When I find amulet of regen I usually stop picking up non-artifact amulets.

Who decides what's blasphemy and what isn't?

This is pretty similar to just removing haste in the first place.

Except not at all.

We need good ol' 682 in crawl. I mean you can already cosplay as 173.

If this is how you measure which race is "better", naga must probably be one of the best.

I can make you female in my crawl for free.

I never understood people who play console instead of tiles.

Try "\" key.

I've seen the word "unavoidable" abused pretty badly on Tavern, but jesus christ this is a new low.

Because its so easy to avoid every single malmutation by using "tactics"?

This can lead to unavoidable deaths technically.

How did you calculate that?

Because it was a bad game design.

How original.

So what is it?

I agree with duvessa.

If they bring back Djinni.

Why does crawl even have races with different move speed, instead of all just being the same speed? What design goal does it accomplish? (except just arbitrary making some races stronger than others)

Elves and fairies? Jeez, how old are you?

Pls no furry again.

Dirty casuals.

There are pistachios in crawl?!?

There should be unique steam dragon called Gaben.

The primary reason for me personally for clearing Zot:1-4 is that I like clearing levels. A secondary reason is that it makes the orb run a little bit safer (and I get less distractions during my autotravel out of the dungeon). In another thread you said that your games last 12+ hours. Maybe this i...

I've yet to play such game where die because of not clearing z:1-4.
Maybe it's not optimal. But it's much faster and MUCH less stressful for me.

I used to full clear zot as well, but then I tried diving it and realized that it just saves time and turns. You don't need XP and items at that point, and the danger is almost non-existant. I still clear z:5 in most of my games though.

I have no idea what you mean by dive

I assume, by "the rest of zot" you mean z:1-4? Diving means not full clearing, exploring until the first stairs down.

Who cares if you dive it anyway.

How do you die with MiBe?

Casuals.

I'm not skilled but my 3 runes are about 3 hours. Some people can win in 40 minutes.

Who needs a life when you have Crawl?

Wow, that's a long game.

I believe decreasing LoS is generally not a good idea unless you're able to do it on command, via evokable or spell, whereas increasing LoS instantly grants you a wealth of information one couldn't gain otherwise at a reasonable price. Which information exactly? I guess you can see staircases 1 til...

You made an account just to post a joke in CYC?

I'd say Sk is okay background, just HE sucks in general.

Oh my God... exhausting. I have always said that strong players don't always maintain 100% winrates because it is not fun to play the game in such a way that you win 100% of the time, even though as a matter of fact some people do achieve 100% winrates. I honestly don't believe someone could fail u...

Dowan is too low HD.

Well, you ARE punished for ignorance. Ogres can hit hard and random energy exists. Your fault for not taking that into account. I don't see a problem here.

Actually, using autoexplore early in the game increases your odds of dying very significantly. Playing optimally means to play in such a way that your odds of winning are maximized. In crawl, these odds max out at 100% usually within an hour of beginning the game, very often less, after which time ...

This is how I feel about duvessa posts.

Just go Trog - ez game.

This spell would be a huge buff to chei worshippers.

Na is a great race.

I like the archmage ring idea. Rings of fire/ice are basically the same as protection from fire/cold, since minus resist doesn't matter.

Sorry I don't get it. If I use auto explore and autofight on d:1 I will probably not die, yet it is considered optimal to use manual explore in early game. By playing optimally you have to use every advantage that the game gives to you. Therefore it is always optimal to have haste on if you can, bec...

With high stealth and haste abyss shouldn't be a problem.

We have archmage ego for spells.
