    Default Carbon Fibre Question

    I've started up a Carbon Fibre Man game (and it's going surprisingly well), but there's something I'd like to get some advice on. CFM does not allow you to carry more than 100s at any one time. Does it allow you to eat items >100s off the ground? So if I come across a 120s blink dog corpse, can I eat it without picking it up?

    So far I've been avoiding such situations, but, well, it's a blink dog corpse and there's a book of teleport in a nearby book store

    As items on the ground do not spend any time in the player's inventory, it should be allowed per the letter of the rules. I think some of the even more ancient users around here must've been around when the original Carbon Fiber Man was conceived way back...

    My interpretation of the rules allows it.

    Two questions:
    1)where do you drop your starting equipment?
    2)you have to schlep the orbs one at a time down to D:48?

    It's just occurred to me that the bookstore is actually less useful than I had thought... I can't hold a book and enough money to buy it at the same time Guess I'll have to rob it later.

    [edit]I entered the wilderness square that I started on and ditched all of my gear right away.

    Yes, you need to lug all of the orbs down one at a time. Difficulty is greatly increased by the fact that you can't get the RoTHK (climbing set is 180s).

    i think it is okay. Although that kills all the fun of passing EG. [I would recommend just kill him while standing on stairs anyway]
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)

    I assumed that since it was a book of teleport it practically robbed itself.

    I've been playing a lot longer than Carbon Fiber Man has been around. As far as I know Malte Helmert is the only person to have completed it, once. It is also his conception.

    Precisely! Do you know how he handled this?

    I was thinking if you werent too worried about time constraints you could kick all of the orbs to the step, then take one at a time down. Then again..it might be faster to just run them all one at a time.
