Comp 199 is up. It's a Sil 1.3.0 Christmas competition.

It's a short one, so get a move on!

I don't see where this comp says it is ironman! That just caught me out as I tried to go upstairs!

Surprise! Merry Christmas

There really should be something that forces there to be a path between up and downstairs - particularly for ironman. The level I am on has a chasm between the upstairs and where the downstairs must be. I have explored the whole level available to me and therefore could not generate xp for leaping even if I wanted to. I don't like skipping levels in ironman but going to have to jump down the chasm.

The even worse possibility would be falling down a chasm in to a room with all secret doors on a low perception character.

Yeah, ironman + chasms is kinda nasty.

You say that like it is a bad thing!

Roguelikes are supposed to be nasty.

I don't mean nasty as in 'difficult', I mean nasty as in 'i don't think we thought about this much when we added the feature.'

Congrats to wobbly for taking this minicomp with style, and to Psi and letslaugh for rounding out the top 3.
