SLASH’EM wants you DEAD.” 09:17 yeah and then someone (I don't remember who) added "SLASH'EM Extended wants you to suffer." 09:18 "EvilHack wants to see if it can make you flip the table." 09:19 *cough*jarlearl*cough* 09:20 a rousing success 09:20 who is jarlearl? 09:21 Probably a monster class in slex. 09:21 a former evilhack player who lost it in channel when a door exploded on him 09:21 oh really? damn, I must have missed that 09:21 funny but sad ragequit 09:22 would love to read the log... hothraxxa do you happen to remember the day (plus or minus a few, I can then search the relevant logs) when it happened? or I guess I could just look at the date of his last evilhack ttyrec if he didn't play again after that 09:22 yeah that's the best way 09:22 but for now I have to go afk for a while because my wonderlovely bundleroommate ♥♥♥ invited me for some ice-cream <3 09:22 will there be shoes? 09:22 Or just grep jarlearly #hardfought.log | tail 09:22 s/y//; 09:23 @luxidream any thoughts on where evil (and splice) fit into the variant alignment chart? 09:24 evil should be down in the chaotic evil corner 09:24 last time it was brought up I think someone made a case for swapping slex (to chaotic neutral) and grunt (to chaotic evil) 09:24 -!- arniac has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 09:24 splice is chaotic neutral i think 09:25 I would argue Splice is more ordered chaos 09:25 evilhack isnt lawful evil? 09:25 aww 09:26 hmm 09:26 The additions themselves are chaotic, but I do my best to keep everything cohesive, player-friendly and fun. 09:26 Hmm. My logs suggest jarlearl has been nickpinged in #hardfought several times but has never spoken here. 09:26 -!- arniac has joined #hardfought 09:26 oh apparently I got the time wrong, and our planned ice-cream-eating will have to wait for another hour 09:27 (Well, until someone runs into a Molydeus and rants in this channel, at which point splice becomes evil) 09:27 dammit jonadab now i have to go and check my logs 09:27 jonadab JarlEarl used to talk in here a fair amount 09:27 hothraxxa: well I'd love it if she was wearing her high-heeled leather fleece boots, but it's raining heavily outside so maybe not 09:27 Oh, right, capitalization. 09:27 Right, I forgot to -i 09:27 sucks I can't really reliably wish for Dragonbane now... I'm gonna have the same problem with juggling MR and Reflection and being able to blind myself in a single turn. 09:27 jonadab then he had is epic meltdown over evilhack and left 09:27 I was assuming people tab completed, and apparently they did not. 09:28 AntiGulp: So are you gunning for true neutral? 09:28 If i use the eyes of Overworld for MR and amulet slot for reflection, then I can't just throw the towel on when I see a beholder 09:28 jonadab: i am irregular about tab complete 09:28 Looks like Tuesday August 6th. 09:28 aosdict: I don’t know. I think early splice was chaotic neutral but it’s migrated away from that over time. 09:28 probably going to have to wear cloak of MR, but then can't wear shield and cast.. also only MC 1 vs. the 2 from the robe 09:28 hmmmmm 09:29 WTF? apparently there is no player named "jarlearl" or "JarlEarl" on the hdf userdata 09:29 were they playing with a different name? 09:29 maybe if wand is 0:3 i will try for dragonbane a couple times anyway 09:29 amy: actually yes, he did 09:29 i think sorcerer? 09:29 oh 09:30 hothraxxa: how did you handle MR/reflection when you played monk in EH ? 09:30 then I can search forever under "J" 09:30 he used more than one 09:30 i swapped the eyes out 09:30 yeah 09:30 the reason i played neutral was to wish for the pyec for mr 09:30 LarienTelrunya: Tuesday August 6th. 09:30 yeah 09:30 too many artifacts 09:30 i think i'm at 3 09:30 my strategy was to get the pyec on the first wish 09:31 And it looks like forges backfiring on him were the straw that broke the camel's back. 09:31 for exactly that reason 09:31 i used first wish for eye of the aethiopica... also grants MR, but you need to be wearing it 09:31 Though the door traps did not help. 09:31 PYEC is great for that 09:31 :: starts over and wishes for PYEC :: 09:31 16:56 Check a door for traps 4 $#$#%! times and yet did not detect it?! How many $#$@@ times do I need to check to be safe? This is why I stopped playing ADoM..... 09:31 lol 09:31 i too hate that 09:32 17:02 Dipping in a forge can summon a fire elemental ?!?!?! On DLVL 4????? At character level 1?????? I think I am done with this game!!!!!!!!!!! 09:32 DOUBLE LOL 09:32 i am up to 5 checks now and i still get trapped occasionally 09:32 Just force-bolt all doors from several tiles away to be safe :-) 09:32 why are you dipping things at character level 1 :P on 4chan everyone would be saying "fault" there 09:32 -!- arniac has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds] 09:32 to get rid of zombies 09:32 i made that error at first too 09:33 Oops I might have been the one who added the fire elemental thing that K2 ported 09:33 My bad 09:33 Just leave the zombies alone. 