Re: Why double swords and triple swords?

I failed to get the movie reference but I like the names double and tripple swords, as I thought they were swords unique to crawl.

I achieved greatplayer in less than a year.

Now it's trendy to make fun of trendy people making fun of people who make fun of vocal atheists(who make fun of religious people)

That's like... hipsterception

Re: Why double swords and triple swords?

I think we're all overlooking the big picture, which is just that people like to make fun of other people in order to feel better about themselves, and more or less always have.

After all, "We need something to kill the pain of all that nothing inside" (KMFDM - Dogma, released in 1996)

But most days I prefer "Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong" (Buffalo Springfield - For what it's worth, released in 1967)

Regardless, I don't think dpeg's Orc Jesus/water walking joke is awful. Though I kind of wish Beogh gave you an ability to resurrect dead orcs, but I guess that'd be too useful to be funny.

This is almost the top item on my todo list (it's been planned for a while to replace orc corpse sacrifice) but it might be a while before I get around to it.

It's your lucky day!

I'm not bothered by the crawl gods.

I could be a little offended by your comment that water walking was intended as a joke, but I'm much too busy being offended by real life stuff.
