>mifi
Probably a MiBe. See the troll in the background?

Well, a giant ant just became my pet.

Is it good? I lost hachi in the first level.

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

>not being a NEET and dedicating your entire life to playing roguelikes

You're doing it wrong user.

it stands for Brian's Rogue

It's acceptable. Doesn't grow up though.

>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.

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.

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.

Are there other ways to kill Metal Babble than the needles? Or is just incredibly bothersome?

add me to Algerian Curse Removal Ltd.

username: gitgud34

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.

>And no, it's DCSS
Why would you lie like that user

What abou the viidiot clan and implos clan

I'm not lying.

Also, remember

Plate > ring mail.

Ringmail is just for sub 12str fags, Minotaur is better just getting as heavy as possible

What do I do lads?

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.

Learn to make your own trivial decisions in a video game.

we're in business

Sorry for trying to liven up the thread

Do it. What have you got to lose?

>abyssal rune hunting
Holy fucking shit why is this a part of the game?
It makes me just want to ctrl-q.

REMOVE CUM
Why do we always get the weirdest autists

he said cum

>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".)

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

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

Except the item generation algorithm will produce tons of +4 leather armor of resists and special shit, and nothing but +0 ring.

So what's a good japanese sounding name for an ant pet.

shitto mosquito

>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.

Dokusei Dikku

So if I'm going to play MiBe I should go for ring mail.

Even if it has no protections, at all.

>not xom

>implying armor doesnt block juggs shitty 60/30 attack and LCS

By the time you meet them you should have enough armor skill that your dodging is useful.

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

Well alright, so in what order should I train skills?

I'm gonna use axes by the way.

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

So no crystal plate mail.

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.

I think that is horrible advice.

also

>piont
>experiacne

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.

Ok, so how do I kill myself?

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

>no invo
>no evoc

I just want to get 3 runes and win.

OK ALL CRAWL TALK IS BANNED FOR THE NEXT 3 HOURS, LET THE OTHERS HAVE THE SPOTLIGHT

Then ignore the funposts and do this:

why wasn't I invited to join

>If you're into roleplaying BIGDUMBMIBE
But Minotaurs arent even dumb
Trolls, Ogres and ghouls on the other hand...

No.
Alright, sounds good.

I'll try to not use heavy armor.

so anons, did any of you see the new webtiles server at crawl.jorgrun.rocks

it's in montreal i think

Only cum-drinkers allowed.

>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?

/rlg/ curse

>not knowing about the curse
SHEEIT

>Algerian Curse
>not a meme

--be are always dumb

int does LITERALLY NOTHING if you aren't casting spells

Elyvilon is such a shitty worthless god, why haven't they removed her?

Why does Ely have to be a her, maybe it's like Gwyndolin

>he doesn't know

>only source of direct heal
>lol so shit

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

ely was cool when she could make a net piety profit by convertign hydras to JESUS

exploration-based piety a shit

Pakellas can recharge wands of healing now, user~

>not worshiping a combat god
>not killing you enemies before they kill you
>what are potions of heal wounds

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

Ok I added you. I tried adding that other guy, Sphinx, but he hasn't shown up on the team yet for some reason

elven mithril coat or rustproof splint mail?

>caustic shrikes

mithril

lighter, better (?) ac, MC2

get dwarf mithril if you can though, the knife-eared scum are inferior craftsmen

DSM > Mithril > Enchanted Studded/Regular Leather > Everything else

Are caustic shrikes still in 0.18? I haven't seen any spawn recently.

It has one point less of AC.

Added.

>Are caustic shrikes still in 0.18?
Sadly, yes.

add me to Algerian Curse Removal Ltd.

username: ayayaya

Well I just put on a -3 cursed dwarvish cloak so no mithril for me.

Well find a scroll of remove curse.

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 (blind) msg_format("%^s breathes.", m_name);
> else msg_format("%^s breathes lightning.", m_name);
> dam = MIN(m_ptr->hp / 4, 900);

If memory recalls correctly, caps were 1600 in Angband...

Well I'll probably die before I find one.

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.

Well fuck you, shitter.

guys i have to pick between jerking off and the crawl tournament
help

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

Why are you being so aggressive.

>pick mibe
>macro o and tab to both be reachable with left hand
>jerk off with right hand

??? what is the difficulty here

Just a prank bro.

>tfw no one is actually going to play mumo for the tourney

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?

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.

Went up, down and now this.

About that range ( usually 29 ).

...Just go to 555 to use up the acquirement. It's safer and more profitable probably.

Ashenzari is shitty too.

I got a fur cloak of protection, just like always.

Try and pronounce Kikubaaqudgha and Yredelemnul

Alright, I reached mine town, so what now, do I just keep going down or do I go back to the main dungeon?

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