09:33 lol I'm really laughing now since I'm seeing the log... it's true, that guy had a complete meltdown 09:33 has jarlearl been back since that ragequit? 09:33 yes well wwhen you first discover forges, you think oh cool, i can get rid of the zombies 09:33 he has not afaik 09:33 Looks like no. 09:34 i understand being pissed dying later in the game. but yikes that was crazy 09:34 Good thing he didn’t find out that forges can explode. 09:34 Maybe he went back to ADOM. 09:34 Or found DCSS. 09:34 I mean, I'd hate evilhack too if I were to play it, but in order to preserve my sanity, I don't :D 09:34 AntiGulp i'm changing forge behavior for evilhack 0.4 09:34 well to be fair he'd been frustrated a few time previously. it had been building up 09:34 swapping out fire elemental for something else 09:34 amy: EH is fun as helll.. although you don't like 3.6x soooo 09:34 fire vortex? 09:34 Lava elemental? 09:34 K2: I recommend Lava Demon, fro mthe convict patch. 09:35 i hate them 09:35 AntiGulp you're reading my mind 09:35 At least in Splice you can cook with them 09:35 rebatela: I've played it once; it felt too sporkhacky and not enough grunthacky, and yeah, THREE POINT SIX :P 09:35 thats what i had in mind 09:35 symmetry with water demon/fountains 09:35 yeah.. i've never played spork or grunt so it was all new 09:35 but i have made the adjustment from 3.43 to 3.6 by now... 09:35 you can be forced to kill a lava demon in a bad place and screw access to something important 09:36 ask me how i know 09:36 yeah how 09:36 how does killing a lava demon do that 09:36 forgot all about PYEC... I used to do that all the time. THat's a great tip hothraxxa. ty 09:36 i forget 09:36 hothraxxa: I think those are lava elementals. Another thing I added. My bad again. 09:36 but you can 09:36 won't work this game, likely. But for future 09:36 maybe you're thinking lava elemental? 09:36 oh ok, lava elemental then. i hate those 09:36 those dont exist in evilhack 09:37 Although, my very first 3.6 ascension, Rodney stole PYEC from me... So now HE Had MR just from carrying and couldn't death wand 09:37 that really sucked... That was my intro to wizard stealing all quest artifacts now 09:37 I like 3.6 quite a lot, but I really don’t like the quest artifact theft change. 09:38 antigulp: it especially sucks for monks w/ no body armor because you lose that slot that provides MR or reflection for everyone else 09:38 I don't even care about the AC so much 09:38 rebatela: It feels like it make ascension kits very same-y 09:38 won't somebody think of the giant monks? 09:39 seriously... can't even wear a cloak 09:39 did jilles ascend that game? Had a giant monk that killed demogorgon etc. last night i believe 09:39 not yet 09:39 he most likely will though 09:40 he's playing a giant monk? that bartads! 09:47 -!- AntiGulp has quit [Quit: ZZAZZ] 09:51 hm. ring of p'hul, never thought of that 09:51 you'd need to be chaotic to get it though hothraxxa 09:51 yeah but that's a starting strategy, like the pyec 09:52 thing is, he's no better equipped for atral than i was. he needs tremendous luck to survive the special attacks 09:53 the ring is cool because mr, free action, and sickness resistance 09:53 that's a potent trio in evil 09:54 what's a red naga doing on dlvl 6? 09:55 harrassing you? 09:55 oh wait, it's 8, it's soko1 from level 7 09:55 well, it breathed fire at me and then I killed it, didn't have much time to harass 09:55 [hdf-us] [nh363] allanb (Wiz Hum Mal Neu) killed Famine (5 times), on T:58846 09:55 and I ate it but no fire resistance :-( 09:56 sometimes the rng doesn't like you 09:56 i had an uncursed unknown helmet last night. chance of hoa is 1 in 10, worth the risk right? 09:57 NOOOOO 09:57 I like the 3.6 no-quest-artifact-is-safe change if for no other reason than it removed questartiwishing as an optimal behavior 09:57 hothraxxa: once I found three uncursed helms of opposite alignment in the same shop. 09:57 i love how you developers like to frustrate optinal strategies 09:57 [hdf-us] [nh363] allanb (Wiz Hum Mal Neu) killed Death, on T:58923 09:57 not 09:58 one might have been cursed come to think of it, but 2 out of 3 = what are the chances 09:58 well... 2 of 3 09:58 obviously ;) 09:58 get your math out of here 09:59 what we think should happen / what actually happens 09:59 weatherperson says there's a 50% chance of rain today. then it rains. guess what? chance of rain was 100% 09:59 there was a line in the martian along the lines of "what are the chances someone would be stuck on mars without a ship?" "empirically, 1/3" 10:00 no it WAS 50%. it IS 100% 10:00 also, weather chances are a bad example because people don't understand them 10:02 30% chance of rain could mean the big storm system that's definitely going to hit over the next few days might speed up a bit and hit today, or it could mean that *someone* is going to be absolutely slammed by a thunder cell but who knows whether it'll be you 10:04 lies, damned lies, and statistics 10:04 30% chance of rain means that on 30% of days with these conditions, it rained 10:04 that's it 10:05 dataset is taken from the past though which isnt really useful unless thats where you are 10:06 the internets tell me that it also means that 30% of the area will experience some rain. that makes no sense to me 10:07 [hdf-us] [nh363] allanb (Wiz Hum Mal Neu) killed Pestilence, on T:59166 10:07 that would be the single thunderstorm tracking across the area scenario 10:07 if you're not in its path, no rain 10:12 again... 