    Comp 195

    Comp 195 is up. It's a poscheng half-giant no-wilderness berserker.

    This is going to be another short (week-long) comp. I still have to get in touch with pav about scoring, so please be patient if the ladder isn't sorting the way you expect.

    Please make sure your fan speed is the same as everybody else's so that this comp remains fair.

      Stupid question: how do you make a character dump?

        I think you push pipe ('|') on the character screen (can't check just now.) Please use .txt extension, the html dumps don't score properly on the ladder.

            Another stupid question: how do you remove a curse when you cannot use either scrolls or staves and there doesn't seem to be any shop service that does it?

              Just keep trying to remove the cursed item and eventually the curse will be broken. I'm not sure if berserkers can remove permanently cursed items (normal characters can read ?Mundanity).

                Just keep trying to remove the item. Eventually your berserker strength will rip it off.

                    I'll give a shot at some point...too bad it's no-wilderness...
                    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.

                      Fan speed?! What does that refer to? If you mean computer fan speed...I'm afraid that way beyond one's control....

                      I already posted my alive one attempt onto the Compo 195 ladder....you'll notice I accomplished THAT much in 37 minutes from the GAME START. Here's a YouTube video of my initial partaking on Compo 195 (from downloading the Compo 195 savefile to uploading my progress so far (37 min mark upon initial post) with heavy metal music in the background:

                        What absurdity can confuse, cause wounds, curse and summon monsters (and maybe cause hallucinations too) all every round and that isn't detected by telepathy? Oh and at DL29 too... Found one of these somewhere on a level, and after a few rounds wondering what was going on, had to play "Sir Robin" way.

                          Sounds like a Silent Watcher, maybe?

                            Code:
                            [U] It  (Clear 'x')
                            === Num:393  Lev:24  Rar:3  Spd:+0  Hp:847  Ac:80  Exp:400
                            Nobody has ever seen It.
                            It is normally found on dungeon level 24, and moves at normal speed.
                            Killing this evil thief is worth about 3200.00 points for a 1st level
                            character. It reflects bolt spells. It may shriek for help. It is magical,
                            casting spells intelligently which drain mana, terrify, blind, confuse,
                            heal-self, blink-self, teleport to, teleport away, create darkness, create
                            traps, cause amnesia, summon a monster, summon hydras or summon an undead;
                            25% of the time. It has an armor rating of 80 and a life rating of 847. It
                            is invisible. It is cold blooded. It is not detected by telepathy. It
                            resists lightning and fire. It cannot be confused, slept or teleported. It
                            takes a while to see intruders, which it may notice from 250 feet. It may
                            carry up to 3 exceptional objects. It can gaze to blind with damage 8d8,
                            touch to terrify, gaze to lower experience (by 40d6+), and touch to steal
                            items.
                            It's appalling.
