Edited my rc file yesterday but i'm not in the Blacksmith's Clan list yet.

[Aelig]

Is Aelig the proper captain name, or has he not set up the team yet?

Yes it is but I just set it up, it should appear in a couple hours. Don't worry though we have until one week into the tournament to make adjustements to the teams.

[Graven]

It is happening! Soon! My gurgles will blot out the orb! And noone will be able to Zot in the shade!

I'm rather excited, tbh - and yeah, play your strongest (and most popular) combos first, if you care about score, since people tend to win thousands upon thousands of Gargoyles and Minotaurs, but if you start in the first two hours, you'll still get full points (if you win).

Good luck y'all!

Great! I ran through the changelogs and banners and will be ready!

[bulborbish]

It's Happening, begin you beautiful people.

[Graven]

Oh man, I started, but I'm not sure if my character is Tournamentable - is there like, a quick way I can check this in the next hour or so, so I can still catch on to that sweet Gargoyle lead?

[bulborbish]

If it appears in the tournament leaderboards as your current run, then it should be ok.

When did you start the character?

[Graven]

20:02 by my PC's clock.

Hopefully it counts, as I've already found a whip of electrocution and wasted a scroll of acquirement.

Looks like it counts!

edit: Btw I'm "Gravenous" for in-game purporses.

[Drakale]

First death to overpowered troll berserker ghost heh. I think they are even stronger than they used to be, had to dodge another one earlier and he was unkillable. I'll just avoid them completely from now on.

[ZeroGravitas]

no deaths yet, but my first attempt might have ended abruptly in elf:3

edit: whew, read teleport then silence and managed to make it out

[Drakale]

I think I found the sauron's ring, wish i was a halfling now..

Ok so far so good:

Now we get to the part where I need to choose how this guy goes ahead. This is supposed to be a 15-rune win (Okawaru - TSO for weapon bless - GOD EMPEROR ZIN), so my options, as I see them, are:

1. Mace-and-board + Charms
2. Two-hander + Charms
3. Two-hander + Crossbows
4. Two-hander + Crossbows + Charms

I've won every combo of those, but I'm not sure how much experience it would take for me to go option 4. I'll probably get some Evocations along the way, too.

What would you suggest?

[BaronMunchausen]

Shields won't protect you from extended's worst threats, torment and hellfire. So I would bless a great mace and use it through Pan, Hell and Tomb. But eveningstar + resistance buckler is fine for the rest of the game. I wouldn't go for bigger shields unless I found a crazy artifact. I've never used crossbows, so I can't advise you there, but I've heard of people blessing triple crossbows in extended. It would take a huge xp investment though; seems like a Zinnite would be better off putting that xp into invocations. Just my $0.02

[ZeroGravitas]

Found some boots of the assassin. Did they ever change cleaving with stabbing?

and ugh, 3 runes, and almost no rf+ in the entire game. 5 plate armors with rc+, of course. no fire dragon hide drops,

edit: wait

You finish putting on the +2 hat of Zyureq {*Drain rF+++ Regen+ MP+9}.

ok i guess thatll do it

edit: now the game is just trolling me

M - the amulet of Bikiet {+Rage rPois rF+++ Str+2 Int-4}

(too bad my int is too low to safely wear it)

[AlStar]

Is it too late to join one of the teams?

I'd like to consider myself a decent player, but haven't actually won since 12.1 - http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/players/alstar.html

Should have plenty of play time during the weekend... no idea during the week.