10:12 what we think should happen / what actually happens 10:12 :) 10:15 [hdf-us] [dnh] malor4 (Bar Hum Mal Cha) killed the invisible Sir Garland, on T:17213 10:17 -!- Chris_ANG has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds] 10:22 [hdf-us] [dnh] malor4 (Bar Hum Mal Cha) wished for "blessed +2 green dragon scale shield", on T:17223 10:28 gah, already had a BoH 10:37 [hdf-us] [nh363] rootkit (Arc Gno Mal Neu) eschewed atheism, by dropping 5 darts on an altar, on T:3761 10:44 -!- Chris_ANG has joined #hardfought 10:44 -!- mode/#hardfought [+v Chris_ANG] by ChanServ 10:51 keep it for polying 11:01 -!- Chris__ANG has joined #hardfought 11:01 -!- mode/#hardfought [+v Chris__ANG] by ChanServ 11:03 -!- Chris_ANG has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 11:06 -!- Chris__ANG has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 11:12 -!- bug_sniper has joined #hardfought 11:14 -!- NeroOneTrueKing has quit [Quit: Leaving] 11:25 -!- stenno has joined #hardfought 11:43 You put a topaz stone into the bag of holding.

But cant 15:54 ID'ing it of course will reveal which spell school it helps with 15:54 it was the healing staff in this case. I donno it affects other staffs. 15:54 Huh, enhancer staves. Do they help spell failure or effectiveness? 15:54 True, but so will wielding it and checking spell % chance 15:54 it lowers the failure chance of one school of magic. Pretty cool actually 15:56 I can totally see the room for this item in the game. Wizards would have a reason to keep a staff around as an alternate weapon, and I think that's just good RP 15:56 and some non caster classes would have a chance of casting a spell here and there 15:56 there are staves for each spell school except enchantment 15:56 Yes, and in NetHack terms there isn't really spellpower to augment so I see why it does spell failure 15:56 (It could grant you a level in the spell skill) 15:57 AntiVirus: But you don't want to incentivize a wizard toting around every type of staff to swap out depending on what spell they wanted to cast, nor would you want every wizard ever to just use war staffs. 15:57 true, but my wizards would never need a war staff 15:57 unless they're trying to stretch to cast finger of death, that school is usually very well enchanced 15:58 but other schools like matter that get less exercise 15:58 or healing 16:00 -!- rld has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 16:00 Oh asodict, these staves already exist in EvilHack. 16:00 not a patch idea 16:00 -!- rld has joined #hardfought 16:00 -!- mode/#hardfought [+v rld] by ChanServ 16:00 Why don't they give rise to weapons golfbag syndrome?

It was, you may not be surprised to learn, empty. 23:48 i died at castle earlier... i think you wre here. ugh 23:48 Not me, I last died at the Castle in 3.1.3 :-) 23:48 but now i havet the mr thing fiured out.. i can use a blindfold/towel in one turn.. that's what kept killing me in ehj 23:49 eh 23:50 fucking beholders 23:51 pyec is the way to go. that's what i used to do in 3.43. totally forgot about it 23:51 Earlier I meant to say, if there _is_ to be quartifact wishing, Rodney should darn well steal other people's too 23:52 oh for sure 23:52 We're in an odd situation now where (say) the Orb of Weight is _worse_ for a valk than for anyone else 23:52 i have no problem with him stealing them 23:52 i have a problem with peopel thinking it's wrong to wish for them 23:52 ^ it me, sorry 23:54 if it was wrong to wish for quest artifacts, you wouldn't be able to 23:54 * Pinkbeast is _able_ to set people on fire, but... 23:54 it's SO part of the game that they have adjusted the rules etc. 23:55 [hdf-us] [evil] Grouchy (Wiz Hum Mal Cha) averted death, on T:21092 23:55 I don't always see eye to eye with TDT on the game's design (inasmuch as it has a design), something which I gather is not unprecedented 23:56 If you weren't supposed to wish for quest artifiacts, they would have removed it many many years ago 23:56 makes the game fun IMO 23:57 I think we did this earlier, but I think the reason it makes the game more fun is that non-quest artifacts are almost all poorly differentiated. 23:57 So I think the answer to that is some better non-quest artifacts. 23:58 and they adjusted for it... Rodney wil steal it so if I am relying on PYEC for MR, that's a pretty big risk i'm taking and like i was saying earlier he stole it on my very first 3.60 ascension 23:58 -!- Gaelan has joined #hardfought 23:58 instant MR (and of death is useless) 23:59 wand* 23:59 Well, that's certainly unfortunate but quartifacts have many valuable properties that aren't so absolute as MR, or so bad if taken from you. 23:59 in a way it make sit more fun
