There's still time to join team Nemelex' Fan Club & Casino! Or to change your mind and get out for that matter! The rules are simple: only play Nemelex' Choice characters. If a member can't take it anymore (a likely scenario, the combos tend to be abject garbage), please inform me in the thread so I can drop them from the team. No skill required! Only the house wins at Nemelex' Fan Club & Casino! I got rid of the "'don't start characters that have already been won 8 times" part of the rules. I'm not going to waste time policing it, so might as well not have the rule. If you want to play a Nemelex' Choice character without the faint hope of 75 bonus points and a spiffy pink banner, knock yourselves out! In real life preferably! membership posted:# TEAMCAPTAIN StoryTimeSA

Internet Kraken posted:Ahahaha the first Nem combo is Octopode Warper. Good luck with that garbage. Actually doing pretty well here! Early hep altar, buckler of protection and an amulet of reflection +6 pushed me through the early game. Got snake rune, snake wasn't that scary even though no rPois spawned. Team mates haven't been as lucky, there are piles of octopode corpses between D1-D6. Octopodes really want that ~5 AC in the early game. Edit: I can't overstate how good an early hep altar is for a bad start. I can't think of another god that makes such a dramatic difference right off the bat. The ancestor will both let you beat things you couldn't before, and allows escapes by distracting enemies. For no cost at all. StoryTime fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Nov 5, 2016 |

Thanks to everyone who played for team Nemelex' Fan Club & Casino! The team gimmick was to only play Nemelex' Choice characters. The goals for the team, which of there were none, were met with flying colors! All team members managed to get the first level of Nemelex' Choice banner (get to level 9). I, as the team captain, managed the second level banner (got a rune). MVP goes to dpeg, who brought two glorious orbs for the team: an Octopode Warper of Gozag, and a Formicid Conjurer of Vehumet! This also got him the 3rd level banner! Wow! The following Nemelex' Choices were available, I've commented the ones I played: OpWr //At least the first one wasn't a mummy or a splatcat. Octopodes are fine if you get a ring of protection early on. HEAr, KoIE, DDAE, CeVM, HOWz, GrEn, GhCj // Ghoul is a good race. I dropped the nerd book and went with unarmed combat. I had the best run of the tournament when I landed Jivya from a faded altar. Then Sonja abyssed me with a distortion dagger and I got owned by trashing horrors. FeAK, VSSu, DEHu, VpAK, HaSu, TeAM, SpMo, FoCj // An interesting mix, and I appreciate Searing Ray a lot more than I used to. Digging into a wall and chain casting Searing Ray gets you out of a considerable amount of trouble. Even more if you're worshipping Sif Muna and get free casts. MfEE, TrVM, DDSk, HaFE, VSAM, HOTm, GhBe // Trog is pretty good even when you can't berserk and go unarmed. SpAE, DECK // This was a very bad dark time. Worshipping xom isn't as bad as it used to be, but with a race that has a weak start and needs a focused build, it's miserable. DDIE, TeAK // Lugonu's abyssing power is dumb good, and even with a Tengu I should have made it work. Best attempt still ended at lair because I chose to die instead of using the dumb good power. VpEE, FoNe // Last chance, and I had a good one going. Starting and managing a good Death Channel horde takes concentration though, and being drunk and under a time pressure didn't help. KoTm I hope the Nemelex' Choice only team becomes a forums tradition, like the Ogrecoming team. If anyone wants to do this dumb gimmick in the next tournament as well, the following players will have reserved seats for sticking with it until the end: StoryTime, Grimm and dpeg.

So High Elves bit it, huh? I feel a bit nostalgic, since HEFE was my first 3 rune win. I personally don't mind the change though, I think it's fine that sometimes old stuff is thrown out and new stuff is put in. The only thing I'm wondering is what are we supposed to recommend for new players who want to try out casters? High elf elementalists seemed to be the go-to training wheels caster characters. Should there be a training wheels caster option? Ogres are not it, I don't care what the new spell aptitudes are. Deep elves aren't it either, they're way too unforgiving. Maybe just human, or kobold? I don't know, I don't play that much straight up blasters.

Womyn Capote posted:Any fun suggestion for a noob that isn't just something like troll berzerker or whatever. Every time i've played this with "easy" characters i've just gotten bored real fast. euphronius posted:Try a fighter that uses invocations. So Makleb, the good gods, etc. Yes, Invo fighters are very fun. Pick something like a Hill Orc, and grab the first altar of an Invocations heavy god you see. Or just start as an Abyssal Knight, plenty of different characters work well with Lugonu. StoryTime fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Dec 16, 2016 |
