The Six Summits of Angband

[PowerWyrm]

What happens when you brand ammo in ego-less play? Saw Tenser's in your inventory.

You get ego ammo that you instantly throw away...

[PowerWyrm]

Now, Eddie's the only one to have done an *ironman* artifactless egoless mage. I'm crazy enough to try it, but not good enough to pull it off.

I'm doing a bookless egoless mage, but no way I'm gonna add ironman to that. I've already spent 50k turns to reach 1000ft, I don't want to spend the next 500k turns farming black oozes for basic stuff...

Farmed for WHAT basic stuff? All you will get is Ring of res fire/cold and amulet of res lightning.

Food, light, other basic consumables that you would normally buy at the stores.

I assume Pete meant with the hacks bron inserted to prevent generation of ego items. And my guess is, the spell would work just fine, since it forcibly applies egos to items instead of going through the modified item generation routine.

But yeah, you wouldn't be able to use the ammo without violating the conduct.

[PowerWyrm]

You start to hate your egoless challenge when the first cloak you come across has (??) on it, and a scroll of identify used on it tells you that "you have learned the rune of Telepathy"...

1. Win with each class.
2. Win with each race.
3. Win with each race/class combination.
4. Iron man.
5. Fists only.
6. No artifacts.
7. Store bought shovel (You go, MattB!!!)

Whatever crazy, difficult, impossible, scenario Debo comes up with for the competitions!!!

8. A Borg win

Willem.

Given the borg isn't implemented in latest Angband, this challenge amounts to 'reimplement the borg in latest Angband, then have that borg win', right?

[PowerWyrm]

Eddie's the only person crazy enough to have done the artifactless egoless mage, and I don't know of anyone who's tried to add bookless to that. If artifactless egoless mage is climbing Mount Everest, then bookless artifactless egoless mage is climbing Mount Olympus...without a spacesuit. That's the one on Mars, if you've forgotten.

Challenge completed. Took me over a month, so don't ask me to do that again

Now if someone wants to add ironman to that, good luck and see you next... year? decade?

Holy cow! Congratulations! That is seriously impressive.

601 HP, huh...more than enough to survive a Mana Storm. But it's a good thing hobbits have a CON bonus! One less point of CON would have put you into instadeath range, I'm pretty sure.

How much time did you have to spend scumming for consumables?

I'll note one advantage you had over Eddie's run: you were able to match Morgoth's speed without having to rely on Mushrooms of Terror (assuming no burden, though I note your character sheet reads +29 speed...). A +18 speed ring and what must have been a perfect or nearly-perfect Amulet of Trickery make a big difference.

[Pete Mack]

@Powerwyrm--that is a crazy impressive win; congrats. Eddie played with empty ego file, so he could wear any PDSM found.

[Estie]

Congrats! I have been following your journey on the ladder, very impressive.

[krazyhades]

Yeah that was an impressive show of, among other things, extreme patience

[Nick]

This game is clearly too easy. My proposed reduction of spells is obviously fine, because they are apparently unnecessary.

[Antoine]

Fine work

A.

[Patashu]

What an amazing run!
