    Default Friday 13

    All my characters are cursed V_V
    Does playing ADOM on a public computer make you giddy to be nerdy?

    But that makes it all the more fun! "Can you survive until you find an altar and get uncursed?"

    Edit: Wait, all? Or just newly created ones? If all characters become cursed, I don't think I'll load any of mine...hmm-hmm...

    Only characters created THIS day are cursed. You are safe to play your older character saves.

    Wouldn't it be even more fun to start cursed and stay so until you reach lvl 50? It would mean never raising your piety to "very close". Pool drinking would be allowed but if you get the cursed intrinsic removed you lose the challenge.

    On a whim, I just rolled a PC. "Let's try another speed run!"
    I roll a GE wiz and she starts with a spellbook of teleport and
    a Le stat of 24. I visit the SMC to get the blanket. "Wow!
    That little guy was tough... that one too." It only takes a
    few seconds before I'm surrounded by goblins, out of PP's,
    and low on HP's.

    I try swatting the lil fellers with my quarterstaff, but I find
    myself with 3 HP's. I use the one charge from a teleport wand.
    I teleport in between two monsters in a corridor. I switch from
    the quarterstaff to a torch/wooden shield combo.... it does
    nothing. "Well this guy's dead, I'll just go ahead and pray for
    healing, just to see what could have been."

    "Your prayer remains unheard."

    "What?! I haven't played a minute yet! How could my piety be
    THAT low?! Is there some stupid bug in the game that doesn't
    allow prayer while wielding a torch?! *Unequips torch*

    "Your prayer remains unheard."

    I try exhausting the teleport wand... I die.

    She was cursed.

    "DOH! Friday the 13th, nice." : )
    "Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."

    Oha. I too started a character this morning. Didn't even notice that he was cursed (!?) Somehow I just didn't have any problems.

    I sacced my way to pre-crowning, got bracers of war. Very, very nice
    Guess that also solved the 'cursed'-problem.

    Enough ADOM for today. But hey, Friday teh 13th seems not to be *that* bad.

    PS: He's a grey-elven wizard, guess that makes it kinda easyish
    Of course it's unfair - that's the whole point.
