using tab and o prevents lots of mistakes. 5 too.
tab: highly reduces your chance of pressing the wrong button and moving to a dangerous place. also takes the shortest route to the nearest monster, wich can be very important.
o: autoexplore stops when something important happens, manual exploring does not. at least 1/3 of my deaths in the first month happened because of not using this 2 keys.
also, ashenzari is amazing. it enhances your skills greatly, and provides a lot of info. knowing where the monsters are, peeking trough walls... and remove curse is very common, it is really no big deal to keep yourself cursed.

oh deer, no, I'm one of the good guys!
I suggest playing with fragile characters because if you get used to being smashed by every gnoll, you will become more careful, even when playing Mi or Gr.
I suggest playing Ds because... well, because it is good, fun, powerful and teaches about adaptation.
I suggest playing Na because a new player often thinks just one wrong move wont kill you. this is not true, and Na shows this more than any other race.
xom I guess is a little too much.
nothing you read will beat experience. took me 5 months of constant crawling and over 600 characters to get my first win, but none of those were wasted. I had fun, and I learned a lot. and still learn.
my posts are to be read in a mildly playful tone, with a deep, sexy voice.
