Ok, teleport to the nearest pub and order a half. That should take less MP.

Yeah, it makes your ankles look fat. And it looks like someone stuck a flesh-colored dagger through your head. With that monster collar, can you even turn your head more than 10 degrees either way without hurting your daggers ears? Speaking of your head, do you have a big lump under your hair in the...

Bug report: PP level is 2/17, but PP bar is full.

Is there something like a Mantis page we should use for reporting bugs in this branch?

I think it was Menkaure's dream journal, since it was on his phone.

But who knows, maybe Grinder and Menkaure have been shacking up lately, so Grinder has been recording his dreams on Menkaure's phone every morning? This being Duvessa's game, I wouldn't be all that surprised.

Must be a bug. Try doing 'tt' to shout and try to get the attention of one of the developers.

A big problem with going with Sif with a char like this is that you only get piety for training magic skills, and if you don't have a book yet, you can't train magic skills very much. I guess you could train spellcasting, but you get no real benefit from it, so that would be pretty much throwing ski...

Here are a a couple of charts made from a database of chess tournament games dating back to 1850. The first shows that white has been winning between 55-60% of games for the entire time span covered. There's a slight downward trend since 1980 or so, but that's coming down from the peak, and it's sti...

g) add grinder to defeated list.

How would the good gods feel about a follower wearing this?

How about taking a mouthful of Thunderdog wine, and *then* using fire breath on Grinder? Ought to give it a little extra kick.

Carthago delenda est

This also reduces the potential number of Beogh cannon fodder followers.

You hear a shout! (11x)

Yeah, Fulminant Prism is kinda loud.

dpeg: Yeah, that would be nice.

Ok, let's all come together in a ring around MainiacJoe, join hands and say, "We're so angry at you, too!"

Will there be a corresponding increase in either the rate of ?IDs being dropped, or the rate of randarts being dropped? This gives us the choice of either using a ?ID or possibly wasting the randart if we're not ready to permanently switch to it. So it effectively either makes us expend more ?ID or ...

I definitely prefer it without the shadows. They made the "stone soup" hard to read because they were darker than the letters.

No matter what it looks like, there will always be someone who doesn't like it. If you were to roll back to the old one, you'd probably get complaints about that, too.

I don't see why insects should be immune to arrows. In real life, bees and wasps manage to punch their stingers into other insects all the time. Entomologists stick pins through insects all the time to display them. That's about the same scale as sticking an arrow or a rapier through a killer bee. A...

I just checked my character's inventory, and he doesn't have a spoon. So your argument must be incorrect.

So, got any good poop recipes to share with us?

Pacifier?

I start out only using IDs on potions, until I have both !cure and !heal IDed, starting with whatever potion I have the most of since those two are among the most common potions. Once I have those two IDed, I'll consider using scrolls of ID on potions, wands (depending on the wand) or on decks. Good...

Bone and marrow?

I know when I play an orc worshipping Beogh, my followers never seem to get hungry. I always assumed I was just feeding them on 5 loaves and 2 fishes.

1. If you paralyze a rolling boulder beetle, you get "The boulder beetle suddenly stops moving!"... but it keeps rolling. The message should be fixed. Actually, if the boulder beetle is rolled up into a ball when you paralyze it, it should remain rolled up into a ball and keep on rolling,...

Thank you sir, may I have another?

Run away!

When I've finished a level, I just take the nearest stairs down, then as I explore the new level and find an unused upstairs, I quickly pop up and back down. So I end up using every stairway, but it's not tedious at all.

I occasionally have lucid dreams. I usually realize it's a dream when I start flying and say to myself "Hey, I'm flying! This must be a dream, Cool!" Then I can pretty much take control. But it only works if I start out with a non-lucid dream where I start flying. Haven't had one of those ...

But less voweluable.

But I'd expect FP to have some advantage over the direct-fire type weapons, since it requires guessing where the opponent will be (not generally too hard), and a 20 aut delay, instead of firing where the enemy is right now , and doing damage right now . Damage right now is worth more than possible d...

If you're hot enough that weapons act like a flaming brand, then you're hot enough to burn wooden stuff. Pole arms, clubs, bows and crossbows, greatslings. Most shields. Maybe also leather stuff, like leather armour, whips, hunting slings, boots. Cloth too, no robes or hats. Hmmm, according to Ray B...

Yeah, a quick series of tests show orcs walking right past my prisms. I didn't set any up completely blocking a path, but they will step around prisms instead of attacking them. Oh my. My DrCj just found a book shop on D:4 with a book of Power, book of Unlife, Akashic Record, and a Necronomicon. Nic...

I'm pretty sure I've seen monsters attack prisms when they could have avoided them, but I'm not sure how recently I've seen it. Sounds like it's time to play a conjurer or two to test it out...

One thing that's needed is a very clear description so the player knows what he's dealing with, without having to come to the forum and read a post from lasty to find out how often *Corrode will hit him. I've simply avoided those items because "It may corrode your equipment when you take damage...

One other downside is that it's fairly loud. You need to be prepared for more and more opponents wandering in. With enough mana reserve, it's not bad, but early on it's easy to run out and find yourself in more of a target rich environment than you really want. I know I need to use it more than I do...

But fun in a twisted kind of way.

Isn't that pretty much a summary of Xom?

Have you never listened to King Diamond?

Or maybe Geddy Lee?

It sounds like you did what I often end up doing with MiBes: Everything goes fine, I have no problems, I just start hitting tab-tab-tab-o-tab-tab-tab-o-tab-tab-Oh shit. And I suddenly find myself in over my head in a situation I should have either avoided, prepared more for, or simply run away from ...

I don't know if people have noticed that there were several modifications to Gell's Gravitas in trunk about a week ago. * Remember the centre of Gravitas when its target dies. https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commit/e0d96ed766e9c23f35fe1c70b77a705712f12eba * Flatten Gell's power curve. https://github....

Well, I've never won a 15 rune game. Never won at all, for that matter, so take my advice with that in mind. On the other hand, one of the main reasons I keep not winning is because I don't run away soon enough. So the way I look ta it is: if I get to the point where I stop and ask myself "Shou...

And #8 is just plain wrong. There is a very good reason for a curved sword. Try this some time: Take a razor blade and just press it against the skin of your arm. It takes a lot of force to get it to cut in very far, doesn't it? Now try again, but move the blade sideways. Slices right in, right? Whe...

Depends on how it's shaped. 15kg is enough in a sphere with a neutron reflector. 52kg in a bare sphere is critical for U-235, but in the shape of a sword, it would certainly be subcritical.

Maybe the ogre is confused, or pining for the fjords.

It's a nerf for characters with reduced LOS, like nightstalker muts.

Well, I thought the suggestion was to get rid of them completely. Making them virtually non-existent, is heading that direction. But you're probably right about them almost exclusively in Zot because of the death cobs. Can someone with better sequell-foo (and a handy IRC client) run an appropriate s...

Here's an idea: Make hungry ghosts occur less often, but be more special when they do. When a player character dies of starvation, it comes back as a hungry ghost instead of a regular player ghost. So you'd encounter a "hungry player ghost of BugHunter (Troll Conjurer)". It would be much l...

So, I'm playing a MiBe with maces * flails of 17.5 and nothing in any other weapon. I've found clubs, whips. maces, flails, morningstars, dire flails, and great maces. So asking for a weapon from a !acq ought to give me a demon whip or an eveningstar, right? Either of which would be quite welcome to...
