Don't take Kiku on a necromancer, you already have necromancy spells so you won't get as much. (bad advice and bad reasoning)

You shouldn't equip glowing weapons on a gozag character, because if you get distortion you'll banish some enemies and hinder your gold gain.

Only ones wielded by enemies, branded weapons that are just lying on the ground and have not been picked up are unidentified.

I'm pretty sure ground weapons also have brand shown (but I might be wrong).

And only the ones you see a monster with... For example if you fireball a foe you haven't seen behind a corner (let's say orc pack), its weapon won't be identified ! :evil:

You should kill pikel's slaves as soon as you free them because they might wander and kill enemies wielding branded weapons out of your sight.

You shouldn't berserk to run to staircases because you want to be axing 8 enemies at once to maximize the chance that Trog will extend your berserk duration after a kill.

It is more important to identify your potions first over your scrolls; you want to find out which potion type is mutation as soon as possible to be able to drink them.

Worshipping Kikubaaqudgha is a good choice because he lets you summon corpses which you can butcher to extend your berserk duration while you run to staircases.

The Shining One is a great god for the extended game because they give you extra shield skill. Cerebov is the most dangerous enemy in extended because his melee hits do tremendous damage, which shields can block.

Don't save enchant armour scrolls for GDA because if you can kill a gold dragon you should be strong enough to find more of those scrolls by scumming the Abyss or clearing half of a Ziggurat.

You should learn Passage of Golubria whenever you find it - it saves lots of permafood when backtracking.

After having an argument on the forum, come to this thread and post a strawman version of what your opponent said. This will get you many thanks, and it's a little known fact that the more thanks you have on the forums, the better the RNG works for you in the game.

Interpreted by everyone as:

MuCK are either viable or fun!

If neither, bad advice.

Why? Fun is subjective and MuCK is viable, people win it regularly. Also some players like challenge/unusual game even when they don't think they can win (like I played a character who could do nothing but cast spells).
Specifically I won MuCK after someone suggested it to play for me on the forum so I literally followed the "bad" advice ;)

It is a bad advice if someone is asking for a good Tm race, or a good melee character and you just recommend TeTm without any further explanation.

Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible

Always lure enemies away and fight them one on one, because it isn't honorable to engage in reckless brawling. Encounters between monsters and adventurers should always be fair, respectable duels. An unprincipled and uncultured adventurer is unworthy of the title. One must always remember to issue a polite challenge before sparring, and give one's opponent as much time as is needed to prepare. In addition, a truly skilled duelist will allow their opponent to make the first move.

Don't wield-ID a "runed" or "glowing" blowgun, because if cursed it will stick to your lips, or your tengu beak, or your mummy-face-wrappings. But you can then use it to poke a foe in the eye, so there is that ....

Actually, what would the blowgun stick to? Presumably the hands, as the lips are just the force-inducer. (Otherwise, you could still wield things, just not be able to read.)

DDSk is one of the strongest skald starts because you take less damage than other races when enemies hit your spectral weapon.
