You say a bunch of incorrect stuff and give some bad advice, but it's nice to watch. And for having played only so few games (inferred from looking at your highscore list) you're actually playing pretty well. Your video might make some people check out crawl, which would be great. It also might be fun for you to watch it again once you get better at crawl.
I only watched the Spriggan, here's the things I noticed:
- aptitudes don't give a skill bonus, they make your skills level faster.
- "partially explored, cant reach some places" doesn't mean there's a secret door somewhere, it means there's water or a plant in the way. Secret doors are never hinted at.
- reading an unidentified scroll on the off chance that it's remove curse is not a pretty big chance to take. I usually read-id all scrolls in the early game, as soon as I have a few. I start read-iding immediately if I happen to put on something cursed.
- putting on possibly cursed stuff is really most dangerous in the early game, because later on you're sure to have access to remove curse. But ID scrolls are also most scarce early on (and better used on potions), so I often risk it too. Not on something which isn't apparently magical though.
- using ID scrolls on other scrolls should not usually be your top priority. IDing potions is usually much more important. Also, as you said, most rings are good, so might as well try putting them on.
- engaging that orc priest was a bad idea. If you know an enemy is too strong just go away. Especially if it's asleep.
- as a Spriggan you're fast, so you can just run away from most melee enemies if you get low on health.
- you should drink the potion of porridge pretty soon (before you even get hungry), it might get shattered by cold attacks otherwise (orc wizard and darts of frost are the early cold attacks).
