I would only wear this hat if, in exchange for illiteracy, you were able to fold your scrolls into tiny paper birds and bring them to life, not sure what you would do after that though.

Wait... are KSK and sdynet bots? Am I having a stroke? Do their last two posts look like something cerekov would say to anyone else? I know for a fact that sdynet is Korean based on his post history, and the accent that KSK types in is very very similar, so I'd wager to say he's Korean too. If you ...

guys more crawl comics pls

Make most decks plain with a power level between plain and ornate. These decks would be usable for questionable effectiveness for the passing 0 Evocations player, but would scale in power with evocations, until they're on par with current ornate (or legendary at max evocations?). In addition to plai...

The only place meaningful discussions ever occur in the tavern is on CYC

potion of lig > player ghosts

well, sometimes

The room with bugs, snakes, mushrooms and webs that has a guaranteed "good weapon" in it and often spawns in early dungeon. Great source of executioner axes, eveningstars, I've gotten the singing sword from it once too. Edit: Just got it, woop woop. Had a plain eveningstar. http://i.imgur....

Would not be averse to a move to that forum.

Sar wrote:So it's much worse than a scroll of blinking that you can find in early Dungeon?

I would take a zig fig over a blink scroll if I was playing a Formicid!

Ziggurat Figurine takes 1 turn to create a portal, 1 more turn to enter it, and takes all adjacent monsters with you (I think) and then pits you against floor 1 of a Ziggurat which is most likely less fatal than whatever you were running from - after which the player is able to heal to full and pre-...

Dowan and Duvessa appear to be named after two influential devs here (but where did they get their names from!?). sometimes a thought is several delicious layers of incorrect the more I read this the more I enjoy it If you talk and act like you own the place and nobody says otherwise, it's easy to ...

Seems like this would turn every character into essentially the same thing.

I always thought Harold and Maud were references to Harold and Maude http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067185/

Instead of constantly prompting me with "are you SUUUURE you want to SIN?!" every time I instinctively butcher an orc corpse while worshipping Beogh, just forbid the butchering of orc corpses. If you're starving and the only food available is orcs, you deserve to be excommunicated.

Every day I see complaints about levels being too large, branches and crawl in general being too long, and issues with food, stair dancing, LoS, and every possible thing imaginable. So, I have devised a god that will do away with all these issues and make crawl great again. The god is in essence a b...

Huh. It pays to read, doesn't it.

as boring as just fire+flame. :flame: :flame: :flame: That was just an example, but a couple fun unrands could use a similar concept. I just love playing with spellbinder oh so much and think there should be more unrands with a wide variety of effects. Also are you implying that a dual branded doub...

This thought occurred to me when I was using a chaos weapon and praying for the right brands on hit - why aren't there any Unrand items that carry multiple brands? Like a double sword of freezing and flame, that would be neat. Give it a chance to do either fire or ice damage on proc. Or more ridicul...

daggaz wrote:Why in the world do you list menkharewhatever as "dangerous and likely to kill other uniques"???

Torment, which makes other uniques throwing spells haphazardly more dangerous. I don't think Menkaure cares about what torment hits.

You would want to gather them on M:6 because TRJ can't leave that floor...but weak uniques could die to acid walls... Question: If you send TRJ to the abyss, can it follow you back into the dungeon? That... is a good question. Kiting all your uniques into slime is totally out of the question unless...

Brilliant

I've had this idea for a while and decided it would be more fun if it was a community challenge rather than something I attempted by myself. I don't think it's been done before, correct me if it has. The challenge is this: Gather as many Unique enemies as possible on a floor of the dungeon (or templ...

The 27 quadrillion or whatever turn count limit is sort of an easter egg. You'd never see it realistically, but it's there.

It's not really an easter egg but the fact that harpies will dip down into water and douse sticky flame was a shocker to me.

duvessa wrote:the thing about DD is that it actually has more healing than any other race in the game

Without "thanks" your responses are like that of a raving lunatic, though aptly, finally.

If anything, a potion of chaos sounds fun. As if some adventurer before you spent his last moments fervently mixing the residue of all his remaining potions and created a concoction that only xom knows the effects of. You feel more experienced! Your stomach evaporates. You die...

I have been meaning to post this exact idea, not necessarily the aptitudes and details, but the concept of removing nightstalker as a demonspawn mutation and moving it to it's own species.

Hnnnnnguhhhh. As if I'd ever take this off.

The things about Fedhas that I find kind of annoying: ⋅ The list of things that prayer does is kind of nuts, and Fedhas is now the only god that does corpse sacrifice. I'd make the two extra effects (skeletonizing zombies or killing ghouls) just happen some piety-dependent percentage of t...

"The Crusade" card in decks creates an aura of abjuration. Only the spell. Abjuration is only useful in the first place if you're a summoner yourself, so I'm not sure why you would want it on a non-caster. ...to dispell enemy summons? There are plenty of enemies whose summons most players ...

Fedhas is an old god with an awkward, incongruous, and boring ability set. The only person who enjoys playing fedhas is crate.

I was thinking of ways to change torment so that it isn't one of the most significant determining factors of a characters success in extended. Torment has always peeved me in that any character that wants to do extended, for the most part, either has to have very specific tools to deal with torment,...

Er.. Give him a surname or something?

Did you just copy his post?

Wait. Is this god what has been responsible for the fuckery amok in CYC lately????

You know what, you're right. The list has been adjusted accordingly, with yellow moving up to 6th.

The most important determining factor in this tier list is actually how the colors look in dragon form. Here is a corrected list: 1. Grey http://i.imgur.com/OK8ehXK.png 2.

Alright, where can I play this mystical 4.1.2 alpha? Sounds to me like it needs an experimental fork on berotato.

Thanks! Killing arbitrary numbers of things is all I live for.

I've seen this sentiment numerous times in various places on the forum - is this a running gag?
