Robe of angst.

Shoes of glamorous fashion sense. There may be some overlap with shoes of poor fashion sense.

socks of acedia

Before today I had no idea there was a word for "depression monk-style". Truly, Crawl is more educational than I had realized.

[Grimm]

pants of puissance

no jokes please

i never joke about pants, Grimm

pants and socks slots are woefully missing

Please develop.

[Grimm]

Basically what we need is to write a script that will give us a CYC version of this, which you will soon be better at than Crawl.

[Stormfox]

I swear that mashing TAB in Progress Quest makes the fights go faster. They must have stolen it from Crawl.

[Grimm]

If our plan comes to fruition holding down tab will automatically post jokes to the Generic Brainstorming thread. Shift-tab for puns.

I just noticed "Land Squid" is one of the playable races in PQ. They stole that too.

"o" for making a suggestion thread in the Game Design forum

Children these days. You don't know about elms?

well, I looked up Elms, and now I know about them, but yaks?

[Grimm]

New monster: yakety yak. Utters a constant stream of persiflage. Packs of these are highly aggravating.

Yakety yaks have a chance of dropping yakety sacks. Which introduces containers to Crawl, but for game balance they can only be accessed when you are running away from a monster.

[Grimm]

Yakety sacks are used primarily for holding tacks, axes, and hacky sacks.

[Grimm]

New race: Distortion Dwarf. Designed to please and irritate people, often at the same time.

[Pereza0]

Piñata yak

Reduces your LOS to 1 when it comes into view

Can only be killed with clubs or maces

Drops artifacts when dead

New Unique: The S Is For Sucks Dragon.

I don't think I would like to suck a dragon.

[Grimm]

DON'T GO THERE

[Confidence Interval]

You feel an ache in your throat.
There is a nasty taste in your mouth for a moment.

[Grimm]

We went through all this with Lola.

[Confidence Interval]

My apologies: I missed that one.

It is my general observation that certain topics and discussions in CYC tend to recur, e.g. "should I unwield this distortion weapon?" and "how do you pronounce those funny names?". Oh, and interminable threads of bad puns.

[Grimm]

You were a prime contributor to the Lola trope: viz. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=950&p=34051&hilit=lola#p34051 et seq. Perhaps you've blotted it out.

You're certainly right though, we're starting to go round in circles here in CYC. We need some fresh thinking, a guiding hand with a clear vision, maybe even a statement of our philosophy.

We need a comedy dpeg.

[Confidence Interval]

That Lola discussion was more about transvestitism than fellatio but I shall take the hint.

I agree, there is nothing that amplifies a good joke more than efficiency and organization. This is why the Germans are so well known for their sense of humour.

[Grimm]

Ha ha ha!

[FluidDynamite]

Ring of sticky flames.

[Grimm]

Ring of fire.

[Jabberwocky]

Ring of fire.

Randomly causes high power fire storms or shatters to happen.

[Grimm]

No, Ring of Fire is a spell you cast on a specific monster. It causes the monster to have retroactively eaten some very hot chili peppers.

You cast Ring of Fire.
Sigmund feels a burning sensation in his fundament.
Sigmund says "Please excuse me from the battle, I need to use the toilet."
You laugh heartily.

I thought you were referring to the tectonically active zone.
This seems like a very silly idea.

[Grimm]

The geologic Ring of Fire you propose will be on the rod of tectonics along with Magma and Did the Earth Move for You Too.
