Chei is the popular winning god for Fo... what could possibly go wrong? If you decide to die, just make sure you do it before XL 5.

Actually the answer is "no". The bonuses are independent of each other, but on most weeks they will be closely related.

While I agree jorgrun is a nightmare, isn't the real spoiler that flying reduces shatter damage? IMO that should be removed.

Yep same error as earlier. Unfortunately I can't fix it til I get home.

Edit: Okay, scores should be correct now. Lasty is out for a couple days, so until we can get the issues worked out, I'll just be manually updating the sheet. That means updates about once per day. Sorry for the inconvenience...

Sorry man, duvessa has it right as far as the numbers go. PM me if you're curious and I can explain further, it's really waaaay beside the point of this thread. Really the whole concept of quantifying how much harder one area of the game is than another is foolish in the first place because we don't...

To clarify, I mean that you can use him, just know that he is likely to undergo significant changes and so if you don't want your game to be potentially affected by a nem nerf, don't worship him or don't upgrade your game once it's started.

More.

It was the first non-dagger I found.

The 3/1 flail I had just picked up was tempting but I didn't think I'd live long enough if I'd switched just then, and the gnoll I died fighting had a runed spear.

Turns out that sometimes when you (accidentally) try to cast Regeneration with a high failure rate, the game will sarcastically grant your wish. But instead of regenerating your hp, it makes your character regenerate on the "Select a species" page... It's definitely a top 3 way to end a 4-...

To be fair, "Pyromancer" is already used as a title in Crawl. So it's not really out of place. [22:53:23] WalkerBoh !lg * title=pyromancer [22:53:25] Sequell 311. MrPlanck the Pyromancer (L27 KoFE of Vehumet), escaped with the Orb and 4 runes on 2014-05-29 20:48:54, with 1906068 points aft...

Still usable, but I'd use him at your own risk.

Yeah there's a ring or two laying around on the floor somewhere, and I could pretty easily have gotten both spells up in time if I'd wanted. But regardless, killing TRJ was an easier solution.

What was your strategy for killing TRJ? I find I can have difficulty killing it on even on characters that are ready to ascend. Hero/finesse/haste/agility/rmsl. I always make sure to fight it in a corridor in the center, never in the open, and I was ready to tele away once it was dead depending on ...

There are no roller coasters that start you at the top, drop in a straight line, and then end.

You're right, that's called skydiving.

My game is going pretty well so far . Game #4 of a streak for me, so I've been more careful than I would normally be, even for a CSDC game. Got D2 Oka so I went ahead and did that, and made it through the first 2 runes pretty easily. I made the decision to go for the Tier II bonus, even though I di...

We're getting an error where the script is not capturing all of Sequell's output for the scoring. This is leaving out blocks of players for some things, which is causing rather vicious errors to occur in the sheet - like Sandman showing as 0 pts, as well as what you showed above. We're working on fi...

And if it's deemed that there are too many consumables available now, you can just make less of them appear on the floor. Voila.

Guys it's a trap. They do this every version: make an improvement that is SO good you can't imagine going back to the previous stable version (see: nausea, summoning change, etc.). Then once they have you hooked, they remove something you cherish and stomp it into the dust! Oh wait, they already rem...

I fucked up. I was ctrl-f ing for armour that I might have missed and went to item O, which was shiny plate mail. I accidentally did it wrong and entered Orc. I immediately left and am sitting in D awaiting a decision. I have already entered slime 1, have already cleared all of D, with the full int...

This thead is proof that you literally cannot remove anything in Crawl without someone complaining about it. For what it's worth, whenever I hit "burdened", it always meant I had to drop food or rocks. I have never raised Str for increased carrying capacity. The 52-item limit is a much mor...

Is it really already that time of the month again?

I thought about banning Jiyva but I think the decisions are more interesting with Jiyva unbanned. Do you go godless and dive to Slime entry in hopes of that early Jiyva altar? Do you take a god early in case it's not there and abandon if it is? Do you clear D and other lair branches then dive to Sli...

