Thanks about the feedback! I am happy to see that Gozag is just the Right God for the 2016 US election
My only winning Gozagite who had to worry about food was the troll. For the others, I sometimes (rarely) had to buy one food shop, but not more than that. The idea of the food conduct, of course, is Midas (flavour), streamlined interface (as mentioned before), and a minor conduct.
I realise that the appeal of Gozag to many players is items through shops. That's absolutely okay, but I am especially interested in bribing reports. I had good experience with Zot and a hell and Vaults, and an extraordinary one with Elf. (If you're like me, you might be disappointed if you bribe V:$ once or twice, and there still only a few of the initial guard who defect. However, that's okay: bribe works from the top down -- money is naturally spent at the top brass, and it's much more interesting to have that titan or lich on your side.) I am sure that bribing could always use balancing tweaks, but for that I need a bigger statistical base than my bunch of wins.
There are two bits I'd like to change about Gozag, but others tell me they're not big deals... One of them is the incentive to keep killing monsters in cleared areas (with other gods, you lose piety from this, with Gozag, you earn more money). The other is that it's a tiny bit inconvenient to hunt down all the gold, and it'd be easier if corpse-gold magically jumped in your purse as soon as it got stale.
