Competition 105

[Nick]

Player ghosts are stored in the bone folder, right? Is it OK (in comp play) to delete the ones related to dead competition characters so I don't have to keep ducking the ever increasing Tinker Bell Skeletal Army.

Fine by me. It's an uneven thing anyway - I have a zillion bone files because of playing O a lot; new players will only have the standard ones.

I'm kind of surprised that DOS350 hasn't responded to my allegations in this thread already. He appears to just be yelling at phantoms...oh, well.

I accused him of savescumming because he largely seemed to be playing like I did back when I was 12 years old, which certainly included savescumming, stairscumming, townscumming, pretty much anything else the computer would let you do that could get you an advantage in-game. Hell, I used to rerun ZAngband's fixed quests over and over again, since they had lots of low-danger high-reward layouts. If he's not savescumming, well, good for him, but he wouldn't have reaped that particular accusation if he'd given more detail about why he found autosave annoying in the first place. Explaining why you don't like something is a good thing.

You have to play, to win. Certainly you've amassed an army of pro leet Tinker's by now. What's the hold up?

[LostTemplar]

Oangband is somewhat nontrivial even with connected stairs.

I really hate the identify in this game...I am so glad vanilla fixed that whole nonsense. Other than that, I'm quite enjoying the challenging aspect of this comp.

[dos350]

i hav been brutalized a couple of times...

i hav issue with oangband?

why is detect treasure not showing me objects??

why is there no item list available???

if these were not problems, surely this would be a great game!

[Nick]

why is detect treasure not showing me objects??

Combining detection of objects and gold happened fairly recently in Vanilla - O still has the old behaviour.

why is there no item list available???

That is new since this version of O was released too. The Vanilla developers have made quite a lot of good changes recently

Psst... Don't tell dos that, he'll have a fit.

[dos350]

excuse me, but changes like that are acceptable, terrible changes that actualy ruin the game arent..

any change just giving info etc, is obv good,

one that changes gameplay is probably not, please no rage~

Back on-topic..

..my Tinker is still alive, but encountering more and more enemies - usually uniques - who resist all elements, and are hence almost impossible to hurt. My guess is that if I find a deeper spell book this may solve the issue, but for now it is taking a lot of cowardice - ah, 'self-control' - to opt for Teleport Other as often as she is needing to .

I killed Bill Ferney on the opening screen in like, 40,000 player turns by buying a cutlass and holding the button down for a *really* long time on him, plus some flasks of oil and magic missiles at the end. I got a pair of leather boots [1, +1]

Is that worth one of the tiny stuffed animal prizes?

If you want to win the comp? No. Whenever you meet him he's too hard of doesn't have a good enought drop. If you want to have a chance for extra starting money(daggers) and don't care about the comp you might as well kill him.
