Just wanted to point out quinnr's announcement of the Junethack Tournament tournament and his DF clan:

Why, thanks for posting this here! Are you planning on playing, too?

I'm getting a lot better at Nethack lately, two games where I got both the Soko and Mines' End prizes in a row. So close to getting another ascension, I can taste it!

If I get time in between fixing bugs in Junethack, yes, I'll try some trophies :-)

[ollobrains]

the game is looking good

Yeah, it's one of my favorites! If you are ever playing online let me know and I can watch you and maybe give a few tips.

Bottom of the causes of death list:

15678   1     0.000     killed by a water demon called RRRR I'M AN ASSHOLE ENJOY DYING

I never really used the entity naming functions, maybe I should.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Help. I have an invisible wood nymph running around and I can't see invisible. You can probably guess the details from there, but my current inventory:


^{*Note: This was all picked up after the wood nymph stole all my shit}


I am incredibly lucky that none of the shit I'm using was cursed, because the seven holy waters were in my bag of holding. If I could know when it was coming, I could strip naked and drop everything then punch it to death, but the last time I tried that I got down to single-digit health because of fire ants (I have firs resistance, but they still hurt when you can't kill them quickly) before the nymph showed up. I have intrinsic telepathy, which worked great when I fell afoul of a yellow light, but no other source of blindness.

Please advise.

EDIT: FUCK SHIT ASS BALLS. There's a cockatrice on the level. It's also a new moon, and my only lizard corpse is in my (now the nymph's) BoH. I can't even wait for the nymph to find me or I'll die horribly. All my new stuff is either stolen or on the floor next to the boulder, and the cockatrice is between me and it. Evacuating to the previous floor, and praying I can take on the yeti there in hand-to-hand combat. HELP.

WHY DID THIS GAME GIVE A NYMPH A POTION OF INVISIBILITY?

[Putnam]

What's with that elven dagger?

Anyway, suddenly addicted to this game

@Urist Imiknorris:

"WHY DID THIS GAME GIVE A NYMPH A POTION OF INVISIBILITY?"

Because you are cursed by the Random Number God.

Why did she curse you?

Because of the name you've chosen.

[Smashness]

I love how the dev team thinks of everything. For example: if you wear an amulet of strangulation, you choke to death. If you have the Unbreathing intrinsic (you don't have to breathe, obviously), you're safe, right? NOPE. The amulet cuts blood flow to your brain and you still DIE.

[lemon10]

I think that you could use elbereth to stop the cockatrice from attacking you (and pray if you start to stone). As for the nymh, the best course of action would probably be attacking it until you kill it as annoying and as much of a pain in the ass that it is, thats pretty much all you can do (well, you could go downstairs and keep going till you get good stuff and a source of blinding, but I don't think that is a very good course of action really).
EDIT: 99.99% sure that elbereth works on cockatrices, but you might want to confirm it on a wiki first.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Yeah, that was a couple months ago. And I forgot about Elbereth at the time, so death by cockatrice resulted.

Just be sure to always carry a newt corpse on hand for just such an emergency.

[lemon10]

Derp.
CURSE YOU FOR TRICKING ME THREAD BUMPERS.

The Nymph stole his.

Er, lizard, not newt. Newt corpses sometimes increase your max MP (you feel a mild buzz).

There goes my memory of the game again. It really has been too long.
