    Reminder of important rules:
    * give a post describing all of your activities after your round, including important info like using up prayers, items found and monsters encountered (and where they were last seen) that could affect future players
    * no competitive hindering tactics allowed during the first 2 rounds - your play will be judged harshly, so be careful
    * any and all competitive and dirty tactics allowed on round 3 or after, though you must still report your activities in full
    * lastly, have fun - this game relies mostly on luck, with a little bit of skill; try to enjoy it and don't take things too seriously

    These rules are not strictly enforced - they mostly rely on faith in the player, just as we have faith that people posting YAVPs haven't save-scummed. If you break the rules in any way and then lie about it, then the only loser is you.


    SPECIAL SERVER RULES - READ CAREFULLY!

    DO NOT log onto the server on the league account if it is not your turn. If you wish to spectate then log on as spectator/spectator. You can also chat about the games on IRC by visiting #ancardia on ancardia.ath.cx (lots of people are usually there spectating games).
    DO NOT change any configuration files on the server - the defaults will be used for everyone.

    When it is your turn you must follow this procedure exactly:

    1. Announce on the forum that you're about to play, so people will know to spectate. Popping on to IRC is nice too.

    2. Log on to the server and load the save game - make sure it's your turn and it's the correct save game. RENAME the PC to your name here on the forums. This is so spectators can know who is playing and for the high score listing.

    3. Play your turn normally. At the end you should a log file - press ')' to do so and it'll appear in the league directory.

    4. Save the game at the end of your turns. The server will automatically make a back-up of your save in case you die - you don't need to worry about that.

    5. If you die then *do not create a flg* - it contains hidden information about the char that others shouldn't know.

    Remember to join in on IRC (#ancardia on ancardia.ath.cx:6667) for added fun and discussion! Don't come on the channel during your turn though, so as to prevent too much advice. Others will be quite willing to give you logs of the channel's criticism though. If you want to watch replays of previous games then log in to the server as ttyrecplay/ttyrecplay.


    Restoring saves: A league admin will need to restore the save game if someone dies. Request that either here, in the Discussion thread, or on the IRC channel and hopefully it'll get done quicky.

    Non-server players: You can find the save games from the server here if no one has posted the save to the forums.

    The Arena Grandmaster mutters quietly as he looks over the crimson-stained floor of the arena. "Blood, blood - so much blood, yet so little meat left from them! We shall need a much tougher vessels for these plebians so survive in... Althea!"

    The ground shakes heavily as a large creature marches forward. A huge, thickset troll appears, wearing heavily applied red lipstick and a nurse's uniform sewn from light furs. The sloping brow and huge heavy club make you wonder just what sort of unconventional medicine this beast applies...

    "This shall be a most worthy vessel for the Arena of Death! A creature that can take all manner of beatings and give them back threefold! Go forth now and bleed all you can, miserable maggots! We shall watch with glee as the weakest links are judged and the strongest pit themselves against the hells and horrors of the depths of infinity. Let the games begin!"

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Name: Althea              Race: female Troll        Class: Healer
    Eye color: black          Hair color: white         Complexion: tanned
    Height: 8'3"              Weight: 427 pounds
    Age: 17 (grown-up)
    Star sign: Falcon         Birthday: 22/Falcon (day 232 of the year)
    
    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your parents are travelling adventurers. Both are competent,
     talented and doing very well.
            During your childhood one of your uncles taught you a lot of things
     about the history of your people. Your vast knowledge on the legends and
     the lore of your people made you very popular with your friends because of
     all the exciting stories you knew.
            In your youth you worked a lot to become rich and famous later.
     Consequently you rarely had enough time to play with other kids of your
     age.
            Your young adulthood was characterized by hard and long work. You
     had decided to study under a renowned master. To your great disappointment
     you had to find out, that he was a hard, unjust and tyrannic man,
     embittered by his old age. Your apprentice years were quite terrible.
            You decided to become a Healer.

    1905 Opened tension room, nothing dangerous, but beware werewolf. Displacer beast hard to hit.

    1990 Killed werewolf (it has hight to-hit). Gained level.

    Alltogether:
    We have shitty to-hit and DV.
    Good PV, HP.
    Twohanded weapons level 4.
    Skills gained: 4x Find weakness, 3x Food preservation, 2x Athletics, 2x Alertness, 2x Healing, First aid, Concetration.
    Talents: Quick, Good shot.

    There's too small amount of arrows, maybe throwing clubs and rocks will be found.
    Situation is clear, AFAIK there are still some plain monsters on the right (I haven't seen all of them though.)
    There's no problem with food as for now.

    Heh, no problem with food at all... Levelling fast too! And up to 109 HP already. Might be a while before we see deaths in this league.

    I'll get the save file uploaded to the server for you, JellySlayer.

    As far as talent prerequisites go, is it the base value that matters, or the modified value? Maybe we can figure out a workaround if we find some gloves of dexterity or something. Otherwise, we can probably buff up our dex (and speed) by breeding claw bugs, although it will hurt our Wi a bit. I think losing Wi is probably preferably to losing To, myself. We've got till level 9 to figure it out, anyway.

    Remember that just because we're stupendously strong doesn't mean we should be doing too much diving. One or two levels at a time is plenty.

    I probably won't be able to play for several hours yet.

    2009: Starting out. Decided true berserking was probably a pretty reasonable way to play, so I took off our armor for now.
    2044: Ran into a mimic. Hit, paralysed, dead. That was fun, lol.

    That was impressive oh, son of Darkness... impressive stupidity....
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)
