As some of you may have already heard, a new public server is available: crawl.berotato.org (or CBRO).

I actually didn’t plan on creating an official server; I just wanted to start learning some crawl dev with a few friends and needed a webtiles server.  In the past when I messed around with this stuff, I simply used the webserver setup that comes with the source.  This time however, I found some documentation on the dev wiki and decided to go all-out.

It took a while, but with help from a bunch of folks in ##crawl-dev (primarily |amethyst/neil (CSZO) and TZer0 (CLAN)), CBRO finally went online.

Oh, and people keep asking, “What’s a Rotato?”.   It comes from the (smallish) gaming community, MeFightClub. I learned about Crawl from there and we’ve had about 30 players the past two tournaments, so it’s been a fairly big influence on my crawl experience so far.

Being Rotato can be summed up in the following quote:

“Be Excellent to each other. If you can’t be excellent, Be Civil. If you can’t be civil, Be Offline”

Enjoy!