Updated the first post with links to each of the first 6 winning games - quite impressive for the first 3 days!
Also a shoutout to HungrySpirit, who unfortunately needed 3 tries to get his win and is going home empty-handed for the week.

That is really weird. It looks like the script being used to copy/paste the logs in isn't copying any colons. Hopefully Lasty knows why that might be...

I'm worried my game isn't counting. I realized I had an existing character in trunk on CSZO, so I started on CBRO and splatted the first VSSk to a gnoll pack (they had nets) at XL3 and am now logged on as my redo, but in IRC I got this: [13:21] <guppyfry> !csdc wk1 @div2 [13:21] <Sequell> No games ...

Nope, entering the Abyss doesn't count as entering a branch, you're good.

Fixed, thanks for telling me. If you see anything else, hit me up.

You are quite capable, it is a mistake in the scoring sheet. I'll fix it later tonight when I have computer access.

Race makes a much bigger difference in weapon choice than background. I can't honestly answer any of your questions.

And let the games begin! Our lead-off combo for Week 1 is... VSSk! Please see the Week 1 topic for chatter related to the first challenge. Good luck to all! Tier II caveat: without joining Jiyva? Please see the Week 1 topic for chatter related to the first challenge. ;) (Jiyva is allowed).

Since apparently I vastly underestimated how ambiguous the previous wording was, I changed it to be clearer. It now reads: "Collect the slimy rune without entering Orc, Vaults, or Depths." So you can go anywhere you want in Lair, the Lair branches, or Dungeon. Just don't go into Orc, Vault...

One thing I'd really like to see this year is links to the actual morgue files for each game in the sheet. I found it very difficult and tedious to try and find the games myself. Okay, the functionality for this has been added to the scoring sheet. I added a column called "Game Log" on th...

To be fair, it is smart to enter Slime right away if you can. Then you are at least guaranteed the points for the Tier I bonus, in case you happen to die before getting to the slimy rune.

Quick clarification on the Tier II Bonus: "Non-Lair branch" means any branch that is not in Lair - it does not mean only Lair itself. So you can enter Lair, (Snake or Swamp or Shoals or Spider), and Slime before getting the slimy rune. Edit: Haha I was typing this out as you asked that, Sa...

Just a couple quick reminders before you play your CSDC game: 1) You must play online in TRUNK. You can practice the combo as much as you want offline or with another username, but only games played online in Trunk will count. 2) You may not worship Qazlal or Gozag during any competition games. If y...

Good idea, thanks for bringing this up. I will work with Lasty to try to include this. I know we can set it up, but it may hit Sequell or google docs a little too hard to really be feasible. But it can't hurt to try.

Here is the standings sheet: CSDC Season 2 Results and Standings . Divisions are up-to-date through quack's signup. There are now 4 divisions of ~15 players each. I will add another page with player statistics to the standings sheet in the next couple of days, and I can also add a page ranking all p...

Just so everyone knows, you don't need to tell me which server you're playing on, it doesn't matter. I'm tracking everyone's games across every server, so as long as you play online in Trunk, I'll be able to find your games. How do I check my played games? Here is your profile page: doubtofbuddha . ...

Of course, anyone is welcome to join. No playing for him though!

That much slaying and a faith ammy that early is ludicrous. You might actually have a chance!

Well unfortunately the least interesting parts of the game (Depths) are also the hardest to dive, while the parts that are easy to dive are the best parts of the game by a country mile (this is not a coincidence). Trying to dive makes much of the game much worse. Not sure I agree. I think it's easi...

Nice.

While I agree with most of the above points, I think you all are exaggerating a bit when it comes to difficulty in the post-Lair to pre-Zot phase of the game. There are many tactically challenging situations that arise in lair branches, especially ends, and the Vaults-specific enemies make that whol...

And actually it looks like we're going to have too many people for three divisions anyways. So I'll have to split it into 4 divisions tonight instead. Figures.
