More of a Nethack-y tradition, but there are plenty in Crawl too.

Re: YAFM

If you want a lot of laughs, pick a weapon with a Noisy property, e.g. the Singing Sword.
... and forgive us our YASDs,
As we forgive our developers,
And lead us not into the Abyss,
But deliver us from Sigmund,
For Thine is the Roguelike,
the Orb and the Victory,
now and forever.

I'm a particular fan of smiting.

"The imp is smitten!"

So is it going to, like, propose marriage next?

My personal favorite has to be the friendly orc speech. It manages just the right amount of funny and touching.

...I was pleasantly surprised when I drew crusade in Vault:8 to discover that charmed vault guards use the same speech. XD

Th dead are hopping! :D

I have a soft spot for that one due to the frog skeleton my first DDNe raised that killed Sigmund for me. This was really early in my Crawl playing and one of the first times I'd managed to kill that guy. That frog got me revenge for a lot of dead characters. :twisted:

My current favorite ends up in my signature, though I'm going to reserve a special spot for coming across a yellow-highlighted wandering mushroom and being told helpfully that the wandering mushroom is in a state of wandering. Um, yeah.

My favorite dialog has got to be anything that goes along the lines of this:

Sigmund grinds his teeth.
Sigmund says, "Don't worry, I'll kill you fast."
Sigmund falls down a shaft! The shaft crumbles and collapses.

I'm a bit sad that no one has cited the Singing Sword yet. We gave that a lot of lines. So I guess we have to make it really overpowered and print "Read it? (y/n)" prompts after particularly good lines :)

It's probably the rarity. I've never even seen the singing sword. Not once. Though when I do, I'm going to build an entire character around using it and not dying.

Play a stealth build. You'll find it. I've done so 4 or 5 times in my Crawling career and never once with a character who didn't care about making noise.
