How are you like/not like a bot?
...when you play crawl?
I was reading about people using bots in crawl earlier and got to thinking about how I play.
Bot-like: Oblivious to "pager goes off" messages...I only seem to notice them if they're on-screen when I come back from being afk. I browsed through the dump of my last win and there were people having conversations while I was playing and I had no idea at the time.
Human-like: Spends vast amounts of time standing on lair stash, paging through inventory, then paging through stash, repeats indeterminately, then either quits or goes someplace difficult.
