You have a way of showing things in a hilarious light.
A few points:
I think there was 1 comment somewhere dissing reddit ? You make it seem like theres some war going on here.
As for molds and bats, the LotR had Bill Ferny and neekerbreekers for starting encounters. I see nothing wrong there. You see, we arent really playing Angband. We are actually playing Moria II with the powercreep incursion that sequels are wont to have.
"The game is fine as is" is a strange statement considering all the substantial changes Nick has made since he became maintainer. In fact, there are people who mourn the loss of a maintained vanilla Angband tradition and call his game a variant, and they have a point.
Now maybe changing the first 10 levels would be a good idea and maybe not, but is this really such a big deal ? If the suggestion to do such is met with conservative caution for this very old game, that clearly is reason for a satiric dismissal with, hopefully pretent, finality.
