I made a bug report with the save backup included; hopefully that suffices.

Playing 0.22, read my last tele scroll to end up in this spot:

No digging has shown up in the game yet.

Is my only choice to quit or starve?

There's no separation between tiles and monsters as far as line-of-sight goes. If you can see a tile, you can see any visible monster on it. If you have SInv and you see an empty tile, there's no monster there. Maybe your expectation of "there should be a monster there" is wrong; it didn't...

That player won an unlikely combo by doing something most players consider bad" isn't particularly surprising, considering the above. I think it has more to do with character power. I am sure many experienced players can win many powerful combos with self-imposed conducts, not training Dodging...

Scroll of Greatest Beckoning:

Instantly pulls all monsters in the game to your level, highest-HD monsters closest to you.

Suicide or insta-15 rune? You decide!

I'd value efficient exploration highly -- e.g., explore the nooks that look like dead-ends close to you first before moving off to explore another large segment of the level. This is admittedly more of a turncount/boredom fix than a "help me not die" one.

Thanks very much, that's exactly what I was looking for!

I'm trying to use HilariousDeathArtist's .rc, which I got off some server. I put it in my trunk .rc on CBRO and it worked fine. I then tried to copy it over to my 0.19 .rc on CBRO and it couldn't find some of the include files that are referenced; it no longer works properly. Is there some differenc...

It'll be nigh- impossible to gain levels at a certain point -- just like Nethack!

It seems to be related to CAO's problems; if you look at the scoring overview page, there aren't any wins listed since 10/16. Thankfully, it seems like help is on the way: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5805.

Stasis prevents paralysis, doesn't it? Unless that changed with the mostly-removal of stasis.

Thanks a lot for running it! The release tournaments are one of my favorite parts of Crawl.

Sar wrote:Yeah, but Abyss delays teles a lot and prohibits cblinks.

The "prohibits cblinks" part is no longer true and I think hasn't been for a little while. Which helps a tab but isn't a game-changer, given the nature of the Abyss.

Thanks for the answers. I had thought it would just have whatever plusses you had when summoning it. It was disappointing to find out it wouldn't work after finally finding a book of battle!

I realize this is an incredibly niche and first-world question, but...

Why can't you Spectral Weapon the Sword of Power? I just get "the +27 Sword of Power vibrates crazily for a moment."

Thanks very much for running a tournament with every new release. They're one of my favorite things to do, and they really get the adrenaline flowing. It's nice to have two weeks of tournament time every six months or so.

Regen stacks forever. I think the theoretical maximum is something like 13 sources at once (actually probably 18 or so now that there's the robe of vines), but good luck making that happen. I had a vine stalker once that was getting 3-4 HP a turn.

I'll almost always clear Blade with a character that wants a weapon. Sometimes you get that holy evenstar or speed lajatang and then you know you're set to do extended.

How does the GSC damage in your initial sim go down as skill goes from 25 to 26 and 27? Is there any reasonable explanation for that?

I used to use all of mine for branch ends with runes. Nowadays, I pretty much only use them for portals if there are two portals on a level or if I'm following Chei (this may not be optimal, but portals are fun). I use them mostly (in order of priority) for Hell levels 1-6, not-special Pan levels, a...
