Tactics settings are really important, and a last-ditch attempt is if you're very near death, switch to Berserk and wail on the monster. Sometimes it won't work, but other times, you'll kill the...

Nope; this was before finding herbs. So this appears to be a ME thing and not a CK thing, then. No clue what causes it though...

Nope, definitely chaotic.

Attempting another ME CK, got -2 Wi and +2 St, To, Dx, and Ma that I can't explain as well. Something is up here.

I was recently playing a ME CK and noticed that my Wi had a variable Spc penalty, usually hovering around -3 to -5. I couldn't identify the source; it might have been a corruption (flesh of order?)...

ChAoS mists does give +SeeI (confirmed via pool effects early on when I had no other reasonable source of +SeeI)

I can't figure out how to log into the blog comment page; it says my username is invalid and I can't find anywhere to sign up if it uses a different account system than the forum.

That said, I do...

The Unicorn starsign actually makes you get more corrupted, not less. I think there's a few alignment-related signs that are inverted as well (Tree?)

The fact that save files can spontaneously become unloadable.
The fact that ADOM being tied to a commercially-locked device that not all of us have would be bad.
The fact that there are lots of...

Alright, time to play!

EDIT: 100 turns in, there's a tension room here somewhere, but I've found the downstair, so I can flee to it. Nothing exciting; two chaos brothers were dispatched at the...

All right, time for me to give this a go.

EDIT: Ow, I got deaded pretty quick. Oh well.

Alright, I'm going to have a go now.

EDIT: Update #1, Turn 2614

Encountered a zombie tension room and two jackalweres, but other than that there's been nothing very special. I got a square key...

I'd like to join up - mark me as maybe server.

You could set up a wall of doors inside, perhaps?

Well, I lured him off the level with :s and got my stuff back, but then I died yesterday do a stone ooze, which I forgot paralyzed. Oops.

I was wondering if there's any way I can not make the whole town hostile... like the "tossing an object behind" thing. Are there any tricks that might work?

How can I get my equipment back from a dwarven guardian who stole my equipment that I dropped on the altar to identify and forgot? I know I can lure him off the level, but that means I have to wait...

You mean you don't get the phial each game?[/sarcasm]

I have savescummed for the purposes of backups, but I end up frequently using them anyway.

But I have promised myself that once I beat the game (with or without scumming), I will not scum.

Well, D&D uses commoner (and a couple of others) as the classes which regular NPCs have. Or it could be just a weaker class for added game challenge, like farmer. But I think the most likely option...

Items 2, 3, and possibly the latter half of 4 are unnecessary - JADE could be written (probably not early on, but it could be done) to make it capable of dynamic loading .class files - I've seen Java...

How about staggered releases with nightly builds?

If the script kiddie successfully figures out what 127.0.0.1 means, then next one to try is 127.255.255.254 (any address starting with 127 other than 127.0.0.0 or 127.255.255.255 is loopback).

I think that variant management is not really dependent on whether or not something is open-sourced or not. Generally, a good open-source project doesn't get a lot of variants - contributions head...

Just want to point out a little thing I found funny: ADOM/JADE appears to consistently be behind on the times... DnD is now getting rid of the L/C axis, in favor of just G/E.

I really like the...

And that text is never actually referenced... which is a good reason to believe that it was taken out with the intent to add it later, but that never happened.
