24 hour Angband challenge

[Nick]

OK, it's actually properly up now, I think it's correct - let me know if not. The time is set to 1pm Saturday which is probably actually 11am UTC because of daylight savings in Prague but whatever, I think it's close enough.

And randarts are off ??
Oh well, have fun everyone.

That can be changed. Would people prefer randarts?

[Estie]

Well...everything is pickable by the player except the only thing I actually care about. On top of that, I maintain that randarts are _not_ an advantage for a competition, for various reasons. I might be wrong about that...but clearly it is not the most unbalancing option.

So, why not leave it to the player to pick stand- or randarts ?

Fine, done.

Randart lamps are generally stronger and there's more chance of finding things like +2 moves, or rings that add acid branding or +2 attacks.

On the flip side, in the early game it is less reliable finding a usable weapon - something like the thanc series.

Swings and roundabouts.

Are we disabling selling to shops, and can we know runes/flavours on birth?

Selling is personal choice, but no to knowing runes/flavours.

[Nick]

Reminder, this starts in three hours (and six minutes).

[Selkie]

Ok, thanks Nick I'm ready for this even if I'm doing it alone (which is my normal Angband experience anyway)

Just need to decide whether I go ranger or mage...

[Selkie]

Well, mage it is. I'm off. Here's to 24 hours of my life I'll never get back. I'm well stocked with a bottle of Captain Morgan's, a fresh pack of darts and two bags of Kettle Crisps.

I have posted dumps from .live before...but somehow it doesnt work now:

I click on the .txt file on live, it opens a browser tab with the dump, I copy/paste it to notepad, but when i try to submit it doesnt recognize it as a char dump.

Try just saving it straight from the browser (ctrl-s, usually) - that works for me.

[Estie]

That worked...thanks Nick!

[Selkie]

My HE mage is at clv19.

Dungeon level 13, LF: 9-8

It was an insect pit full of easy XP.

I found a randart pair of boots with +4 speed with poison, nexus resistance and a Star with +4 intelligence and +3 light, more poison resistance and activates magic mapping.

The next hour is going to be a breeze... my SP went from 34 to 67 the moment I picked up the Star of Adran.

Neither chrome nor Edge can open angband.live correctly on android phones, alas. I cant actually see the games, just the news page.
