    Is there any interest in a Vanilla competition with a poorly matched race and class? Not sure what I would suggest.

    Dwarf/Necro? Ugh, Necromancer is terrible grind for 3/4 of the game regardless of race. Zero winners on the ladder for this combo. Maybe something more fun though...

    Half-Troll/Anything? Not much of a stretch here - I think a Half-Troll is a decent race for any class, even the Int based casters like rogue and mage are very doable. And its always fun to just bash things at the start of game.

    Half-Orc/Mage?

    Gnome/Warrior?

      Half-Troll Paladin or Half-Troll Blackguard

      (These are very random combos, but definitely should be interesting)
      My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:

      If I'm offline I'm probably in the middle of maintaining Gentoo or something-Linux or other.

        Half-troll paladin is a pretty strong combo.

        How about kobold druid? Seems a fun combo

            Starting file and randart set, also a lance +0 given at start, also hobbit is only allowed to wield lances.

              Yes! Burden is fun. ish. Not! Maybe? It'll be a great pain the all pack-rats out there (including me) so maybe know all runes from start to compensate somewhat?

                Not sure hobbit paladin starts with enough str to wield a lance, might be heavy wield

                  It is. Doesnt mean you cant kill stuff with it though.

                      Now that Composband 7.1.3 has been released, make the next compo Composband related

                        To be perfectly fair I don't mind if we choose something else while there's no windows build.

                          I can build for windows if its not in the next few days and I'm allowed to be lazy about it.

                            So here's a plan:
                            1. You put up a Compsband comp (you should still have access to the competition page, I assume) whenever you're ready;
                            2. While that's running, I'll get V4.2.4 out and we can have a comp for that next.
                            One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
                            In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

                              Here's a counter-offer;

                              I'm going away soon for a few weeks, and I want to wait for wobbly to make a windows build without rushing him; so I'll set up a hengband competition in the meantime and we'll pick the next competition based on whether we we have a windows build for composband or an angband release.

                                Nice try Nick, but Gwarl is a slippery fellow.
