I still think it's a nice idea. It might be an idea to get rid of the no-save rule, though - just have the timer stop and start when the game's saved or loaded as appropriate.

It means a maximum minimum-level-requirement. E.g 'We know you can't get Hawkslayer at level 10, but you can get him at level 25. You might be able to get him at level 15, we don't know, but we do...
Agreed.
Well done Meh!
Indeed, that was my mistake. I meant meh.
The point is that you would then play the level you generated, finish it (if you can), and then continue. If you manage to not die to a randomnly...
From the rules thread.
It says 'is suspected', not 'may be suspected'. You could argue that the lack of food meh left us with made us rush through and get killed. I'm fairly sure it always...
The way I understand it, if you were to die Epythic would get a chance to continue on from the same point as all of us. If he survived the round, he'd win, and the other rankings would be decided by...
Beginning now.
And dead, hah. That was an ignoble end. Vastly underestimated my ability to kill a random innocuous monster.

This is by far the most proprietary community I've ever been a part of, and it really makes me laugh sometimes.
Right, playing my turn now, give me a second to get things set up.
20000: Get rid of our cursed bottle of booze. Equip armour and weapon and shield.
20005: Begin exploring.
20010: Pick up a...
Requesting clarification: How much does our deity hate us? Is it 'I won't help you' hate us or 'I'm going to summon creatures to destroy you' hate us?
If it's simpler: What was the last message...
Remember you must die.
/Obscure?
Tough, but rewarding; that elven chainmail and the replacement of that cursed girdle with carrying should help quite a bit.
Though the Chaos Gate opens after Grey's turn, so doubtless someone will...
I'm beginning my turn in a second. Though pretty, for the next turn, at least, please don't cover the ground with money. I find it confusing :P
12000: Begin. Kill rats.
12150: Pick up: iron...
Hey, sorry, I've had a really busy few days. I'll play tonight (as in, sometime within the next six hours or so) - hopefully that's acceptable.
The main addition that springs to my mind is the use of PoCC on Chaos beings to cause damage.

Like the others, I'll similarly praise Crawl. Though to be honest, both Angband and Nethack are stable for me.
Honestly, bar Incursion (which is still in development) and...
However, such scummy methods aren't entirely without benefit: they highlight boring, repetitive parts of the game which should be changed. To use your example of piety overflow, it highlights the...
Don't hold your breath, seriously. TB's on some kind of Pen and Paper kick at the moment.
Taking my turn now.
2000: Begin.
2005: Pick up a longbow.
2150: Kill an orc and a goblin rockthrower, pick up a large ration and a loaf of bread
2250: Rat tension room. Reach level 5,...
I'll go long stride as well. If we get two, Strong.
As for names... After a mis-spent afternoon, I'm voting for Columbo (named for the detective).
Surely it'd be better if pet kills didn't count, as a bard could kill an infinite number of cats and still face a weak cat lord, whereas if the player character himself killed the cats the cat lord...
Doesn't take into account the fact that the guy following you may play his turn in such a manner that he doesn't stockpile on food, only eating what he finds to keep himself off 'hungry', creating a...
That's what I dislike about (certain) chaotic tactics: it turns it into a game of luck rather than skill. Obviously, luck plays a part in the non-chaotic rounds, but when things like this happen it...
Taking my save shortly.
Dead now.
Not a bad idea by meh. But my own thought would be to save that until you're level 13, as then you can go to the pyramid, get the pickaxe, go to the DDL, get the wand of teleport, and have a means of...
