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

At the very least we should keep the elves, humans, and honestly I would totally support the return of the mountain dwarves, if only so that Crawl will have the "basic" races again. Halflings, eh, I couldn't care less. I mean, when was the last time anyone actually played a halfling?

The council of the 27 have been trying to keep him quiet. The mountain dwarves found out, that's why they had to go. Dpeg was a patsy, they blackmailed him into saying it was because they were too similar to other species. Go back to 0.3, the clues are all there. Hidden unique in the source code, can't generate. Search the code, break the code. Find the Grassy Gnoll, he's Yiuf's brother, his flavor text speaks the truth. Soylent Green is merfolk. Soylent Green is merfolk. Soylent Green is merfolk.

It already takes a very large number of games and a very long time to figure out what all the gods do, unspoiled, and 19 is pretty far short of 27; even at that number I think removing gods would probably be better for the game than adding more.
