My second escape, a short tale i'm not proud of
Once upon a time..
...i was having a good time with octopussies. They are awesome. They do really feel intense after my past Spriggans addiction.
In 2 days i had 4 OpWr^Ash||Dith clearing Lair. One was a few pixels far from decayin rune, i just have a visual trouble noticing Lernaean Hydra (which is fine) while focusin at swamp dragons in noxious fumes. I loved every one of those chars, and it felt like i really could go very far.
I'm very satisfied also to be able to reach Lair staircase 75% of the times i start an octo warper, surviving amazingly challenging situations (at least for my noobish experience). This is based on last week tries.
Till yesterday when i took it too easy....
I lost my last one on dire elephants. Really wasted... mpft... i felt like i need something different, just to regain the proper tensed love on Oppies. Just a fewcompletely different dumb rounds before bed. Something i never tried.. what to ..? ... -------> MiBe!
I started tabbing, "o"ing, tabbing, "o"ing, pleased to gain heavy armours on Bailey, interested what will happen by skillin high armour, afraid by burning spellbooks (burning an Akashi Record for a Wr player is kinda.. it fels bad. Really), tabbing and so on. God gift was a funny new event. Cleaned Lair, cleaned Orc, time for runes.
Well, i paid some attention just till the spider's rune. Not that it needed brain,i tabbed till there.
It felt like being a truck driver in the incoming era of autopiloting cars. You are supposed to be just a overviewer.
Then i noticed why Trog is named like that. Troglodite is very explanatory for such people enjoyin this gamestyle. Didn't clear shoals, just the shortest way to the rune, choosed to go for silver rune and tabbed TILL THERE. Really. Can u believe? I tabbed through V:5 straightforward. The only incident was being banished in Abyss 2 times but hey, the luck wasn't enough, i was genetically stable by benefical mutation potion. Ouch.
I wanted to die. Depths may be challenging? No. What about Zot? Omg is so late.. need to sleep pff. F**k i wont spend time in Zot. When i find a downstair i'll enter.
So the Orb run been the only interesting part even with healing wand and 13(iirc) recharging scrolls. I had to care because such a ghost would last there forever against my octos.
Guys, if u want to keep people playin DCSS you should add some popup warning when pickin this char. Definitely. If there wasn't such an underlayin octo love i could be stopping the game for a long time. 3.30 hours of torture over 4.30 played. It's dangerous ... i could have some stat badmutation in real life since then.
Morgue as attachment so u will have to REALLY care to see it. Not really worth.
