What is your Crawling schedule?

How much time do you spend playing Crawl and how often do you spend it? Personally I play fairly sporadically for about fifteen minutes to thirty minutes a session, which usually is enough to do two or three floors. I don't particularly enjoy huge Crawling sessions since my Crawlsense (yes, I just made up that word) degrades with prolonged play and I tend to get very frustrated when a huge session ends with an abrupt YASD. The main reason I do this however is because I simply enjoy being able to cruise through for a few levels before the next big threat(s). Usually I get to have a few levels or so in between them and I enjoy being able to stretch out this period.

Of course, playing sporadically does have it's drawbacks, namely the fact that I tend to forget about what resources a character has when I do :roll: But anyways, enough about me, what's YOUR Crawling schedule?

Find time. Play Crawl. Otherwise lurk forums... many forums while reading comics.

Oops, wrong forum. Can anyone move this to Crazy Yuif's Corner? :oops:

Re: What is your Crawling schedule?

Moved.

I like to play crawl mostly in hour or two chunks. Additionally, mandatory cease-play kicks in around eleven or twelve at night when I feel myself getting tired. This is discipline born of necessity- I find a clear head is necessary to function. Not that this was always true- back when I was living in Boston, and had frequent insomnia, I could pull an all nighter without ruining my play. Now that I'm sleeping like a human again, I've had to adapt. :lol:

Sometimes, if constrained, I will adopt shorter sessions, usually playing one floor at a time. Not my preferred mode of play though.

Usually late, before going to bed and some weekend when I have no plan. My best games last for two sessions, between bursts of crappy short-lived characters.

Re: What is your Crawling schedule?

I tend to play crawl as a procrastinatory act; I usually play for inappropriately long bouts during "breaks" from doing my work. I tend to do my best crawling in long random sessions when I just mean to clear a few floors. I usually forget about my body functions and forget to eat, go to sleep, bathroom, etc during this crawl binge. For some reason, this doesn't always happen. Sometimes I will play for just a few levels, maybe half an hour or whatever, but by god I can crawl binge.

Re: What is your Crawling schedule?

When I decide to play Crawl, it usually dominates my private, alone free time. After a few days to a week or so, which varies, I drop it entirely after a few YASDs or a win and don't really touch it again until I get the itch again which can sometimes take a few months.
The best strategy most frequently overlooked by new players for surviving: not starting a fight to begin with.

Re: What is your Crawling schedule?

My crawl play hours fluctuate wildly, I usually don't play more than 2 characters in a row and if I splat them I play something else. Usually takes around 20 minutes as I am wildly suicidal most of the time and only shape up my play after at least 5 near misses. If one gets off the floor I will play the crap out of him cos I'm a hopeless addict and have played crawl in excess of 10 hours at a time before. They usually end up suffering brain dead deaths at 4 am and deep deep regret.

After a win I usually don't play for a few days, particularly if I farmed a lot and made a nigh unstoppable death machine. It almost seems a shame to win when you make one of those :(.

Re: What is your Crawling schedule?

10 hours is excessive? ... I should keep my mouth shut about my 24 hour crawl sprees huh? Though... I do surf the web constantly during them darting back and forth...

It begins to sound as an AA meeting.

Re: What is your Crawling schedule?

Mostly I play crawl when I have time. I also play it when I have trouble getting to sleep. (Though I don't expect to get beyond orc when I'm tired.)

Re: What is your Crawling schedule?

When I play Crawl, I'm playing like 10 hours or so. Well, I play too much in general, anyway. On my first and only win so far, the game started around midnight and lasted about 9 hours if i''m right. :?
