I think the obvious question is what happens if you run into one of these devout critters and you have the same god. The Beogh heretics fighting for to prove who's worthy logic won't apply to all the gods- in fact, it goes pretty solidly against the flavor of some. Do they become allied (pff, course...

Not to mention mention that there's no tutorial or instructions, and your character continually ages towards permadeath as you desperately try to figure out how to play, and what to do. I mean, jeez, it's a wide open sandbox with permadeath, massive featureitus, and an unpredictable time limit.

In Soviet Russia, thread derails you.

Yeah, that one's more pawsible.

If you bother to take reaching into account, the bardiche is hardly the weakest 2hander.

Meh. I don't buy it. There aren't enough repeated and/or adjacent letters for that to be from strait cat-walking. Possibly edited and cleaned up cat-walking, but not the pure uncut stuff.

Pretty sure monsters only quaff a limited selection of useful potions.

If you want to make a field of booby traps, you could set one up with book burning. Or fulsome, !poison, and ignite poison. Wouldn't serve much purpose, but you could make it funny once or twice.

It always looked more like a swirling skull face than a fetus to me. And even in your source there, the creator said he was trying to capture a traumatizing childhood memory (witnessing a fictional movie rape) not an abortion in particular. And an organic level with creepy sphincter value doors is h...

Dude. Cerebov got tall. He's been eating his wheaties since I last went to pay him a visit.

...we totally need spoiler tags or something to make posts where people wanna dump a bunch of images readable.

Heh. That seems fairly apt, at least from what I've experienced.

It would probably be easier to point out the ones not afflicted than those that are.

Poisonous weapons producing poisoned chunks is on the List of things that Won't be Done.

It's some kind of content aggregator with ponies? Well, I can honestly saw that wasn't what I was expecting. Not sure why Crawl needs one of, um, whatever this is?

I was almost morbidly curious enough to poke around a little, but it's unlisted on bugmenot, and I'm far to lazy to register.

Could he have looted the extra large rocks from other dead stone giants?

It's usually not a good idea to make your escape contingent on expecting the enemy to run out of ammo, though. :p

I've always wondered why pretty much all roguelikes implement hunger, but almost none implement thirst. After all you can survive much longer without food than you can without water... Probably because it's real easy to tie food to monsters via corpses. So the food clock becomes a natural driver to...

Acquirement could just take the requests of known troves into account.

Look, the obvious solution to this mess is to introduce sword-chucks. I don't even know why we're having this discussion. @danr: I'm still mildly surprised that anyone ever bothered with anything that wasn't an artifact longsword, silver sabre, or magicbane (or quest/job artifacts, I suppose). So mu...

blah blah blah blah, quite old ...1999 is quite old? Pff. I play games older than that all the time. Heck, if we go back to Linley's, Crawl first came out in '97. :V I don't know what I did to trigger my own awesome background music in your head I think it means he thinks of you as (nothing more th...

Well, the main reason we probably don't do that is there are cases where the inscription would be irrelevant, or worse, unwanted. I know I'm actually annoyed by some of the auto-inscriptions that come default now with a few of the backgrounds. You could probably set up the auto-inscriptions yourself...

So... if double swords go the way of the dodo, does this mean katanas un-lose their redundancy battle with them? :p

What possible use could that have?

I'm calling this one. Cause of death: rule 8, a lack of feet, and an all around poor attitude on both sides.

Locked.

Jet-black ants make me think of the relatively harmless sugar ants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_ant I wasn't truly afraid of those things until I learned they burned down houses by moving into and subsequently eating the insides of electric meter boxes.

Felids, obviously. As the one species without digits, they have the hardest time with a keyboard interface.

Runners up: Trolls and ghouls have a somewhat difficult time typing with claws. And Ogres fat-finger a lot.

I'm curious if there's a way to quietly stab/ice your way through Vault 8... I'm starting some mummies and I'm wondering how I'll survive that level. You can be a hasted, invisible, darkness-ed, completely stealth built spriggan and you still won't get in more than a few stabs before something in t...

Grimm hates me! ...if he's in the Soviet union. While this doesn't disprove him hating me outside of it, there's still room for hope.

I think I hate myself a little now. :|

I suggested a speech edit beacuse I thought it might be an easy thing to mess with without a fresh compile (speech is stored in an external text file, innit it?). Alternatively, I think there might be a way to add conditional extra message spam via init.txt. I haven't bothered to experiment yet, bea...

Early on pain is way more valuable than the necronomicon. You can brand your weapon as soon as you get to ******, but you can't make full use of the book until you have the int, necro and spell slots. And even if you have all that, it takes a good while for the stuff in the book to really be relevan...

Thanks to this topic I've decided that we must now figure out a character that'd be the closest fit to the Kool-Aid Man. Bad stealth and able to cast Shatter are both mandatory. Maybe some sort of Ogre? Ogre, yes. Because he needs to be a big glass cannon. Should fight unarmed or with transmutation...

Why is the LOS limit not a square? I demand that a diagonal move take sqrt(2) turns :mrgreen: ...can, can I just lock this? >_> I don't want to hear this debate again.

Player ghosts don't get ammo. So ghosts with launchers equipped are pretty pathetic (assuming they don't have other options, like a breath weapon or spells).

Out of concern for our fellow fey and vertically challenged colleagues, the spriggan anti defamation league dispatched a scout to investigate the fate of local representatives Bob T. Hobgoblin and Gilbert T. Goblin. We regret to report their apparent passing. Apparently the reason W.o.W. is able to ...

I was more wondering how a thread that had been gathering dust so long attracted attention than voicing opposition to or recrimination for necromancy. Your explanation is logical and sensible, and my curiosity is assuaged. In fact, if you dig the walls from around a door, the door should just collap...

Truly, this thread is the I Ching of Crawl. I consulted the I Ching with a pertinent question and received a useful response - from which I take it that I should consult the wiki and Henzell if I want to succeed. Very apt. My goodness, that is shockingly apt. The first part acts as both an allegory...

None of these will stop any client who invokes the mighty Wizard power, sadly. Perhaps this problem could be solved by disabling the Wizard Power? Simply replace all &'s in our employee manual with the picture of the key F13. As this key does not exist, the problem will be solved Security throu...

Additionally, you may not need to attempt deforestation to get in. The elephant statue map has at least one dead end, and I think there's a secret door on route to the loot chamber (I'd pull up the vault and check for you, but I'm away from my local copy atm).

Yes, I think the article I read was cheating a bit about kilts and skirts after reading more about kilt weight on Wikipedia. Heavy kilts weigh up to 620 grams, probably they were comparing that with some light skirts (either the fabric was light or they are about as mature as I am when it comes to ...

Faith is useful if you have a god. For instance, on gifting gods, you faith gets you more gifts, sooner. For gods with useful abilities, you can use them much more frequently, since you recover piety costs quickly. The eventual removal and piety hit is annoying, but not that bad (certainly not three...

I wonder how hard it is to define a background? If you start by editing one of the existing ones (or uncommenting one of the obsolete ones?)
