>mifi Probably a MiBe. See the troll in the background?
Zachary Young
Well, a giant ant just became my pet.
Is it good? I lost hachi in the first level.
Robert Martinez
One more exam to go
Then it's off for a weekend of roguelikes! Brogue is the correct starting game, right?
Why name a game after a shoe though
Samuel Green
>not being a NEET and dedicating your entire life to playing roguelikes
You're doing it wrong user.
Alexander Morales
it stands for Brian's Rogue
Carson Brooks
It's acceptable. Doesn't grow up though.
Wyatt Taylor
>that backlink Why?
Anyway: /rlg/ clans for the tournament. It starts in 3.5 hours.
MuMo clan: WE WUZ PHARAOHS N SHIIIEEET Add # TEAMCAPTAIN heterosexualmale to the start of your rc 0.18 file and probably make a post about it somewhere.
Easygoing /rlg/ clan: Algerian Curse Removal Ltd Add # TEAMCAPTAIN nikheizen to the start of your 0.18 rc and respond to this post. Doesn't matter how good you are, if you haven't won or can streak MuCKs.
Christian Lee
Rogue was the first roguelike
Brogue is similar to Rogue but it has some differences, that's why it's called Brogue.
And no, it's DCSS.
Eli Jackson
In the "What to Play" pasta, there is a section on "What should I play first?". All of those are great choices for your first roguelike.
Camden Perez
Are there other ways to kill Metal Babble than the needles? Or is just incredibly bothersome?
Jeremiah Butler
add me to Algerian Curse Removal Ltd.

Eli Stewart
I'm going to play DCSS after a long time.
Gonna play MiBe, but I want to know, is the ring mail a meme or actually the best armor now?
Because in 0.16 I just used plate or GDA and it worked perfectly.
Camden Jones
>And no, it's DCSS Why would you lie like that user
Nicholas Butler
What abou the viidiot clan and implos clan
Dominic Campbell
I'm not lying.
Also, remember
Plate > ring mail.
Julian Hughes
Ringmail is just for sub 12str fags, Minotaur is better just getting as heavy as possible
Andrew Scott
What do I do lads?
Jordan Perez
Added. It usually takes a while to refresh, but you should be listed before the start of the tournament. I didn't see them make any posts here about there clans. viidiot's is just the same details as last year, so he probably just left that stuff in his rc.
Ethan Allen
Learn to make your own trivial decisions in a video game.
Grayson Jenkins
we're in business
Sorry for trying to liven up the thread
Caleb Smith
Do it. What have you got to lose?
Cooper Gray
>abyssal rune hunting Holy fucking shit why is this a part of the game? It makes me just want to ctrl-q.
Ian Ramirez
REMOVE CUM Why do we always get the weirdest autists
Carter Morgan
he said cum
Sebastian Barnes
>so leather is better than ring? Not in my experience, unless you happen to find a +3 FR leather. The thing about leather and robes is that you do need some small amount of AC to not get wrecked by chaff. Ring tends to provide the best balance, unless you have high enough Str to wear scale without an additional EV penalty.
>what about mottled having a really shitty intrinsic? You don't wear MDA for the intrinsic. You wear MDA for its top tier combination of AC and EV and stealth.
(SwDA tends to be better, though, if you can make it in your game. rPois helps a lot throughout the entirety of the game, and the slight additional encumbrance rating of SwDA is often offset by Strength because its ER is still really low. With SwDA you tend to get rPois and some small AC for "free".)
Michael Hughes
I just made that team in my rc because I'm going out of town and wasn't sure if I'd be around in time to catch the MuMo train.
You guys can add me to WE WUZ PHARAOHS if you want.
username: Implojin
Jacob Robinson
he has like 2000 AC so almost impossible to hit, but needles ignore AC and have 100% accuracy
you could maybe use some other never-miss attacks but the only one I can think of is the swordmaster fire stance and he's immune to all elements
Evan Gray
Except the item generation algorithm will produce tons of +4 leather armor of resists and special shit, and nothing but +0 ring.
Alexander Jones
So what's a good japanese sounding name for an ant pet.
Joseph King
shitto mosquito
Nathaniel White
>having huge AC and no EV
well it works in lair and orc but once you get to V or U you will die to juggernauts, liches, elf sorcerors, or anything else that hits hard-but-inaccurately.
Nathan Ramirez
Dokusei Dikku
Dylan Hughes
So if I'm going to play MiBe I should go for ring mail.
Even if it has no protections, at all.
Gabriel Kelly
>not xom
Leo Butler
>implying armor doesnt block juggs shitty 60/30 attack and LCS
Lincoln Long
By the time you meet them you should have enough armor skill that your dodging is useful.
Caleb Sanchez
you should have good ac AND ev if you're mibe with good str and armor skill you can go heavier than ring mail, but exclusively only ever wearing plate is dumb
>132 damage LCS >remove 40 damage with AC >still take 92 damage
it doesn't help
David Rogers
Well alright, so in what order should I train skills?
I'm gonna use axes by the way.
Owen Brown
first get fighting to level 26, since after all you're a fighter
then think about getting about 16 stealth
after this you train Unarmed to make your offhand punch stronger (make sure to never use two-handed axes or youll lose this benefit)
by this piont in my experiacne you'll either win the orb of zot or be dead so other skills dont matter
Cameron Carter
So no crystal plate mail.
Parker Davis
Train whichever skill will give you the greatest utility in the near future. You've got something like 6 to choose from so if you aren't able to make decisions at this level you should probably just kill yourself.
