Yeah that sucks.

The worst was when I was trying to generate nasties for armor by purposely keeping alive a Master Lich I was fighting on the Castle Level and it was easy, I could just swing my cockatrice corpse at em. I did this for so many turns I completely forgot I was standing right next to a pit and moved into it.

Do you want your possessions identified?

:(... i had a cockatrice corpse once! and gloves! damn


PS - do you cheat?

I use all the spoilers and all the abuses but I don't savefile cheat.

HEY, I just downloaded it and gave it a shot. To date, that is now my least favorite game ever. I quit level 1 with 15 health/hit points in 61 moves and picked up 39 gold pieces, was a pacifist (though I did kill a newt), illiterate, I genocided no monsters and... whatever else. I accomplished all that just by clicking 4,6,8 and 2 quite randomly.

Windows people should use falcon's eye

(to Scaredy) Sorry that is not a Nethack death. You will notice your sign off message says "You survived."

also pacifism i think means not killing a sentient being? or not initiating an attack?

Wait a minute . . . It's been a while since I played last but yes, actually, towards the end I used to cheat by turning the computer off right before I was about to die and then using the restore utility.

My parents must be very proud.

one year passes...
I think the fastest death I had was when I kicked a sink in the starting room and was 'exhausted' to death by the succubus that appeared!!
