you get tournament points for zigging, but they cap out at "beat a single zig in one of your games", as best i can tell.

Got a second win for the ZeeZeeMeatls and my second online win ever!  Bog-standard VSBE, had some very very nice drops, nothing really rough anywhere in the game. Nice easy run. I mostly did it because I saw that I held the combo high score for a couple days, and figured, you know, whoever takes that from me should have to at least get a win. Looks like someone else already exceeded me before I ever got there, but you know, whatever it takes to squeeze out a win, hehe. pre:1849216 neongrey the Slayer (level 27, 117/117 HPs)

Are mutations weighted toward affecting ones you've already got? I swear that the last few runs as a Demonspawn the mutation potions have given me boosts in the innate mutations, which is so boring?

i dunno when the 'convert or die' mechanic got added in but it inspired me to give a beogh worshiper a serious try and now that i've actually gotten far enough for rune acquisition to be within sights i gotta ask on the off chance i'm wrong: bringing my worshiper pals to shoals would be an awful idea wouldn't it

Tournament progress update: The first game I played in the tourney was a Nemelex Choice, which I won. Of the chars that PleasingFungus played that made it to XL10, he splatted 4 in a row before eking out a win. After killing a Halfling that made it to XL17 (his second death in a row of an XL16+ character), he came to the dev channel to try to start a discussion about removing Halflings. These are all facts.

Dick move Crawl. If you find a wand of heal wounds, but it's empty, the game will not flag it for auto-pickup. On a total fluke, I did a search for 'Heal Wounds' on the game, and it showed that wand, sitting there, never picked up. It's an extremely small QoL change, but I think making tele/HW/Haste autopickup, even when empty, is a good idea.

I agree, but not tele, which I don't think has been important since item destruction was removed.

There's like 2 uniques in the whole game that use silence, plus silent spectres which are easy and only show up in like what. pan, abyss and crypt? I think I can count the number of times I've sincerely been threatened by silence(that weren't because of me myself using SIlence) on one hand, and minus one scary Mennas encounter they were all in extended which I barely do anymore. Mennas in particular I think is the only relevant threat, but lately now with all the awesome evocables in the game whenever I get to the point where he shows up I'm gonna have ~15 evo and at least one of box of beasts, sack of spiders, rechargeable elemental evoc, rod of shadows etc., and just kinda by the way that Crawl works lone melee targets get beaten pretty hard whenever you gang up on them with decent allies. Silent Spectres I don't think I've ever been threatened by outside of a Zig, and the 1 extra turns blurry vision takes doesn't matter much for popping tele unless you super hosed up(and even having 1 tier of blurry vision is already a very specific circumstance which doesn't happen that often, I'm not gonna plan around what works well with multiple tiers). So if I pick up a wand just because against 1 specific unique, it will let me get away, when I think that said unique already gets beaten out without too much trouble by a decent build if you get items which you probably will by that point of the game... that's not really anywhere near the broad, incredibly useful utility that a wand of Heal Wounds or Haste gives me.

There's also Ereshkigal and while Silent Spectres themselves are easy they can be blocked off by walls while more dangerous silence-immune demons fight you. Having a wand also allows you to use scrolls/the spell silence without worrying that you have no escape, which is great for handling greater mummies.

Wands of teleport are useful. One slot for more teleport isn't a huge deal, and it's a pretty easy drop if your inventory gets really crowded. I wouldn't want them on autopickup and I'd almost never waste a recharge scroll on them, but they have decent utility. Silent Spectres only appear in abyss (super rare) and Tartarus.

So I've been complaining about a problem for months and nobody's paid any attention to me, so I'm going to use a visual aid to help explain what I'm talking about so hopefully it can get fixed. So in the past when I would use X > to autotravel to a lower staircase it would choose the closest staircase by how many steps it takes to walk to it. In the case of the image I posted, it would choose the stairs to my right, being the closest stairs on foot. Lately it's been choosing the closest stairs regardless of whether or not there are walls in the way. In the example it would be the stairs southwest of me. Now this isn't all that big of a deal to me as I just need to hit the > again to select the better stairs, and I'm not losing much satiation if I forget to do that, and it's honestly not that common for a level to be laid out in a way that makes this come up, but if I were a speedrunner I'd be annoyed if I were to lose points because a system stopped paying attention to walls. I mostly just want it fixed because it worked better in the past and it'd be a shame for it to get worse and remain that way.

Here's a thing I haven't had to think of for awhile. How do I restore stats? In the back of my head, Restore Abilities potions are always a thing I have a lot of at this stage in the game, until I realized they aren't there any more. So uh...how do I fix this?
