Generic Brainstorming!

[Grimm]

Orcs should get a racial tax break.

[Confidence Interval]

Orcs should get a racial tax break.

They already do. If you check the source code you will find (albeit that it's not very easy to find) references to "bf" - this is the Beogh Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization supported by most orcs . They get tax breaks on their donations to this not-for-profit foundation. How else do you think they came to be the only playable race with its own god?

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Heh. This looks similar to ЗОПУ (ASSOS), another orc support group originated in Russian Fidonet...

[Jabberwocky]

For the 0.11 release tournament there should be a robin clan with all the different robin accounts in it.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Jokes aside, that would be an excellent idea!

But, instead of Robins, there can be collaborative accounts for a few players.
For example: R18 + Grimm + 78291 == RGZip_robin

Or R18_skillrobin, for example.

That also explains why they have so damn much money just lying around their headquarters. They're some kind of CULT, man.

All right lads I've got it. The creature described in this clip has GOT to be put in the game.

[Jabberwocky]

That will be a interesting addition.

[nicolae]

dpeg mentioned elsewhere that even before Stone Soup there was the idea of a Spider God, who could only be joined by a player who was in spider form.

Better idea: Pig God. Kirke and the Pig altar would always generate on the same level.

[Confidence Interval]

Pig God.

Miss Piggy is exalted by your worship.

[Jabberwocky]

Pig God.

Miss Piggy is exalted by your worship.

New god, Kermit the Frog. Appreciates? Dislikes? Is in a inter-species relationship with Miss Piggy.

[Confidence Interval]

Dislikes?

He dislikes it when you kill frogs, of course.

[Grimm]

Guys those are obviously uniques not gods. Come on.

[TehDruid]

Kermit the Frog doesn't accept worship from the French species.

[Jabberwocky]

Kermit the Frog doesn't accept worship from the French species.

Considering that crawl doesn't feature the French this isn't really a problem.

[Grimm]

How can you dismiss galehar's contributions so callously?

[Jabberwocky]

How can you dismiss galehar's contributions so callously?

Galehar is wonderful. But they aren't in the game its self yet.

[nicolae]

Paper wasps. When a scroll is generated on deep dungeon levels there is a chance it will have a flag set to have a paper wasp inside and when you read the scroll the wasp comes out.

[Grimm]

In addition to the T&D skill, there should also be a T&A skill.

[Confidence Interval]

Again with the breast thing!

[nicolae]

Again with the breast thing!

He even named his new description project the Text Improvement Taskforce.

He's got a one-track mind, that Grimm.

[Grimm]

I'm milking it.

[Confidence Interval]

I'm milking it.

That's not a cow, it's a bull.

[Grimm]

Bull.

[Jabberwocky]

The RNG should be a actual monster in the game. The RNG is a renamed Test Spawner. Killing it gives you a set of loaded die which you use to determine all your die roles. The only downside to killing it is the fact that after you have killed it you have to role all your own dice.

[Pteriforever]

Crawl rule34.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Crawl rule34.

(looks at Pterifo's signature)

[Grimm]

When you butcher big fish, goldfish, octopodes, or other such creatures, the chunks should be sushi rolls.

Crawl rule34.

In the interests of science, I must inform you this does not qualify as brainstorming. Because it already exists. Seriously, took me about a minute to find. Two to find an unambiguous example.

...let's avoid links and discussion though. Keep the board clean. I mean, kids play this game. Theoretically. Assuming they have the patience for it, and have somehow been somehow traumatized into accepting "losing is fun" earlier in life than is the norm.

New brainstorm: we need something specifically for the traumatized children playing this game.

[Grimm]

A teddy bear race, I think would do nicely.

[nicolae]

New brainstorm: we need something specifically for the traumatized children playing this game.

Sigmund and Grinder blocking all the downstairs on D:3. Toughen up, you little whippersnappers.

[Jabberwocky]

Orcs should get a racial tax break.

So that's why there is gold all over their place. They don't pay a large amount in taxes.

[Jabberwocky]

And for the traumatized children obviously crawl must have therapy dogs.

Yeah I said that in the sixth message down on this page.

Singing Sword should be reflavoured as the iSword and should play your favorite tunes. No headphones though, they haven't been invented yet.

Potion of coffee. Keeps you from being put asleep for a few hundred turns after you have drunk it.

[IronJelly]

Potion of coffee. Keeps you from being put asleep for a few hundred turns after you have drunk it.

Has a small chance of being decaf, and thus having no effect.

has a rare chance of spilling on your lap, essentially casting sticky flame on yourself.

drinking more than two of these in a short time will give you the new "jitters" status, which is a combination of speed, and the shouting mutation, you pass out when this status ends.

There actually is a jittery mutation in the game, maybe it's from there being coffee mixed into the !mutation.

And if you manage to drink 100, you gain the ultimate haste spell in which time almost stands still for anything but you.

Unrandart Boxing Gloves. +3 Gloves that add 3 to your base Unarmed damage and a chance to knock down (paralyze) an opponent for a number of turns proportional to your Unarmed Combat skill.

You can't wield weapons, wear shields or throw things with them equipped. Using scrolls is also a bit difficult (identical to "blurry vision 1" mutation).

[Jabberwocky]

New Robin proposal. Grimmrobin. Play either MiBe in 0.10 or MdFi in older versions. Every other post in chat has to be either a pun or a highly obscure literary reference. These are the only gameplay differences. (Sorry Grimm about this idea.)

[Grimm]

I rock MiBe, not MiFi.

[Jabberwocky]

I rock MiBe, not MiFi.

I have edited my post to reflect this. Thank you.

How about the unrandart Makhleb's Dirty Fightin' Brass Knuckles. These brutal fist wrapped barbs are permanently cursed, and can not be removed once worn, but they aren't a weapon, they're a glove-slot item (mostly so you can still butcher corpses). Brass knuckles have a good chance of knocking an opponent's teeth one to three tiles away from them. Loose teeth can be used as sling ammo.
