objective and must be eliminated one after another down any particular lane to achieve success.
Popular CAST games include:
Dota 2, developed by Valve
League of Legends, developed by Riot Games
Smite, developed by Hi-Rez Studios
Heroes of Newerth, developed by S2 Games
Heroes of the Storm, developed by Blizzard Entertainment
The CAST game with the highest professional competitive prize pool is Dota 2 with 'The International', at $40 million (USD) at the time of writing. This prize pool is formed from purchases by a devoted community.

Techsmith314: CAST is a co-op game where you level up and strat before you spam your supers.
rAGEBLADE: Just show me what this CAST stuff is.
the Tau hierarchial order along with a designation of a Tau's life. Tau from the fire (shas) caste are the defenders of Tau space. The air (kor) pilot the ships and man the stations. Earth caste build and engineer the weapons the fire caste carry and the ships the earth caste fly. The water caste liases and arbitrates. Without them, the Tau would have no allies. The final, most mysterious of the castes is the ethereal (aun). These lords and (psykers?) rule the Tau and put forth the greater good among the masses.
Aun'Shui is an renowned member of the ethereal caste.

a term used by auditors when adding up tons and tons of numbers to check that they are correctly summed up by a company.
Casting the whole ledger has made my eyes sore and fingers numb; the best part is, it didnt add up to the final amount!
