<RogueCFW> hello
<RogueCFW> Can anyone help me?
<qt> with what?
<RogueCFW> a guy have doxed my gf
<RogueCFW> i need anyone can gave me his information
<qt> sorry but this is not a computer hacking channel
<RogueCFW> ohh...
<RogueCFW> sorry
<RogueCFW> thank u
* RogueCFW (~RogueCFW@net-2-45-97-66.cust.vodafonedsl.it) has left #nethack
<qt> i thought for sure that guy was going to have an actual nethack question
<qt> since he had "rogue" in the name
<jetjaguar> guys! can you help? I need to dox a guy who stole my amulet. Where is Rodney?

<Eldak> so if i have a room full of P, and i split one, do they push each other out into the hallway?
<argiopeweb> Eldak: Is there a reason that you're farming?
<Eldak> umm
<Eldak> so i can be cool
<raxvulpine> Lots of young people choose to experiment at some point in their lives.
<Eldak> like you guys
<argiopeweb> Eldak: That's a good enough reason for me.
<raxvulpine> "All the cool kids are doing it," they might say. In a society so permissive of acts like pudding farming, is it really any surprise that our nation's children are poking black masses of seething, roiling matter with metal rods?
<raxvulpine> We, nethack's moral majority, must take a stand on pudding farming and other atrocious practices --- like fountain quaffing. Without specifically illegalizing these practices, we cannot hope to contain them.

<Hecubus> [hdf-us] [evil] VaderFLAG (Kni Cen Mal Neu) wished for "blessed fixed +4200000000000000 silver lance of lightning", on T:33730
<K2> losing the 'bonus freebie' for not having to worry about how many artifacts exist is a fair trade
<K2> lol +42^12
<VaderFLAG> I don't have any scrolls of identification to check and see whether I got the enchantment :P
<K2> your weapon does so much damage, it kills everything dungeon wide when you hit something with it
<K2> including yourself
<K2> and anyone else playing on the server at that time

<K2> instead of chromatic dragon scales primary trinsic being pis res, make it MR
<amateurhour> piss res?
<K2> *poison
<K2> and piss
<amateurhour> oh lol
<K2> yes amateurhour, great idea
<K2> hahah
<amateurhour> that would certainly make the chromatic scales unique
<amateurhour> no other item protects you from it!
<K2> there arent any pee monsters
<K2> prob in slex, but not here
<Umbire> I mean the Tiamat fight is probably a load of pee
<amateurhour> yeah K2 there aren't any pee monsters in evilhack so it'd be harmless to add piss res to chromatic scales
<amateurhour> which gives it a unique reason to be worn
<amateurhour> which solves the problem
<amateurhour> good work team \o/

<terrapin> i've always felt that 'hi' is an odd choice of letters to start a conversation. 'ab' feels much more orthographically appropriate
<K2> or use yz instead of bye
<K2> ab!
<K2> yz!

<Loggers_VIII> ab?

<tenbeers> blargh, my terminal is wacky somehow. I can't see myself, I'm represented by no visible char at all.
<tenbeers> maybe that will work out if I save and come back in a new terminal.
<hothraxxa> you're invisible and don't have see invisible!
<tenbeers> I thought of that, but no, i didn't have a curser when I logged into the server either.
<tenbeers> some kind of fail in my terminal window
* aosdict gives tenbeers an arch-lich
<aosdict> there, there's your curser

<AmyBSOD\srn> "You hit the chickatrice. You turn to stone."
<AmyBSOD\srn> Of course the damn thing JUST had to come around a corner after I took off everything to be healed by this nurse, too.
<+jonadab> Right, you have to eat the lizard corpse immediately, not stand around doing other things while you turn to stone.
<+jonadab> And yes, being naked is dangerous in NetHack. You knew that.
<AmyBSOD\srn> Nah, if you punch one bare-handed, you simply die without a chance to save yourself.
<+jonadab> Oh, THAT kind of petrification.
<+jonadab> _Instant_ petrification.
<+jonadab> Yes.
<+raisse> it's avoidable
<+raisse> (unlike poison instadeath)
<+raisse> you have the choice not to punch it
<AmyBSOD\srn> poison instadeath seems pretty rare, and you can become resistant easily
<+raisse> define "easily" if there are dozens of Uruk-hai with poisoned arrows chasing you
<AmyBSOD\srn> they won't fire those arrows at point blank, so I just wait behind a corner :D
<AmyBSOD\srn> and for killer bees and stuff I can use the cheat code :P
<+raisse> AmyBSOD\srn: not all of us cheat
<AmyBSOD\srn> yeah but without the cheat code I'd just die
<AmyBSOD\srn> not sure what the strategy should be if you're chased by soldier ants that are faster than you, other than keeping them off with Elbereth
<[Demo][srn]> dying is a strategy
<[Demo][srn]> just saying
<+raisse\splat> yes, and? just don't tell people who don't cheat that it's "easy"
<[Demo][srn]> if elbereth is cheating then whys it in the game versions after it being fairly common knowledge?
<+raisse\splat> oh, I don't think elbereth is cheating, I thought amy had a real cheat code (as in: type xyzzy and blam! you're poison resistant)
<AmyBSOD\srn> naaaaah
<AmyBSOD\srn> I have to eat killer bee corpses and hope to become resistant, just like everyone else ;)

<aosdict> "a long sword imbued with blue dragon essence will shock enemies" ok but how do you lift the blue dragon corpse to get it to a forge :)
<aosdict> YAS?I: imbue things with tins of monster
<spicyCebolla> yasi granted: "By combining armor, weapon, or a weptool with a corpse or tin"
<aosdict> \o/
<spicyCebolla> figurines and masks work too
<qt> finally a use for all these newt figurines i've been hoarding
<amateurhour> YASI: it also changes the material of the weapon/etc to tin
<aosdict> how bout eggs
<aosdict> yes the pommel of this sword is a blue dragon egg. no it doesn't look ridiculous you look ridiculous

<NONOmaster> is it a good idea to polymorph my pet with a wand of polymorph?

