So here's a question that's bugged me for quite some time.

Is there anyone in this forum that had actually finished this game unspoiled?

There are SO many things that seem almost impossible to figure out without looking it up or having someone tell you what to do. So many things that can kill you. So many ways to improve your character. So how are you supposed to figure all that out by yourself? Fortune cookies? Could it be that fortune cookies are the most important items for unspoiled players?

Once in a while a player starts a post about constantly dying, getting stuck, not knowing what to do next, wondering how to survive. Doing so many things wrong. Not wanting to be spoiled in any way. So we give him tips, do this, don't do that, go here, don't go there. In other words: we're spoiling him.

Now I'm not big genius but I'm not particularly dumb either, and seeing how bloody long it took ME to score my first ADOM-win, and I was spoiled to the bone... It boggles my mind to think that ANYONE could EVER achieve that completely unspoiled.

So, any big masterminds out there that HAVE done it unspoiled?
