If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Proposal: Recycle Character

So, I've figured out the part of the game I prefer, and it's the part after lair/orc but before depths. For me that includes vaults slime and 1-2 lair branches. Before that I've played that part something like 600 times, and after that I find it less exciting, it kinda all melds together. I've currently got 2 online dudes on different accounts in their xl 20s that I'm not sure what to do with; I've grown out of leaving surprise firestorm/shatter ghosts around d10, I don't like to control-q games, and I'm not motivated to continue them.

Therefore, Proposal: Control-shift-R now asks "Would you like to recycle this character?". If the answer is "Y", then instead of leaving a ghost, leave a named meat ration: "Meat Ration of Baldu" with description "Eat me as I would have eaten you" / "We become I" / "Let's be together"/ ......

The way I see things, this would bring a feeling of continuity, and foster hope that something better awaits us in all possible futures.

I don't know what anyone else thinks but this seems slightly weird to me.

Would the proposed meat ration act as strong poison and thus achieve the same in-game effect as a player ghost, i.e. have a good chance of killing you?

Of course not, that would be such a rotten legacy!

Actually, ghouls could leave a permanently rotting meat ration, that would be great! And spriggan apples, centaurs bread, orcs pizza, mummies porridge. Sweet!

Indeed, and if this proposal comes through, you could have an even better taste of my poetry.

You may want to try something like crate crawl, where you make a non tacked attempt to get to the Vaults and escape the dungeon, or Crawl Light, which has a shorter game and other changes but has been dead for around a year.
On IRC my nick is reaverb. I play online under the name reaver, though.

Thanks for the serious reply but I can't play without the recent improvements, and I'm not interested in coding during my downtime. When I'm relaxing in crawl I just wanna solve some interesting puzzles mostly by chunking dudes with a 2h weapon or with orb of destruction.
