precrowning in steam beta

[fmlrommel]

so i started a hurthling bard, no artifacts generated yet, level 11, almost 12, found an altar in puppy cave. sac'd monsters til *deity* favors me. but when i pray nothing happens. (i have no idea as to my current alignment, because the game will not show it to me even in the old ASCII mode) i assumed i must be extreme alignment, so i lured tywat out and killed him, got ammy. this must has sent me into neutral because i had to sac a bunch more to get back to *favors you* used the ammy for a bit, but to no effect.

*edit* when i pray, i only get your prayer remains unheard.

i did the same thing on a previous character, except i killed holtzy instead and with only a few turns with the ammy on i was pre crowned. any advice here? trying to think if i left anything out..... i am 100% sure no artifacts have been created.

do i just need to be level 12? that is what im gunna work on i guess for lack of better options.

thanks!
