Next competition

[getter77]

What about any Yeekband competitions? Rare is the variant that is actually, mostly "done" while also being "mostly done" as far as what it set out to be and do. Few new classes and races into an odd mix of an Angband frozen in time and prodded with a stick and all. The downloads still work too I think...

Has there been a hall of mist comp yet? I keep meaning to try it out again, though I remember dying quite quickly last I tried.

Only one back in 2012.

I've been getting back into FA over the last couple of days because it's been a while since the last FAangband comp...

[debo]

I'm thinking Steamband or Sangband for the next comp. Other suggestions? Ideas for builds? I played Steamband a bit but it's another variant where I'm not sure which things are totally busted or not. Sangband usually makes me want to hurl my computer across the room, but people seem to like it.

Does anyone have any experience with xangband? Someone just uploaded a dump a few days ago and before that I had literally never heard of it before. Might be an interesting option for next comp!

Its interface is similar to ZAngband with monsters from Tolkien-lore and Japanese stuff.

Suggestion - Any race + Snatcher. And then we can compare with PosChengband's Possessor

I honestly was volunteering to help with it if I could

I actually don't know if you can. When I go to the tab I am able to add and edit downloads and releases, but maybe that's because I'm special

[soyaki]

Happy now?

I honestly was volunteering to help with it if I could, but thank you. The variants page is a pretty valuable resource!

[Nick]

FWIW, this might be a chance to update the variant page here on oook to indicate latest info on Sil? (If I knew how would do it myself, etc.)

This is the tentative plan for comp 158. Questions? Objections?

I, for one, am going to forge a horn of blasting at the earliest opportunity and blast downwards to 1000' as soon as elvishly possible. Eventually the RNG will net me a win!!

I hear that's what the Sil TAS does

Although it will likely turn out to be a singer speedrun contest.

I second this. Debo to follow with comment.

In the event that two players win with the same turncount, I will leave you guys to figure out the tiebreaking scheme while I run off to buy several lottery tickets.

[HugoVirtuoso]

Tell you what: use extra Sils/Morgoth kills as a tiebreaker if two players have the same turncount.
