159. Starting out on an isladn too far to swim anywhere else and populated by frogmen who want you dead sucks.
160. Being a dwarven warrior who has to live off crab blood, brook water, and crab meat because you're trapped on aformentioned island doublesucks.

Give me that save, now. Please?

Sorry man. Got killed when I managed to power through and swim to the mainland. Got mauled by a salt water corodile in my sleep (I was too far from a town so I chanced it.)

163. Kobolds are tiny, but they can still rip every limb from you body, then kill you.

164. Just because it seems easy to hit does not always make it an effective thing to strike.  Sure you can hit that giraffe's neck, but it's neck is as thick as a volkswagon.  You aren't going to sever it anytime soon.

165. Giraffes are big.

166. Giraffes have hooves.

167. Things with wings can shape you into a pretzel with those wings if you piss them off.

168. Swimming in the sewer is a bad idea.  Swimming into a tunnel with no open space above it in a sewer is a worse idea.

#169 You can use absolutely every single thing in the game as a weapon, including different parts of your own limbs and your teeth, miscellaneous items, corpses, anything. Your enemies can only use the weapons they came with and their bodies as a weapon. So one-on-one, you have a slight advantage due to throwing stuff at them (anything, absolutely anything can be lethal). It is difficult to use this advantage well.

#170. The only time that you have more of you in a battle then they have of them is when there is no-one else there. This is the only time that the advantage from #169 can be reliably used for survival. At all other times, even one-on-one, the enemies have the advantage. They also don't mind dying (although everyone else minds if you kill them).

171. Don't ever let your guard down. It may seem like an obvious thing, considering how much Fun the game is, but really, never. I had just scared a herd of hippos into a river, where they were slaughtered by fish instantaneously. I walked down the river bank laughing, at too quick a pace, and didn't realize a bunch of crocodiles came up right behind me. Finally noticed them when I got announcements of my companion dieing. Made me stop laughing :-\

edit: wrong tense.

I learned it's hard to fight and maneuver effectively when you have a dingo hanging off every limb. :(

172: When moving through evil mountains, don't just hold the walk key down.  You'll be in the middle of a vile mist cloud before you even know it's there.

173: Kobold caves can have upwards of 200 kobolds in them.  Half of those are at the bottom, and all of them will see you and rush you if you screw up.

174: !!Companions!! are not your friends.  Run the hell away from them.

175: Some worlds have dozens of towers housing illiterate necromancers who all learned the secret from one guy.  Sometimes this guy will have lost the slab he learned the secret from.  But hey, at least you got good practice in your weapon skills.

Diso Faintpuzzles was born in 120.  Although accounts vary it is universally agreed that Diso was chosen by fate as the vanguard of destiny.

In the early spring of 143 Diso began wandering the wilds.

In the early spring of 143 Diso starved to death in the Horn of Striking.

178. Get a morning star.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

179. Get a warhammer made of silver, back it up with an iron, bronze, or steel bladed implement.

180. If all your dwarves died horribly and in a miserable state, and weren't buried, then stay the hell away from the ruins of that fort. The ghosts will get you.