Ayden Cooper
I think that is horrible advice.
also
>piont >experiacne
Dominic Lewis
weaponskill to 1.0 delay fighting to ~8 dodging to ~6 weaponskill to 1h mindelay dodging until you float like butterfly
If you're into roleplaying BIGDUMBMIBE you can replace Dodging with Armour, but that's generally less than optimal.
Angel Morgan
Ok, so how do I kill myself?
Lucas King
also dont actually train axes early on, minotaurs are good at axes so you dont need the xp yet and you might find a rlly good artifact like a +11 mace of *confuse that u can use to confuse your enemys
Logan Barnes
>no invo >no evoc
Logan Sanders
I just want to get 3 runes and win.
Liam Howard
OK ALL CRAWL TALK IS BANNED FOR THE NEXT 3 HOURS, LET THE OTHERS HAVE THE SPOTLIGHT
Michael James
Then ignore the funposts and do this:
Hunter Collins
why wasn't I invited to join
James Reyes
>If you're into roleplaying BIGDUMBMIBE But Minotaurs arent even dumb Trolls, Ogres and ghouls on the other hand...
>Algerian Curse Removal Ltd Am i missing something, or this name is neither funny, nor cancerously memetasic? I want to join a /rlg/ clan, but whats even the point if the name has no lame pun or dumb meme reference in it?
Jackson Hughes
/rlg/ curse
Kevin Martin
>not knowing about the curse SHEEIT
Elijah Martinez
>Algerian Curse >not a meme
--be are always dumb
int does LITERALLY NOTHING if you aren't casting spells
Connor Fisher
Elyvilon is such a shitty worthless god, why haven't they removed her?
Jaxon Moore
Why does Ely have to be a her, maybe it's like Gwyndolin
Landon Jackson
>he doesn't know
Gavin Collins
>only source of direct heal >lol so shit
Gabriel King
I am terribly sorry, i usually stay in other Veeky Forums threads and only play crawl during tourneys. ;_;
Please add KiT to Algerian Curse Removal. I have been playing in crawl tournaments since 0.5, and my best tournament score so far is____365
Anthony Ross
ely was cool when she could make a net piety profit by convertign hydras to JESUS
exploration-based piety a shit
Robert Murphy
Pakellas can recharge wands of healing now, user~
Jackson Roberts
>not worshiping a combat god >not killing you enemies before they kill you >what are potions of heal wounds
Carson Ortiz
and it doesn't cost piety technically quick charge does cost piety but i've literally never noticed piety costs on pak
pakellas is goodely
Luke Garcia
Ok I added you. I tried adding that other guy, Sphinx, but he hasn't shown up on the team yet for some reason
Mason Scott
elven mithril coat or rustproof splint mail?
James Taylor
>caustic shrikes
Landon James
mithril
lighter, better (?) ac, MC2
get dwarf mithril if you can though, the knife-eared scum are inferior craftsmen
Are caustic shrikes still in 0.18? I haven't seen any spawn recently.
Jose Hill
It has one point less of AC.
John Green
Added.
Connor Parker
>Are caustic shrikes still in 0.18? Sadly, yes.
Kayden Wilson
add me to Algerian Curse Removal Ltd.
username: ayayaya
Aiden Nelson
Well I just put on a -3 cursed dwarvish cloak so no mithril for me.
Samuel Walker
Well find a scroll of remove curse.
Jordan Thompson
Typhoeus is fucking painful as android. Lightning breath hits the cap probably, which I have 54% res to. Thankfully the damage caps seem to be lower in Poschengband?
If memory recalls correctly, caps were 1600 in Angband...
Carson Ortiz
Well I'll probably die before I find one.
Jose Watson
Added. Algerian Curse Removal Ltd. is FULL.
If anyone wants to join another clan or some such, drop a message here or you can message nikheizen on freenode.org so I can take you out of my rc.
Good luck everyone! I'm sure most of you will do better than me. 2h36m until the tourny starts.
Justin Wood
Well fuck you, shitter.
Carson Myers
guys i have to pick between jerking off and the crawl tournament help
Liam Parker
damage cap in pcb is lower because you can't resist as much
with gear resist and potion resist in Vanilla you take 1/9th damage
PCB uses the pip system for resists though and potions only add 1 pip
Camden Bennett
Why are you being so aggressive.
Jackson Bell
>pick mibe >macro o and tab to both be reachable with left hand >jerk off with right hand
??? what is the difficulty here
Hudson Kelly
Just a prank bro.
Evan Diaz
>tfw no one is actually going to play mumo for the tourney
Benjamin Miller
Dropped in to Dragon's Lair for an acquirement. I think this is a sign that I shouldn't be here. Also doesn't Gachapin usually appear in the 25-30 lvl range?
Christian Gray
Ah, I remember reading a bit about in the comments of the code that Hengband did some reworking, but I didn't pay it huge amount of attention.
I see.
I kinda wanna probably fork Poschengband, just fix some nigglings ( bend experience curve a bit, etc. and some minor changes. Perhaps one custom class, even. ) But can't be arsed to set up environment to compile it.
Nathan Green
Went up, down and now this.
Evan Morris
About that range ( usually 29 ).
...Just go to 555 to use up the acquirement. It's safer and more profitable probably.
Andrew Fisher
Ashenzari is shitty too.
Lucas Gomez
I got a fur cloak of protection, just like always.
Ian Martin
Try and pronounce Kikubaaqudgha and Yredelemnul
Owen Brown
Alright, I reached mine town, so what now, do I just keep going down or do I go back to the main dungeon?
Joseph Ward
wrongandbad
ashenzari is a cool lady who makes you better at everything
bad for otabbing but good for hybrids with a mix of melee and spellcasting
