< fuzzynerd> I wouldn't know where to start, though...trying to make a modification to a masterpiece like nethack. :)
< fuzzynerd> I've been grepping the source for hints periodically, too. I'd be worried about destroying game balance, or something. It's like adding a moustache to mona lisa, or something. You just don't do it. :)
< Kats> well after I beat Mona seven times I went to Slash'em and lemme tell ya it's mustache, beard, afro and Ray-Bans
< tsuteiuQ> hmm, Lord Surtur is awfully sleepy
< tsuteiuQ> usually he wakes up by the time I walk in
< cbus> he must be on medication ;)
< tsuteiuQ> never seen him sleep for THAT long
< tsuteiuQ> he even slept thru a squeaky board
< Xavior> I don't like using magic mapping
< purge> but it shows both stairs in the mazes!!
< Xavior> they're mazes for a reason!
< purge> well ok we'll see if you still like the mazes after you do 15 of them
< purge> with NO purpose except to find the stairway down
< Xavior> The voice of Amaterasu Omikami thunders: "Thou hast pleased me with thy progress,"--More--
< CronoCloud> Amaterasu? goody two shoes japanese goddess? I don't think she'd thunder. :-)
< hiJacker> NE know were i can get a free shell 4 a bot! plz help
< TSC> Try Minetown
< hiJacker> c'mon stop playin
< Sebbe> ...but I'm addicted
< Zealot> We can't. Nethack is a very addictive game.
< TSC> We can't
< Zealot> I won't stop 'til I've ascended, myself.
< purge> making run for planes...
< tweek__> purge: this sounds familiar, didn't you just do this a week ago
< SpeaK> it's quite stupid the player cannot shut his/her eyes :)
< jilles> it enhances gameplay
< SpeaK> "and nethack isn't real life" yes yes
< TauPan> the need for a blindfold can be rationalised by saying that the adventurer will open his/her eyes out of reflex.
< Xavior> would you keep your eyes closed if suddenly your armor burst into flames?
< SpeaK> of course i would......not
< TauPan> rationalising silly design decisions also enhances gameplay, imho :)
< TauPan> (on the other hand, the adventurer is supposed to be "highly trained" whatever this means)
< Xavior> it means you were brainwashed
< Xavior> why else would anyone do this:)
< Mucknert> The pony devours a cute girl.
* madness devours a cute girl :P
< Zealot> This potion tastes like cute girl juice.
< madness> You have trouble finishing a cute girl. Continue Eating ?
* madness wants to stack cute girls :P
< madness> oh dear
< madness> the bad jokes could go on for days
< purge> so
< purge> lance is usefull
< purge> er
< purge> useLESS
< dtype> anybody else here a college kid in the bay area willing to work for cheap. :)
* dtype needs abusable interns.
< paxed> you do know you need good henchmen if you're trying to take over the world? i don't think college kids could muster enough evilness ;)
< dtype> paxed: they need to be geeky, but not smart enough to try to topple me as the leader of the evil plot
