Great stuff! I had a really good time after the last tourney's disappointment (just to remind you, my laptop blew up at the start and was out of action for a month), glad everyone else did too.

Yeah, I crashed her. Not sure why I chose a Summoner when I was already a bit Crawl fatigued, managing summons is tiring and I eventually succumbed to 'can't be arsed to play properly any more' syndrome. Still, that makes a total of ten runes gathered for me this tournament, decent by my standards. ...

The character I splatted in Tomb killed Murray.

My current character will likely be my last, it's a MfSu of TSO and it's got the Lair branch runes. Won't go to Tomb this time.

Haha, I am so bad at extended. Perished in Tomb 1, trapped by hordes of royal mummies, unable to drink potions, finding that the resistance provided by rN**** and silence isn't that great after all but it means I can't read scrolls, with TSO heal-on-kills seemingly having completely deserted me. I d...

Very pleased for your win. My character has become a monster and cleared the Vestibule of Hell with little trouble. Some nice randarts. The armour and ring came from the same ridiculously hard to kill high priest in Elf 3. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.30.0-5-g1a98f26 (webtiles) character file....

My first game I actually had the orb and died on the orb run Owww, I have not yet had that happen to me, thank goodness. But if it's really making you sad then don't be shy about taking a break, we're all about having fun and those tasty tasty snacks. And please don't apologise, the cool thing is t...

It's great. I rolled through V5, D4 and Z 1-4 using the hexer ancestor and javelins/large rocks, it was only a whole gang of OOFs on Z5 (and me not retreating in time) that messed things up. But you need to have an escape route for if your ancestor gets killed (it comes back pretty soon, but that's ...

I see that Nemelex has Chosen a VpHW. I played 36 Vp games without doing better than XL11 - couldn't work them out at all - and it became the one species I never play. Dare I have another go? Currently have two combo high scores, OgWn and DrBr. Hopefully I'll keep the first of those. Dying in Zot 5 ...

Think that might be the first time I've died in Zot. Oh well.

Dying in the Abyss always feels like a betrayal. "I voluntarily entered your horrible dimension and this is the thanks I get!" An OgWn wielding Zephyr with a Hep hexer ancestor feels tabbable-strong until the ancestor gets clobbered, at which point it becomes a scramble to stay alive. Corn...

good good, welcome aboard.

Sanka, that is such a nice hat you wore for your win.

Hi zlionsfan, welcome to the team! I've added you as zlionsfan, please say if you play under a different name. All you have to do is add # TEAMCAPTAIN moanerette as the first line of your v0.30 rc file. Thanks, happy to be here! I do play as zlionsfan and have added you as my team captain. You're n...

If you still have a spot available, I'm interested. I'm terrible at endgame - have only spotted the Orb twice and never reached it - but pretty good at bad combos. I usually play on CBR2 Hi zlionsfan, welcome to the team! I've added you as zlionsfan, please say if you play under a different name. A...

It's no problem, I like that we do this. As usual I'll be playing on CAO if anyone wants to say hi. I will surely start with Nemelex' Choice.

We're on the tournament page and everyone is listed as present bar Strat, who I'm sure will be along soon. I have won a previously unheard of three games already this year, so I have fond hopes of adding a fourth! We'll see. I've been playing Crawl Cosplay Challenges (https://cosplay.kelbi.org/) and...

Hey hey! This means the Snacks have all five regular members and there is one space available to anyone who wants in. Not many people look at Tavern nowadays but I won't be advertising anywhere else as we are tavern-based snacks and not to be eaten on Reddit or Discord. The 0.30 tournament page is h...

There is no tournament page as yet, but posts from defs on the DCSS subreddit indicate that the 0.30 tournament definitely starts tomorrow - May 5th - as announced in the April 1 post on this site's front page. Tavern Snacks will be ready to go with me, sanka, Strat and andrew. We are a casual clan ...

Great idea.

That was frustrating for me, but I'm glad you all had fun, and I hope your health is on the mend Strat.

Hopefully I'll get a proper run at the next one.

So my laptop picked a great time to break... And the delivery company picked a great time to mess up delivering the replacement hard drive so badly that no one now knows where it is. I hope I'll be able to play again this tourney but really don't know. I am not going to try playing on my phone, it's...

Great stuff both of you. Think I'll try a Meteoran, why not.

Not tried it but I'd assume so, given Trog is now completely disconnected from ranged.

You're still not showing, I'm not sure what else to try.

They both came along at just the right time, I'd been rolling with quicksilver scales and a spectral lajatang +7 before that and had been doing well, but doubt I'd have won with them.

Aagh, I hadn't put you in yet! Let's give it half an hour. Sorry!

