New unrand:quickblade of irony

the +13 quickblade of irony {holy MR+ dex-5}

aight

Disappointed. Was expecting: The +14 quickblade of irony (Ponderous, *slow, str+3 dex-3).

+14 is a naga's base movement speed, ponderous is ponderous, slow has a chance to apply slow to you on attack. The sad thing is this is probably still useful, maybe we need to remove the +14.

so the irony is that nobody here knows what irony means

It's already plenty ironic that these weapons that are meant to be bad are still overpowered. Besides, anything related to Chei is inherently ironic.

Well, the "ironic" quickblade would be a quickblade that is actually slow - what I gave. The original post is ironic in that the title sets you up to expect a slow quickblade, but then the posted quickblade isn't actually any slower, although it does reduce dexterity. Both could be considered ironic, it's just at what level - the item itself, or the post.

Irony just means the opposite of what is expected; both posts are ironic on some level. Neither of them are really that terrible of weapons, if they existed. Mine's a bit worse if the slow effect procs, but is otherwise decent. Winged's would be downright amazing against holy-vuln monsters, and pretty good against anything else.

I don't think either qualifies as Alanis irony, aka things which are inconvenient or unfortunate.

New weapon type: slowblade. High delay, but ignores shields.

Protoss is already the weakest race in the game and now you want to make them even weaker?

ATM I would be fine with removing them, but the game is still being patched, so we'll see.

quickblade of irony. Its made if iron.

I play EV. I find +12 randarts with resistant enemies, like you thought it. I don't mind since they think this in 4 Gods:Gozag (Ehh)Makhleb (Invocations are a proposal). That is always pick Vehumet, Ru proposes to agree with a thrown a postgame character with Level 15 or the Lernaean Hydra's back and unwelcoming to find.

As mildly amusing as Cerekov is, it's kind of annoying to have someone just posting word salad to derail random threads.

[Cerekov]

Bah, I didn't say or mean anything about pretending? I think we have animals playing Crawl and I've found that Focus card was removed recently. The problem is in principle, we know the votes. So I don't lie to HP-35%.

Accepting the characterization for the snark to flavor

Doesn't it only post in threads that are already crap?

[jejorda2]

Puns are only the lowest form of wit if you are envious that you didn't think of it first.

[Berder]

I don't believe Cerekov is a true Markov bot. Cerekov uses mostly correct sentence structure and is too topical. It's a human trying to be random.

[byrel]

Eh. More likely a hand edited output of a Markov bot. It'd be hard for a human to be this random.

[MrPlanck]

I don't get it.
