I'll sign up.  I've got one offline and one online win, plus several characters with multiple runes which died for various reasons, so I guess that'd put me in the Axedwarves seeing as the Blacksmiths are full.

I'm Kamina on CAO.

Somehow SpEn doesn't feel like godmode anymore in 0.8. Have I just forgotten how to play it, or are there new 'easy-mode' combos in the new version? DDNe still works like a Dispel Undead to a player ghost's hollow face, at least.

[Sablis]

Well, the 0.8 SpEn is hurt a lot by the Enchantments split (they have to invest in both Charms and Hexes -- no more dumping exp in Enchantments and calling it a day).

In 0.9 they got hurt by the hp and fighting nerf (no more ridiculous hp from fighting).
However, the new skill system allows spriggans to put xp into Spellcasting without victory dancing, so you'll probably have less food problems.

For IRC, let's set up camp in #b12crawl on Freenode.

For online play, I recommend downloading Putty and following the directions. But then, I can't abide tiles. And no, I don't think there is any point in playing online until the tournament, unless you think you can get some impressive scores and want to show your stuff pre-tourney.

I'm on the IRC right now, but I'm the only person there besides Taxus at the moment. I suppose there's actually not much to talk about right now, but we could use some more people in the IRC.

Don't forget the Haste nerf.  And the biggest new problem for SpEn's is the new orb and orb chamber layouts (if you're teleporting).  If you use Shadow Creatures it's not much of a problem.

I'd say the new skill system offsets the Enchantments split.  You just need to put your experience in the right places.

drawing the sage and killing an ogre with a level 3 spriggan rod user also offsets most earlygame problems...

[abculatter_2]

I have never played this game before.

Can I join?

[Juraz]

Sign me up with the Engravers. I've gotten runes once or twice but they're from times I got sent to the Abyss and was running around trying to get out, make it to the lair pretty often and have been beyond it on a few runs but I haven't played for awhile.

[Will Alvein]

I'd like to join this year, last time I had quite some fun even though our team didn't do particularly well.
I guess I'm intermediate, since I have cleared the lair and the mines but never got any runes ;(

[Taxus]

Welcome back Will, and welcome the rest of y'alls. Engravers are now complete! I've added another intermediate team, the Woodcutters. The tournament starts tomorrow, so let's think about finalizing the teams. We can still shuffle them till the 21st if we need to.

I know some people were were talking about playing CDO and not CAO, so I wanted to post this from the tourney info page:

For emphasis: clan membership lines should be added to your crawl.akrasiac.org 0.9 rcfile. Even if you're playing your games on crawl.develz.org, you must add clan membership information to your crawl.akrasiac.org 0.9 rcfile.

And lastly, come join us at #b12crawl on Freenode if you want to chat about Crawling.

[EmperorNuthulu]

If I can I'd like to join, the furthest I've got is dungeon level 5 and i've been playing for two days so put me on peasants. Also, where's the rcfile for crawl?

Which tells us who haven't been in a Crawl tournament before nothing? What do we need to do to get ready and how do we do it?

Also I think I'm on the right irc server, noone seems to be talking...

It's the "edit options" menu option.

Yes, you can.  You'll need to create an account on crawl.akrasiac.org  Then post your username here.
