    Comp 160

    ... is tentatively up. It's an Oangband Ent Priest. If you have any changes you'd like to see made to the savefile before it starts in < 24h, let me know and I'll probably ignore you. I mean, erm...

    I object on the grounds that I'm busy restructuring V but I really want to play this
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

      V is like a billion years old. A 3 week delay isn't going to make much of a difference in the long term Plus, it'll only take a few hours or so to die probably.

        I've made some changes to the savefile (better Wis, worse fighting stats) based on some feedback.

            [I'm a little embarassed to be asking this but...]

            Is it just me, or do white lice seem to do a surprising amount of damage in this variant?

              Bullroarer the Hobbit touches you.
              Your holy book of Prayers [Novice Handbook] was stolen!

              Well this guy's off to a good start.

                It isn't you, and it isn't just white lice.

                  Ent talent -- digging

                  Hey, in case it might be useful for anyone, Ents can dig out at least Magma walls using bare hands (but not--at Strength 15--while weilding a weapon.) Pretty easy to grab AU that way.

                  All that gold is specifically useful for identifying stuff.

                    I think I'm out - all these early deaths are beginning to get to me!
                    This variant really is tough.

                      Is this variant so hard, not one winner until now?

                        This is apparently quite common for Oangband.

                          Blame it on me for choosing Oangband for Compo 160. The other option, Sangband, is not any easier , imo.
                          My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:
                          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwAR0WOphUA

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

                            Congrats to hjklyubn for winning Comp 160!!! oangband is a viciously hard variant, and a heck of a game to win your first competition on.

                            To the rest of you who lost: you are weak. Do not return. Oangband cares naught about your frailties and mistakes.

                              Don't worry, after the last month, I won't.
