Towards an eco-friendly 3.1

[The Sparrow]

I would imagine that Morgoth's armies of orcs and such aren't terribly friendly to the environment, so really killing a few of the "local fauna" is quite justifiable, if it will help you defeat him...

I nearly put an addendum forgiving the killing of orcs and evil people and dragons. I was thinking about the wolves and wild cats and mumiaks and bears and such.

You have a contract with Farmer Maggot to protect his crops from vermin. Slaying of non-evil creatures is simply pest-control.

So, we're allowed to kill everyone but Farmer Maggot?

@ doesn't care about being allowed to do something.

The thing that puzzles me is where the wood comes from in the first place, given that the universe consists of a dungeon and a town surrounded by impenetrable walls.

Imported from variants with forests, of course.

About the torches, two slots for torches annoys me to end (in variants, actually, but now it's moved to V). I'd propose something along these lines: 3000 is the full capacity of a torch, any torch in the starting equipment has 2000 charges, light radius diminishes at 1000. Since 1000 + 2000 = 3000, we live in a perfect world. (The absolute numbers are just for illustration.)

Indeed this was my point from the beginning. It just seemed too pedantic to say with a straight face... hence the circumlocution.

Don't be ashamed to confess about being a pedantic perfectionist --- you are among Angbanders, after all. The non-perfectionists among us have long ago finished the game and moved on and we are still busy collecting our perfect set of mushrooms...

And make sure you recycle those potion bottles as well! Seriously though, the remains of a thousand torches litter the ground behind me. Maybe we should put limitations on Dragon Breath attacks? Can't use their breath more than once a day perhaps, for fear of burning whole forests?
