    So how is everybody?

    I just wanted to say a big thank you to all those folks giving such good bug reports and feedback on the dev versions - the momentum seems really good. We'll have 3.3 out any year now.

    Now I'm off to write some more stats code for better balancing of ego DSMs ...

    It's fitting that this post is totally gratuitous (hi Nick!).

    Wow, that is one goddamn close race there. Who gets 2700? Who gets 2800? Who gets 3000? About (V)angband, I can just say, keep on forwards with the harder game changes. If you think something is overpowered, make it weaker, if you see anything underpowered, make everything except it weaker(That is my favourite way of tweaking underpowered stuff, because it rewinds the "arms race" as PowerDiver puts it. The overpower stuff is kinda obvious. I have to try an O priest sometime again.). If you don't know how, look to one of the variant's, like NPP or O, or S and such.

            And we have a winner!!!
            EDIT: Magnate still wins on posts/day, although the title for that AFAIK is DERAKON with 4.37. For comparison, Magnate has 1.84 and Nick 1.81. PowerDiver is at 2.13. IF anyone has a legitimate complaint, please register it now.

                Hilarious. That's presumably a simply calculation of days since registration? If you have that much time on your hands, what you really need to calculate is posts per posting day ;-)

                    There is a statistic in user panel. Mine says 1.03 posts / day, but I have 1500+ posts in just four years (with almost all of them in about last two years), so it should show about 4.2 if that is how it calculates things.

                      Here's a scary calculation:

                      2700 posts * 3 min/post = 135 hours.

                      I thought I was doing pretty well chugging along at 0.35 posts per day.

                        Huzzah to both of you! In reality, 3000 is the new 2700...

                          Point one zero posts per day. Sad, considering I'm at this website at least once a day.

                            I like playing Angband, and if I can help the game become more what I want then all the better :-)

                            Now that you devs are working so hard you can stop calling it 'dev versions' and start calling it nightlies again ;-)

                            What levels are there here on the forum? And how many posts are required to achieve them? I see there are some custom levels, but for us ordinary people...

                              I wanted to give this line the appreciation it deserves.
