What've you been doing instead Rickvoid?

[Sowelu]

My guess is he's been playing Incursion.

[kcwong]

So wait Kc, you're telling me that to get shock resistance you had to seek out and kill a blue dragon? You didn't encounter any black/brown puddings, any storm giants, any flesh golems, OR any gelatinous cubes beforehand, or atleast enough to get shock resistance before going toe-to-toe with a blue dragon?

and you somehow couldn't find enough Elves, homunculi, or Gelatinous cubes to get sleep resistance?

Storm giant is a rare sight before castle (as I don't level up a lot after 14), the other corpses only have about 10% chance of granting shock resistance while a blue dragon has 100% chance. So yeah, I often get shock resistance off a blue dragon I kill easily because I have reflection.

Wait, so if I play Wizard my chance of ascension goes up %3000?

The community has a term for it: Start Scumming. You keep starting new wizards until you get super starting rings (slow digestion and conflict are top choices), scrolls (identify, magic mapping, charging, etc.) and spellbooks (identify, magic missile).

I don't understand people who start scum though. It's so boring!

Usualy the RNG looks down on start scums. But sometimes you get stuff like tourist with 12 charisma. Thats a pain in the ass...

[JoshuaFH]

I don't understand people who dig for victory either, after trying it myself.

Nor do I understand people who quaff from fountains when they're clearly underprepared to handle the consequences.

Its soooo fun though...

Archiologist can do so from the start.

As a matter of fact, Im going to play a archiologist right now! And Im gonna win!

*Ba-dum Tish*

Acutally, I've been running a lot of Female Dwarven Archeologist's named Urist. I can generally get to Mine-Town and Sokoban now, but whips and picks the best weapons do not make.

And I actually haven't played a game of Incursion in about a month. I think I'm up to a year with Crawl, though. 

[cowofdoom78963]

I dont know what to name my archiologists. What are some good archiology names.

[ToonyMan]

Urist.

[cowofdoom78963]

Too generic, I need something specific. AND COOL.

[ToonyMan]

Odin the Archy

[cowofdoom78963]

Odin? Surely you jest.

Oh well, fine his name will be Odin. NOW ITS TIME TO WIN NETHACK.

[JoshuaFH]

Truth be told, I actually name my characters LOTS of things. I name all my tourists (and there are lots of them, which I never dare speak of) after types of rocks, soil, and other things in the ground. I do this for no reason. I started up another Tourist named "Salt", managed to luck out and find some decent armor to combat the atrocious starting AC.

Will update. Trust me.

[cowofdoom78963]

So uh... "Odin" came down into the first level and found 2 alters. I converted one to lawful, but the other remains chaotic. While this is quite a discovery last time I delt with alter camping I also delt with starvation.

What do you guys have in the form of advice?

Also I was ALMOST killed by a fox while searching, it knocked me down to 1 health before I whiped it and gained a level. That was a close one.
