    Competition 62

    Competition 62 is now available from the competition page. It is a V3.0.9b Dwarf Warrior with a slight starting advantage. The competition will run for 3 weeks, and I'm expecting some winners.

    Is it intentional for connected stairs to be on for this character? I thought that it was generally agreed that this was not a good thing... the character doesn't need any help with that "slight" starting advantage!

        That's some birthday present! I'm going to Belegost next Christmas if that's what the gifts are like...

            Will there be a record of the old competitions available somewhere? I mean, you can still access the comp #61 ladder (http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-browse.php?compo=61) but it would be nice to be able to browse back and see the starting criteria too.

              My guess is yes, but only one person knows for sure...

                I've got a nasty feeling that the winner of this comp is going to start by selling It and buying some stuff (+9 bow, _Tele, etc etc)

                  Well, that's a valid choice. My guess is that someone who sticks with the PDSM will find it pays off later ... and I think FA, SI and speed will most likely be the critical things.

                      From the desk off the complainer... RE: minor annoyances.

                      On the competition page...
                      Clicking on the save file, opens it, doesn't download it, must right click, save as.
                      The link to Angband isn't click-able, must be copied and pasted.
                      There's no mask32.bmp included with the Angband download.
                      Merry Christmas to all...

                          Clicking the savefile opens the download dialog for me.

                          Link to angband download is now fixed - my mistake.

                            On my mac (safari browser) savefiles have always opened in the browser - I've gotten used to option-click to download. It downloaded fine in firefox, so it seems to be a browser-specific problem/feature.
