    Default Hardly the rules for ADOM

    The signature of the user Theym contains the following:

    CreateVortex
    IncreaseChanceRatSickness
    Decrease iToHit
    Decrease iLuckIntrinsic
    KillHim/HerAllCosts
    End
    This is the source code in simplest form ;p
    These are hardly the rules for ADOM. But I have idea to make a simpler game that is basically just these rules, where it actually does try to do things like this on nearly every turn or so, and without much else (other than what it implies (of course), and some of the normal game stuff, too). However, the algorithm for "KillHim/HerAllCosts" is not specified. If you can make suggestion, I might do so.

    Err, perhaps Theym was amused by this thread?

    It was just a throw away joke though, I never got round to working up a function for KillHimHerAllCosts.

    Meanwhile, in response to the wording of the poll in this thread: English motherfucker, do you speak it?

    Do you know how they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France, vogonpoet?

    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    Since when do they have a Mc'Fatties in Frence?
    When in darkness, you can always see the light (unless you're in ADOM)

    Most successful combos for me: Grey elf wizards, trollish healers, dark elf beast-fighters, Gnomey monks, and any race barbarians.

    I did read the OP thrice in an effort to discover
    what is hard to understand about it. I then thought
    that maybe some edit magic was happening, but
    his post has no 'this post was edited' message.
    Exactly what is improper about his English?

    >The signature of the user Theym contains the following:
    >>While PCAlive = TRUE

    ...
    >>End

    >These are hardly the rules for ADOM.

    So far it seems clear. He cites an oversimple exageration of ADOM.

    > But I have idea to make a simpler game that is basically just these rules,

    Thinking about trying to bring the idea to fruition.

    > or so, and without much else (other than what it implies (of course),

    There must be some semblance of a game of
    course, but minimal.

    He doesn't want to discover hot water, so he asks if anything like
    this already exists. If it doesn't, and there is sufficient interest,
    he may be willing to create it all from scratch.

    "Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."

    I think vogonpoet was referring to the poll itself. "Opinion? Yes, No, Maybe?" Does he mean to ask if I have an opinion?

    Doh, this seems to have backfired... yeah I just meant the poll:

    Title: Hardly the rules for ADOM
    Question: Opinion?
    Options: Yes, No, Maybe!

    Really, what am I to make of that?

    And the English motherfucker thing is just a stupid random internet meme usually attached to a screen cap taken from pulp fiction whenever something lacking overall comprehension is posted on a message board. It is not generally used as an attack on the language abilities of the poster, but rather an attack on a particular post where something seems missing, such as the poll attached to this thread. Sadly I am too lazy to even hotlink images, let alone host them somewhere useful, so I just hoped the quote would be enough to express my opinion that the poll is kinda vague.

    Whatever.

    Next time I will just vote Maybe! and keep my mouth shut.
