lordfrikk: Mar 11, 2010; Oh, say it ain't fuckin' so,
you stupid fuck!

Incidentally, yesterday I downloaded the very first version of Stone Soup out of curiosity. I started playing around 0.7 or 0.8 so I still remember the removal of mountain dwarves (never forget :argh:

) but what is funny to me, apparently there were even more dwarves and elves in the old versions of yore. Hill Dwarves, Elves (no adjective), Grey Elves and the I guess more known Sludge Elves who got the axe later. At this point I realized it's really hard to get any info about these old features, the wiki is poor at best and the learndb doesn't go much further than maybe 0.8 and usually doesn't include much description or reasoning for removal. It might be a pretty boring reading but I'd be kinda interested in reading a history of crawl with commentary on why stuff was removed, redone or added. I don't see anyone taking on this foolish endeavor of scouring the commit logs, though, and I can hardly blame anyone for not remembering every single detail of the game's development.

Screenshot of the race list:

Obviously some classes alse got cut but I don't see people talking about those as much as the removed races.

e: have some more:

interface

old experience system

command list

Heithinn Grasida: Mar 28, 2005; ...must attack and fall upon them with a gallant bearing and a fearless heart, and, if possible, vanquish and destroy them, even though they have for armour the shells of a certain fish, that they say are harder than diamonds, and in place of swords wield trenchant blades of Damascus steel...

Since it seems no one has done this yet, then I suppose the duty falls upon me. By ancient tradition, I am now announcing the SA ogreteam Ogrecoming Adversity. This is the team for ogres. It is the team for people who like to crush things as hard as possible with tree trunks and smash them with big rocks. Do you like crushing? Do you like smashing? Then please join this team! Do you like seeing (rather, in the spirit of Crawl I should say, "vaguely guessing at") very large damage numbers, completely without regard for efficiency? If so, then please join this team! Do you like having a huge pile of hit points and losing them extremely quickly? Please join! Do you like a complex, rewarding play style that encourages careful strategic decisions and offers surprisingly versatile and powerful characters that still die instantly because they have no defense? Then get big, get fat, and become an ogre today!

Ogrecoming Adversity does not discriminate on the basis of Crawl experience or skill. Players of all levels are welcome. Our only request is that you be the biggest, fattest, burliest ogre possible. Nerdy spellcasting ogres are just as welcome as big dumb ogre berserkers, as long as you remember that as an ogre, your holy duty in this world is to crush and smash.

Becoming an Ogre is associated with certain health risks such as terminally low AC and EV. Therefore, ogres that are hacked to pieces by ugly snake people or foul fish people are still considered successful ogres. Ogres attain to glory by their big, fat, muscular bodies and by smashing and crushing, not by retrieving the Orb of Zot. Thus, though it goes without saying, Ogrecoming Adversity is not a team for people who play for points.

If you feel bigness, fatness, smashing and crushing are your calling in your Crawl life, then please add this line to your a relevant RC file:

# TEAMCAPTAIN huiren

Right now I am the only lonely, but still huge, fat and powerful ogre on the team. I greatly look forward to more ogresisters and ogrebrothers who would like to smash and crush together with me.
