Challenge

[BabyRage]

I got bored and want to try some self-imposed challenges in crawl. I am thinking MuCK or maybe Mu^Chei? Xom will probably cause a lot of cheap deaths by confusion. Please suggest something reasonably challenging but not ridiculous (no felid).

[Dungeoneer]

VpCK, MuCK, Fo of Chei (pretty fun tbh), Mi spells only, TrFE of Veh - spells only

[VeryAngryFelid]

Mu of Chei is boring and powerful.

Play any combo with the following rules:
1) you cannot retreat with a monster in view, you must stay in place or move closer to it.
2) you cannot stay/rest adjacent to or on stairs.
3) you cannot shout
That means no split packing, no stair-dancing, no pillar-dancing, no luring. If you want to avoid a fight, you must use some consumables (Passage of Golubria and Blink spell don't help much)

[BabyRage]

No sorry, I just want some challenge combos (to brag about it with my online profile).

[Shtopit]

Never use numpad 6 or l, only use 6.

Or naga assassin of Quazlal.

Well, I am not sure there is anything to brag about in current crawl. With speedruns you need much luck and lots of patience (lose 95+% games and even suicide characters if they are too slow), with "hard" combos you need just lots of patience without any luck (no autoexplore, retreat 10+ tiles before fighting a goblin, optimal training etc.).
It looks like the whole game is about patience

Naga of Qazlal sounds fun.

I had some good fun running FoFi. Best time was 1:40ish, you can get a lot quicker than that just by having a decent rc file I think. Shard1697 splatted a ~1 hour run due to unlucky orb run, so a sub 1 hour finish should be very possible. I also streaked 3 in a row (well, quitted the last one due to bad time but would have won) so you don't necessarily need that much patience. If nothing else it's a nice change of pace to tab everything as quick as possible.

If you're talking about turncount speedruns that's a completely different thing I guess.

[Lacuenta]

Any troll of gozag

[Dungeoneer]

try Gh of gozag too.
or spriggan of qaz!

Real time speedruns are still speedruns with the same requirement to luck and patience. Though patience is applied in a different way, you have to be patient pressing o-tab-tab-tab-o-tab-tab

DEMo of Chei. Good luck.

MuCK is for loosers.
do DUHZ.

I don't like DUHZ as it is currently defined. You can scum XP as Mu or Vp, for example.

Good luck doing a challenge game with Mu.

What's so bad about Mu for the challenge or not? Pick Gozag if you need potions
I am sure you will get huge number of gold as bonus while scumming and will buy lots of nice stuff.
And no, I am not interested in such games so please don't tell me to prove it by playing it myself

[smooth1]

This one? I lumped it outside the desired category of "something reasonably challenging but not ridiculous (no felid)."

Good God almighty! I was already thinkin of cutting myself tonight, but I think I'll just do myself a favor and go straight to the slip knot.

Is it so because you won't survive even a U:1 as a Mu**^***?

[shnurlf]

I've been trying out the MuMo challenge, I've made it to D:7 so far...
