In the meantime I doubt that several thank buttons would be a useful idea. So from my point of view this topic is more or less closed.

I logged in when <newPlayer> was in slime:6. CAO statistics told me he started playing online about six weeks ago, had about 170 games so far with two runes being his best game. He approached the central corridor in slime:6 when the royal boss showed up. At the edge of the corridor (with open space...

What, 116 damage? I didn't know an orb could do *that* much damage. I looked it up: The orb [of destruction] itself is extremely powerful, dealing 9d23 damage at maximum power and range. Obviously the same with monster orb. Alright, read the Tabtab limerick if you like... this hurts so much I agree,...

There are a couple decisions I feel I have to make. Well, that's not unusual when you play crawl. The character is quite powerful in general, but somewhat fragile. Well, that's not unusual when you play an ogre. Ogres have strong attacks, they can wield giant spiked clubs and throw large rocks. But...

It'd be nice to have a place to openly and seriously discuss game ideas that aren't fleshed out enough for GDD. CYC topics are vulnerable to getting spammed to death with idiotic poetry or stories about a dream someone had one time about elvish cats when they disagree with the OP... Welcome to the ...

Don't worry, this happens from time to time. The games are saved no matter if you can see them. I'm not familiar with the server(s) and I don't know why this happens but up to now having patience was always enough to "solve" the problem. Also, I found your game on ##crawl : !lg NicuTudor w...

high-tier threats with Awaken Forest (Spriggan Druid and Dryad) Yes, this was really nasty. "Neutral" trees - expected to be similar to walls - suddenly turned against you. Maybe DracoOmega's work was too good? And his ideas were too interesting (and dangerous) and thus rejected? I'm quit...

I am so Happy!!!! I got my first Formicid 3 rune victory. Congrats! I found this harder than Mummy. Harder than a mummy? Ouch! That really hurt! I only played one serious mummy game which ended to my relief with two runes or so somewhere in deeper dungeon. Playing mummy was no fun at all. And I sup...

I played some games with enchanted forest and I considered it to be harder than crypt. Interesting branch but it didn't really fit thematically - what about players who switched to TSO and wanted to get full piety in crypt for blessing their endgame weapon? It was removed because a dev (DracoOmega [...

That's really surprising. When you are strong enough to get 15 runes Zot:5 shouldn't be that hard. Imo you can only fail if you are not careful enough or are very unlucky on the orbrun. I agree that berserking on Zot:5 is usually a bad idea.

As you answered to my post here's something about this topic, written one year ago:

I thought the joke was obvious - but afterwards I had to explain it and even changed the title...
Topic is here.

CYC is, well, CYC. Having a spot where we could just discuss Crawl without the expectation to be giving or receiving advice would be a welcome change. As it is, I sometimes think of things to talk about, realize that my only option for them is Crazy Yiuf's Corner, and leave them unsaid It looks lik...

RMsl is such an excellent spell that I never even thought about forgetting it (unless I updated to DMsl).

That really looks like a joke.

I looked for more reasons why we could want another, more serious subforum for everything else . CYC contains a large variety of topics, and I found there are a lot which are serious and could be split from CYC: ⋅ ideas about GDD which don't stick to the strict rules of the GDD forum (whic...

Why was this yiufed? That seems unfair, considering this was a pretty genuine discussion. I posted in CYC because of this rule in the GDD guidelines: Post a complete, finished idea. Brainstorming threads or incomplete proposals should be posted to Crazy Yiuf's Corner for development. I'm guessing t...

That's from a recent FoWn 15-runer of 4thArra with a very dangerous situation. The inability of hasting / blinking / teleporting makes playing formicids a special adventure. The game seemed to be quite easy for most of the time, early demon trident and bardiche helped for sure. Hell's branches were ...

I know about Sapher's speedruns but this is crazy.

I didn't think about RMsl ans DMsl, they are very powerful? RMsl is a very useful spell, especially when you have low HP like a felid. When I can update to DMsl without too many difficulties I do it as well. juggernauts are so strong! (72 damages!) There's no need to fight juggernauts (or other tou...

In the past we had some discussions about creating a new subforum in The Tavern . The main idea is to split Crazy Yiuf's Corner into ⋅ more serious topics - "General Crawl Discussion" (Blade) could be a new name ⋅ less serious and off-topic ideas - this could keep the n...

I don't want to discuss your proposal. But I'd like to add that delayed fireball has the same game mechanics, e.g. you get a buff after casting it (the fireball can be released by an ability) and you keep it after forgetting the spell.

That's from an actual FoWz game of Yermak, he found this weapon quite early.

I agree with Blade and ydeve. There is flame tongue for the beginning and conjure / sticky / fireball afterwards. I think I used throw flame very rarely (if I used it at all).

Same with throw frost as freeze is really strong.

Felids get abyssal 3rd. I don't have much experience with felids but as well as Sprucery I'm surprised about your low stealth (you have +4 aptitude!). So I wonder if you are prepared for the abyss. What about pushing some stealth and then doing abyss? ******* Nevertheless, some thoughts about slime...

I'm really surprised about that much feedback on my original post. The point is: when I read a newbie's CIP with spellcasting being the highest skill my first answer is: "Turn it off." (And the first question I ask myself: "Why again?") But as it looks like, there are several rea...

[EDIT] I started this topic in Game Design Discussion. I know that it doesn't fulfil the GDD principles, I was too lazy to make a detailed GDD proposal. However, the intention of my question/proposal was serious. After a few responses the topic was moved to CYC and thus is no longer protected by GD...

No.

Request for locking was because I got the feeling that people got angry.

At the moment the topic isn't about draconian colours.

Turukano, [the removal of the thank button] is a serious attempt to make the Tavern a better forum. If it doesn't succeed in doing that, we'll bring it back. The way I see it is like this: ⋅ The Thank button is a good feature, same with the Quote button (this refers to another recent topi...

The discussion about the Thank button continues and this makes me ask another thing. Several times I wasn't happy about the way the Quote button was used. This concerns 1) quoting very long text and 2) quoting quoted quotes. ⋅ PosterA writes some text containing 50 lines. PosterB quotes ev...

If you really want this out. What about 2 buttons : - the original Thanks, a kind of like button, that can be used for sarcastic uses or jokes - a +1/-1 one, that shows the advice value of the post... No, that's technically too complicated as njvack pointed out in the recent topic Are different Tha...

My condolences. One of my chars drowned in shoals as well, maybe last year.

On the other hand, as njvack suggests, I suspect the recency of the removal [of thanks] is part of the reason for the complaints The recency is one thing I thought about as well.

This would add 4 or 5 posts. The expansion of a topic by several (probably short) posts is one of the problems which are caused by removing the Thank button.

One of the reasons that the Thank button has been disabled actually (-> Thanking Now Restricted to OPs ) seems to be the fact that there are several intentions for pressing the button. I wouldn't like to discuss any kind of abuse (you can't prevent that anyway) but the question is: are several diffe...

I personally voted for rather bad idea.

I laughed about pubby's 15-runer with a +72 club (topic here) which was caused by a bug. This would have been a Thank for sure!

The Thank button was disabled a few days ago (announced here ), actually you can only hit Thank for the first post in every topic. I ask you not to discuss the question if thanking (only) to the first post is a good idea - the poll is about the general removal of Thanks . So what do you think after ...
