Fatigue+ADOM=Never a good idea!

[The Metro Gnome]

When I went to play ADOM I was very tired from a long day. When I got on, I noticed I didn't kill a white dragon vault. On anyother day I would have just ignored it, but I was so tired and went for it. Frozen to death.

Final speed score of 21? Hahaha... Why didn't you get the hell out when you realised they were getting 5 times more hits than you?

[mackthaknife]

yeah, right, drakeling charging white dragons, thats crazy, one ice bolt and you are down. maybe you could beat them with the trick using alchemy skill (have you had it?), fire would take them down speedin you up..

As I said, I was tired and didn't realize what was going on.

Rough death. I know that ADOM + tired = death, but I
still do it too, so I can't snark : )

Unless you really really want your first win to be an ultra,
I advise forgetting about ultras entirely. Just play to shut
the gate. Don't worry about first kill, or courage for that
matter. Don't shy away from an early crowning. The longer
a game lasts, the more you do, the more chances you have
to make that fatal mistake.

[flibble]

I can't play ADOM when I'm really tired because I never run away. Ever. I could be down to one hit point and I'll still try to melee a tension room of doppelganger kings. It just seems like a good idea at the time.

Clearing a dragon vault without immunity at least and invisibility optionally is not a good idea even for not-(drakelings vs. white dragons).

But I must admit, I killed one of my drakeling badasses with immunity and with invisibility this way once. But the other day I avenged them using another guy and ToEF bonus..
