I don't believe that Elynae and Elliptic are the same person. I might be wrong though.

[Jabberwocky]

hyperevilminmikeelynaelliptic

I want that person to be on my team for the next tournament.

[Blade]

hyperbolic = elliptic
elynae = elynae

Elynae and elliptic have playstyles that are about as different as two very good players can possibly have. So no, they are very much not the same person. :p

This does not strike me as outside the realm of possibility for a time traveling robot from the future running multiple instances of itself.

(Yes, all these nicknames seriously are registered on CDO. I am one of the greatest villains of history.)

elynae = infinite monkeys writing hamlet
elliptic = infinite very literate monkeys writing hamlet

You missed 78291 and jeanjacques unless they happen to be one of the above already and Bart who's winrate is just disgusting IIRC

[ebarrett]

and reid who shows up in tourneys to win 100% of his games

[cerebovssquire]

and crate and magistern who are both probably better than me

[Blade]

and undermind who plays really oddly and very slowly and wins 2/3 of his games

[danharaj]

Don't forget pivotal who orb runs tomb on a whim.

[Blade]

well, since we're bragging about the accomplishments of others:

minmay has won every mummy, including muck*xom
casmith789 has streaked 13 games
evilmikee has won 249 times

yeah, crawl has a lot of really freaking good players

[evilmike]

evilmikee has won 249 times

mikee might have 249 wins (I don't know). I "only" have around 60 online wins and maybe 10 offline. We're different people. He's better at crawl than I am.

[Blade]

evilmikee has won 249 times

mikee might have 249 wins (I don't know). I "only" have around 60 online wins and maybe 10 offline. We're different people. He's better at crawl than I am.

:p yeah, mikee and I were trying to start the rumour that you guys were the same person.

Aw, I like spreading hoaxes. You should have informed me...

What if the greatest Crawl player ever didn't play online? How would we know? This poll is biased towards those with internet connections. And against those who prefer using a mouse.

[Patashu]

It seems unlikely that the best Crawl player ever would play offline - seeing how much of an advantage playing online gives you.

That sounds exactly like onlineist propaganda.

[Grimm]

By definition the best players are drawn from those who have statistics recorded, which only happens online. There's probably some guy in Kenya or northern Mexico who can run a marathon much faster than anyone, but no one will ever know who he is.

What on earth do you mean? These people don't even exist. and lol mouse

[chrysalis]

Haha, how do you play without an internet connection? Get your buddy to burn you a few floppies? (Whats the verb for makin' floppy disks anyway? This is some archaic english studies already)

Also yeah, the day that mouse use is supported online is the day that I move over from offline.

[Un67]

Honestly, I don't see why playing online is any better than playing offline. Sure, having people spectate and give advice is nice, but a) I am a boring and terrible player and people never watch me and b) really, being able to see all of your items at once is nice.

[nicolae]

What on earth do you mean? These people don't even exist. and lol mouse

My internet goes out relatively frequently.

[cerebovssquire]

how dare you doubt a dogma preached ex cathedra
these are dangerous words, people

a) I am a boring and terrible player

I don't see how watching a terrible player can be boring.


(Seriously: elitism is largely unjustified, and I only am an elitist because being an elitist is fun. However, there is no reason to believe people who brag about offline statistics (cough kefka). Though watching webtiles, webtiles dumps and in particular webtiles splats is hilarious, with exceptions of course, like Bart)

[nicolae]

However, there is no reason to believe people who brag about offline statistics (cough kefka).

This is pretty much the only reason I'd want to play online, fortunately my skills are still terrible enough that by the time I have something to brag about, it'll be version 0.15 and the downloadable version will have fully-integrated internet play.

[Un67]

I don't see how watching a terrible player can be boring.

I'm not that kind of bad. I'm more of the "oh, I've got terrible instincts and put off interesting stuff as long as possible because I'm deathly afraid" bad, and really no one every wants to watch that. If people actually choose to start watching me when I play online on their own accord, color me an online fan

[sardonica]

OK, first of all, I'm proud to have started off a long, cool thread

Second of all, a personal message to cerebovs': Can you please give me your personal, Internet blessing, to succeed in Crawl?

[Grimm]

Are you nominating cs as the Pope of Crawl?

[sardonica]

Are you nominating cs as the Pope of Crawl?

Having watched some of the amazing stuff he has pulled off, I'd call him the Jesus of Crawl

[Jabberwocky]

You mean Elynae is the FSM in robot from the future form?

[rebthor]

and reid who shows up in tourneys to win 100% of his games

I think reid uses MAPHACK :p

[giygas]

However, there is no reason to believe people who brag about offline statistics (cough kefka).

This is pretty much the only reason I'd want to play online.

I cannot but agree. However, I don't really care about statistics that much, so I play offline.
I also play offline because I find online to be quite laggy on my netbook, while offline runs quite fine.

Maybe there should be some kind of "offline score verivfier," so all of us offliners can prove that we have legitimately won. I've won one time, , but I can't prove it, except with a dump, which can be easily forged.

Luckily, I'm not so much of a megalomaniac (cough kefka) that I start spamming LOOK AT ME I WON ONE MILLION BILLION GAZILLION JILLION TIMES!!!!!!

Silence is the better part of valor I guess.

[XuaXua]

Altar Boy of Crawl.

Catholic Rabbi of Crawl.

Even Jesus had to be lifesaved once.

...oh wait, now THERE is a good solution to the argument about Felid extra lives. You don't come back for 3 game days and all timers fire appropriately.
