3d box vault and stinknasty tactics
So, here is this cool looking new vault. I dig the zig zaggy, get up in a prime spot and mass banish everything but a few uniqeus. Grab +9, +8 speedring, teleport away uniques. When they come back I kill them now that I'm 200% stronger. I suck. I realize that as a player, I'm supposed to adhere to about 100 unspoken rules but I decided today that if the game allows it, I'm gonna do it. I can't imagine all the mental gymnastics a mage player must do to make sure he isn't breaking game-ethics. Here I am just a dumbass troll with one mass banishment and tele away wand with some recharge scrolls. The risk vs reward here was so out of balance I ruined my own game pretty hard. This is my fault, I understand that completely... but, perhaps making vaults hack proof, like O and FA has, would be a good decision.

And then there's the Hengband route, where monsters can sometimes resist Teleportation and (Mass) Genocide. That can be frustrating but it does keep you (sort of) honest when it comes to vaults. That and the randomized speed system which adds some variance and makes it more likely for an OOD unique to kill you before you can teleport it away.

But basically I think you were pretty lucky to find a +8 and a +9 speed ring in that one little vault. My advice is not to fret too much.

I say sod game ethics. It's supposed to be fun, so if mass banishing and looting is fun (and why wouldn't it be) then do it.

Fair enough then! I won't feel bad about it anymore. I wouldn't care if others did it, so why am I so hard on myself? It just paid off too well, I guess.