<NONOmaster> can a electic eel kill a shopkeeper?

<spicyCebolla> Heliokopis: you're mildly famous over in ##nethack-variants
<Heliokopis> How so? I am incompetent.
<spicyCebolla> well the folks over in that channel tend to have like, every last detail/nuance of DNH memorized, to the point where they're like, planning out which goat to appease and how many arms they want to grow out of their knees and stuff like that
<spicyCebolla> whereas you ascend using gumption and knack
<spicyCebolla> so your games are kinda a useful yardstick of like, what a reasonable person might do, i think
<Heliokopis> lol. Thank you. That made my night.

<NCommander> LarienTelrunya, in D&D, mind flayers/illithid come from a future where they already took over the world :/
<LarienTelrunya> ah, I see (never played D&D)
<NCommander> LarienTelrunya, well I'm fairly sure it started with an Illithid scienist ascending into demigodhood after facing a close-to-impossible challenge to recover some amulet ;)
<LarienTelrunya> hahaha :D
<LarienTelrunya> wait, I ascended an illithid scientist in slex! is that what you're referring to? it was my first slexcension, too!
<NCommander> Yeah, that was it.
<LarienTelrunya> :D
<NCommander> And doomed the human race to servatiude!
<LarienTelrunya> ...what have I done

<Moult> Grasshopper: what rings do you attempt the end game with? previously i saw you had two increase damage rings
<Grasshopper> yeah, last game iirc they were +4 and +6 inc damage rings
<Grasshopper> that adds a raw +10 to each hit, in addition to other bonuses
<Grasshopper> so, I can live without (say) free action, because nothing really gets near me
<Grasshopper> or isn't there for very long anyway
<Grasshopper> It is the Blitzkreig approach to playing
<Shadow_Rider> ah yes another free action optional believer
<Shadow_Rider> we are a rare breed

<aosdict> belated happy thanksgiving
<NetSysFire> if you want to get stoned, eat stuffed chickatrice for dinner
<NetSysFire> maybe green mold stuffed chickatrice is fine to eat
<aosdict> you have to make sure to always get some green mold on the same bite as the meat
<aosdict> can't ever have a bite of pure meat
<Muad> you need a butler who sprinkles you with acid if you misbite

< khearn> Hmmm, I thought that would give the top streaks.
< WeiSong> It's Adeon with 29

<Adeon> can you start a SLEX game and die immediately
<Adeon> because that could be a nice challenge game
<Adeon> you start the game dead
<IriTheEerie> Here at SLEX, we treat all adventurers with equal amounts of disdain and haughty indifference.
<Bluescreen\ddpp> Adeon: it has happened to me once or twice. Dunno how though.
<IriTheEerie> Spawn on a rock trap?
<IriTheEerie> Do you start to drool, paralyzed?
<Bluescreen\ddpp> IIRC the "instadeath before you've moved" went something like this: lost soul, spawn in a haunted temple on Medusa's island, get killed by a random monster while stricken with fear of the "enormous" ghost.
<hackedhead> explosive brain aneurysm
 
#3759 (25) X December 9, 2021
<spicyCebolla> a water nymph stole my +4 shield and then died over water
<Ann> honestly that sounds like the beginning of some kind of song
<aosdict> could be reworked into ballad meter, "a nymph who stole my +4 shield and over water died..."
<jonadab> "... did drop it there, and on the floor of yonder pool it lies..."

<post163> Splice is my favorite variant due to the dragon rider - that's definitely my favorite non-vanilla role.
<antigulp> :)
<antigulp> Dragon rider is a good role and I stand by it.
<aosdict> @antigulp you're forgetting that post163 only likes dragon rider because it presents an exciting new steed to fall off and die on turn 1
<antigulp> I believe in catering to a multitude of playstyles

<ChrisE> The Moon should probably not try to eat any more food?
<Andrio> The Moon is Satiated
<ChrisE> It is probably more dangerous when it is Hungry.
<Andrio> Better hope it stays Satiated then.
<Andrio> Give it a ring of slow digestion.

Guest2042 | The acid blob vanishes. Death rises from the dead!
Guest2042 | Aw heck.  They fixed the "prevent Riders from respawning" trick?
Guest2042 | Or is the "vanished" acid blob just pushed somewhere else that I haven't filled yet?
Guest2042 | Whatever, I think I can handle these bozos.
Guest2042 | Mm, maybe.  They seem to be a lot cleverer than before.
Guest2042 | At your touch, the corpse suddenly moves... Death rises from the dead! Death vanishes. Pestilence rises from the dead!
Guest2042 | I don't even know WHAT is going on now.
Guest2042 | Death tapped out for a bit.
ChrisE | I guess when Pestilence rose from the dead it displaced Death... and I think you did find Death on the map, so it was a teleport rather than a removal.
Guest2042 | Yeah, Death got tired of being beat up and tagged out in favor of Pestilence and Famine.
Guest2042 | But he's back for more!
