Have you considered that maybe you are a bad judgement and that Asterion rules a kingdom so he's probably pretty wise even with mino int that makes it a bit hard to do all that fireball math under pressure so we shouldn't judge him for that ok?!!...!!

From the days when item destruction meant you should read an acquire scroll immediately in most cases (especially in the Abyss, where there were 1 million smoke demons): abyss[9/9]: This is a scroll of acquirement! What kind of item would you like to acquire? Something appears at your feet! You are ...

That's the (in)famous vault by Mu: "grated community"! I hope you perused the fine craftsmanship on display in The Legendary Smithy or perhaps purchased a refreshing tonic from the shop of Miraculous Elixers. Also try some delicious jerky from Jack's; the meat is of the highest quality.

So what do you have against sexless autists anyway, Arrhy? Have you seen gammafunk's commits? As fun as the dunk gammafunk thread derailment is, it's probably something better kept out of tavern posts and saved for when you're spectating one of my games (in which case it's welcome). I'm sure you an...

Oh, I'm being silly. If there's an unvarying X% chance of an item being generated on a given level, the count should follow a poisson distribution. The count isn't poisson, one obvious reason why being that a poisson has infinite support, which doesn't make sense in a game with a finite number of i...

Actually: the mean number of an item in a game isn't the most useful stat. Quantiles (say, min, 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, max) would be better. Mean & SD are only informative if the data are likely to be normally distributed; these are probably not. In essence, I'm more likely to want...

There have been a few important bugfixes to objstat to prevent it from incorrectly counting certain monsters and items, from contents of levels that ultimately were rejected by the level builder. I've also added min, max, and standard deviation columns for the basic number fields. So I've updated an...

How in heck's name did this suddenly become a dunk me thread?!!...!!

I've widened the first column and frozen it in all the sheets so at least that is easily readable. Aside from that, there's not much I can do without making it writable, which would be a bad idea. You can download the spreadsheet in a bunch of standard formats from File->Download As, so I recommend ...

I've fixed a bunch of bugs in objstat and rerun the stats. The google spreadsheet link has been updated in my original post, so see the new URL to get the most accurate data we have right now. This version now includes the stats for Abyss,Pan,Shoals,Spider as separate sheets but those are still not ...

Guys it's gammafunk here to whisk you all away to a Wonderland of Numbers. I made a mode for crawl to generate monster and item statistics. We didn't have a good way to summarize most of these statistics previously; hangedman's monster probability spreadsheet was very helpful, but couldn't account f...

I care more about their similarity as allies gifted by the same god than I do their similarity in general, yes. The umbra and vampiric/draining attack differentiate servitors from fast bone dragons as hostile monsters to a sufficient degree, although some kind of ranged attack for bone dragons could...

I honestly think this is a great idea. It's a bit lighthearted without being too ridiculous and could be a genuinely dangerous unique if we wanted it to be. I actually like Tasonirs idea of having the bonerider as a guaranteed end of vault (or maybe crypt?) unique, especially if he was put somewher...

A 25% chance of being banished to Xom's Wonderland upon unwield.

Meanwhile, as gammafunk is toiling away in his local git branch, Sif whispers "I sense a disturbance in the ambient fields." Concerned, our hero checks the Great Tree, and lo:

Code:: From gitorious.org:crawl/crawl * [new branch] bonerider -> origin/bonerider

It was explained to me that only the number of unique runes was ever counted for score, so it a...

I just feel their questions should be answered with something other than 'you fucking idiot' between the lines, even if the advice is correct. Most of the advice here are true.

You should turn off all other skills and train shields for a while and hope you find a shield of reflection. As I am a gorgeous High Elf with fabulous flowing blonde hair, your recommendation is warranted; I could use it as a vanity mirror. I actually found a manual of shields in slime, so I traine...

It's true, I should be walking around with rF or rPoison over a second level of rN to be sure, and I should wear my buckler I guess. I do want that snowy rune quite badly and Antaeus will not know what hit him when I get there. I refuse to curare him though because he should be rPois. I suggested th...

Number of thanks >= number of posts is some straight-up thanks min-maxing bullshit.

