> probably I still won't use them..
that's where I landed too.
I meant adombot assisted wish provision. A few 99 charges wands work fine.
Once had an idea to pit some mob types against one another in an arena
style combat situation, but nobody seemed interested.
"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
Hah, I was thinking just about this after my experiments Recording videos, adding sound effects and placing on youtube - weekly ADOM deathmatch. Not very interesting probably since they will punch each other in melee, like that Ki-rin, who could have just casted one deathray and survived. Still funny though
Me too! That's one of the reasons I liked seeing monsters punch each other more in the prereleases (the other is the sheer refreshment of no longer having everything trying to kill you).
I once wondered who would win in an emperor moloch vs. cat lord fight, and used some hacked figurines to find out... the moloch did (he hits like a wrecking ball and is just as tough, after all), although he ended up critically injured.
"And light there be!"
Then let's do this as the next forum challenge! One (with adom hacking skillz) is the arena master and sets up a number of cool fights. And the rest of us bet on each outcome. The one with the most correct guesses wins the challenge
Should probably be streamed live so everybody could spectate and comment on irc in real time. I'm thinking Open Broadcast Software? Is that the thing Ln used for some of his adom possible chars' runs?
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here."
Or maybe on the server and everybody just joins as spectator?
