Anyone else **really** suck (but keep coming back for more?)
Or "I suck at this game. I've only over completed it three times, and only once with more then three runes."
Or "I suck at this game. It wasn't til my 42nd ascension that I managed it with a [insert improbably difficult race-character combination]."
All of you: I take my hat off to you. But you don't suck. I suck. I counted up my deaths recently and there were around 1850; I've played more since then, and I probably missed some, so let's figure I've had over 2000 games. Occasionally I make it to about XL14 - that's my highest. I've cleared Hive two or three times and been to Snake once but no other branches. No clue what Zot looks like. Hall of Blades, Pandemonium, Elf place? No clue. I *once* got a rune (the Serpentine one, obviously), and that was when I cheated. Mostly I die well before then. On Dungeon Level 1, most commonly.
So I suck. I really suck. Yet I still play. I love DCSS and am humbly grateful to its creators and developers.
But my question: am I the only one? Is it only me who sucks, or is there a silent mass of suckers out there who just don't post ? Do you, too, despair of ever getting through (or even to) the midgame? If so, speak up! Be proud!
DCSS-suckers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your anonymity/ pride/ remaining sense of selfworth!
