How about a picture thread?

I'll start: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8976/fnjs.png F**k druj. Especially skull druj. I really wanted to explore that vault, too... just cba charging a skull druj across that many squares. I suppose it could have been worse... he could have been in the middle of the giant open area at the cen...

Re: How long have you been playing MAngband? [Poll]

My post history goes back to 2002, and I think I've been playing since 2001 or earlier.

Re: Auto-removal artifact timers

My favorite way of dealing with a shortage of artifacts is to do what Berendol did on his server - make new, rarer ego and item types to fill the gaps left by unavailable artifacts. I know we already have items like this, but it can be extended even further. The biggest thing I remember from his ser...

Re: Looking at the grid

I think he means the way the game refers to them - none of those descriptors are grammatically correct, while the game does have the ability to apply proper grammar to most words. Along these lines, I notice that on the statistics page, dead Half Elf and High Elf characters are referred to with the ...

Re: Disenchant resist should block charge draining

I didn't realize teleport scrolls were an option - just yesterday Durin told me that 7 occasionally stocks 10 or so of them, so now I am using those.

Your proposed fixes would indeed be welcome.

Disenchant resist should block charge draining

...because seriously, dying to something because your teleport(or destruct, or banish, or what have you) staff got drained is not ok. The message "Energy drains from your pack" is very easy to overlook in a realtime variant where new messages constantly flow in during combat, and often, you'll only ...

Immobile Hounds Breathing

...happens 100% of the time. This is lethal, particularly when it comes to unresistable damage types like Time.

This needs an adjustment as soon as possible.

Halp Tarrasque

This surely counts as a YASD - not noticing the only flashing R in the game should certainly be considered stupid. Anyone free for a rescue? Will post mortem when it pops on the site, but right now I need a lift, lol. http://www.mangband.org/Main/HighScoreChart?v=1.1.2?dump=Avenger-5060325758 Saved ...

Re: Wilderness monster flags

Sounds good to me, and you of all people would know whether this is feasible or not coding-wise, so I assume it's doable. I always liked the wilderness in MAngband, I think it would be nice to add even more variety and independence to it, not to mention giving players more incentive to go there, rat...

Re: Retiring

Seems I've missed alot in my absence. Well, I may as well post my thoughts on this issue. Clearly, I've been gone for some time now, and the reason, mostly, is that I don't really feel I have time for a game that doesn't provide a sense of permanence. Right now I am mostly playing Runescape, an MMOR...

Re: General Server Cleanup.

I also happened to randomly check the forums. I assume all my stuff's gone. Ah well, if I start playing more I'll find it again  ;)

Thanks for the clean-up Crimson.

Re: The mangband.org Ladder

Nah, he gives the time in minutes, not intervals. As you can see the lowest players are all tied at 10, which is only 1 interval. So Zaphod has only played 1713 out of 11088 intervals.

Re: Death by 'Look CMD'

Hmm, that's an interesting suggestion... maybe have a new type of macro that's conditional. Dunno how easy that'd be to implement, but I'm sure patchs are welcome. ;)

Re: Vote: Reset artifacts/houses

B seems like the best plan to me, I've always thought it would be nice to find an art other than Nimthanc once in awhile.
As for houses, there aren't very many available, so reseting them would be a plus in my opinion.