You're not showing up as a member. I guess when you finish that game it might kick in? It's a couple of hours ago you posted, I think your name ought to be showing by now.

Another option would be to edit your rc file on another server and play there.

Started my FeDe before it was chosen for Nemelex' Choice, so don't know if it will count for that category. Mostly through Lair with all lives intact, using summons with a bit of stabby and Uskayaw aid is working so far.

Welcome back! Your seat is waiting.

That means there is one remaining place.

I have peaked too early by winning a DsNe of Sif Muna earlier today (I posted about it in YASD).

Early game was slow and awkward till I diversified into Summoning, and was a combined Necromancer/Summoner for most of the game. This is nowhere near as tedious as it would have been formerly, new Necromancy is really good. Animate Dead and Necrotise are far more fun than the previous versions. Foun...

My first win for 18 months and 5th in total, and maintaining my ludicrous sort-of conduct of being a different race/class/god from the others.

That's right. The clan isn't showing up in the tourney pages yet, guess it will tomorrow.

Tavern is very sleepy nowadays so I don't massively anticipate anyone else wanting in. I've not heard from sanka but their place will stay reserved in case they fancy it.

This is the thread for the adventures of TavernSnacksOfOpportunity, the casual tournament clan for 0.29. Members so far are me, floatboth, andrew and Strat, plus one currently reserved space which may become free. So there is one place available. The clan is for people who would like to be part of a...

Me! Assuming that's fine with everyone else.

I'll message Strat and sanka to see if they're up for it. Are there any other regular Snacks I've forgotten?

I'll enter the Snacks once the tourney page is live.

Armour of Early Dungeon Safety & Convenience:-

the +9 chain mail of Natuciag (worn) {rPois Str+3 SInv}
(You found it on level 3 of the Dungeon)

I've been playing and enjoying Crawl more than I have for a while, so this is an early warning post for a Snacktastic 0.29 tourney!

This is the kind of thing you like to see when you read acquirement on Lair 2.

ring of Tender Moments {AC+4 Slay+4}

I think that's me done for this tourney. Many thanks and congratulations to my fellow snacks for their scores and encouragement.

Good to see floatboth. Can anyone explain the deal with new Yred piety? My HuWn keeps fluctuating back to zero stars, which is a problem cos I was relying on those undead to see it through the early game. edit - ha, just reading it now. "Piety now solely based on the number and strength of alli...

Didn't steal my thunder at all, I was happy to see it. I'm in the clan now, with a FeDe of Qazlal (curse my attraction to faded altars) I don't expect to last too much longer.

Ha, thanks everyone. You know what, I meant to post for this then just completely forgot. Could you add me to the team please? Let's see what's new.

I was not aware that unique hunting is your thing

Ha, it isn't particularly, it's just that last time I noticed we got 79. And this time 78. I think that's very good, only a couple of players manage 81.

Thanks to everyone for playing, I'm glad we all had fun and propelled the clan to a respectable 29th out of 121. Maybe we'll get all the uniques next time!

Moanerette wrote: I am great at dying in the late game and won't take anything for granted.

So, that worked out well :roll:

Great to see everyone enjoying the tourney, I'll get back on the horse at some point.

Congrats, floatboth. I'm always a little tentative about playing with Qaz -- especially impressed by your pairing him with DS (which can go so many different ways that don't always play nicely with loudness). Trying for 15 myself, which I do once every tourney and hate with a passion -- too long an...

We're two thirds of the way to harvesting all the uniques. Last time I think we missed one. This isn't a target - WE DON'T DO TARGETS! - but it's nice to see. It always amuses me to see how slow my play is compared to others. I do spend a fair bit of time with the game open but doing other things. P...

Go sanka! People are tearing through the Nemelex Choice combos, when I went to bed last night (UK time) no-one had won one. My PaCj is XL9 and I'm still using Magic Dart/Searing Ray for everything. Veh is currently offering me Ignite Poison, and I found Mephitic Cloud in a book, so that pair is a bi...

Well, something has worked cos you're present and correct now.

One place left.

I'll try deleting then redoing my rc file changes. Not til later though as I have to go out.

If any tourney/tech-knowledgeable people have an idea of the issue, please post!

Did you put the space between # and Moanerette?

Sorry if that's an "of course I did" question but I actually can't think of anything else. I've triple-checked my rc files and they're fine. Strat and andrew are both in so it's working for them.

I have added the line to my 0.27 RC file on Xtahua, but I am still not listed as member of the team on the team page. Am I missing something, or am I missing from your list of players? I put your name in my rc file and I don't understand why you're not showing up. You do play as 'sanka', don't you?...