But since we took this too seriously let me seriously this I wasn't grading gammafunk as B+ I was mimicking archaeo. And honestly if the code caused a memory leak it meant that gammafunk failed. In other words I have the utmost confidence that gammafunk will succeed. now calm down it's just a stupi...

Obviously this is just a snippet, so you can't say it's an error, as it's probably defined elsewhere. A snippet for a loop where you don't declare and initialize the loop variables? Seems like a pretty bad snippet to me. No, he does not. Deletion happens only if success is false, and if success is ...

It isn't about the worst player or punishing players, it's basic RPG common sense - think about it the way a standard RPG fan would come to it: 'fire kills hydra heads/plants, I need to carry around a flame weapon', 'holy for demons/undead', 'freeze for cold blooded' - that's already 3 weapons, and...

Gammafunk, whilst I understand your viewpoint, that's just how you play the game as an experienced player - many other people don't know what they'll need so they have to make guesses on what will make them survive - to me that's strategy and exciting. Monsters already take care of players that don...

I guess I should also mention that the weightless changes were merged into trunk a while ago and are already live on CSZO and CBRO. One additional and mostly technical change that was necessary is that corpses and skeletons are always put below any non-stationary items in a pile. This is because the...

You don't need to carry more than a few weapons ever, and carrying a few weapons was quite possible when we had inventory weight. It's easier to do that now, but the 'difficulty' that was removed was really just hassle balancing out excess consumable and didn't involve much strategic thinking you we...

Things that could happen: I merge weightless tonight, and begin finishing up this follow-up git branch sitting on my laptop that I've tentatively named "savetheitems". Or I could instead keep posting responses to twelwe until I only get thanks and replies without so much as a whiff of ingr...

sometiems i wonder with the devs, they ignore almost everything i suggest, none of it ever goes in. Is this because I don`t write thousands of paragraphs arguing my ideas? Is there some word count goal I need to reach? Should I format my posts better? Should I propose massive, sweeping changes that...

Based on some discussions with the dev team, I've removed the large rock inventory limit. Now you can carry as many as possible, but they mulch at a higher rate. I go into a bit more detail and suggest other possibilities in the commit Another change I've implemented is duvessa's idea to make corpse...

I still say it's terrible that Grunt did dck's homework. The child will never be independent unless he learns to do things on his own!

At this point and with all of the double-meaning of "Thanks" and such, I honestly can't tell if I'm being dunked or given shoutouts. Well played, Tavern.

A lamp of fire is probably most ideal thing since it makes bolts of fire that leave flame clouds and creates flame elementals. Fire elementals aren't very good in swamp imo since they can't move through water (and will fail to appear entirely if the lamp tries to summon one over water). I guess the...

Yes, suggestions of things that make allies and things that make fire are both good, and I'd add to that probably one of the simplest things you can use for hex-immune enemies : NETS . Spriggans can throw nets now, and if you wait until you're adjacent or nearly so, you'll have little trouble moving...

Well that would penalize the regen-rate while moving for slow-moving species/forms/Cheibriados worshipers. If you have slow movement, one turn will necessarily take more than 10 aut, possibly even 20 aut. You'd be cutting the movement-based regen of Cheibrodos worshipers in half, which would be pre...

Wait what?? I thought the fix was already implemented and it was just -If you take an action that lasts more than 10 auts, -Only regenerate for 10 auts (This is exactly how it was explained for me btw) Should I make a patch for it then? Well that would penalize the regen-rate while moving for slow-...

Of course gammafunk just told me it isn't exactly a trivial problem to fix and this is a hypermarginal part of the game, so man, I guess just keep swinging that bread bros. Yes, and I don't mean to imply that no one will fix the regen/turns/aut/score problem, it's just not all that high on the prio...

I like Sif Muna. A lot.

We've been working on the removal of inventory weights, and there's a playable experimental branch on CSZO to this end. The justification for this change is that weight limits don't result in sufficiently interesting decisions to justify the constant inventory juggling and tedium that results. Most ...

Hrm, I see you're playing on some kind of special branch. You should give tons of adulation to whoever made that overpowered summoner possible imo.
