There's a tournament starting on February 4th and running for 16 days if anyone wants to participate. You can play on any server, so you don't need to deal with SSH key generation bullshit. Setting up a team is as simple as designating a captain, and figuring out a team name. Teams can be up to 6 players. There's usually a fun slew of challenges to get you to try weird, not necessarily optimal things. You get bonus points for things like killing player ghosts or playing uncommon race/class combinations. The full slew of bonus challenges haven't been announced yet, but here's an example from last year: https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.27/ Vadun fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Jan 29, 2022 |

trying new races lately. i keep forcing every guy into a minotaur shaped hole but if it works? it works. also won my first 0.28 run but it was a pathetic 3 runer (as a MiFi no less!!!!) so i'm not posting it. the extended endgame is waaay harder in .28, like the hell force can irresistably drain you for 75 hp if it feels like it, each branch has a nasty constant effect (-8 corr, will/2, rC-, or rF-) and all the trash mobs are replaced with new branch specific elites. i think loot generation is worse also, you get a lot more artefacts with downsides compared to .27. i'm annoyed by how strong each hell branch is now, but i guess it pretty much was a victory lap for most of my endgame characters before so it had to change.

there's a lot of fun new enemies in .28, like these books that cast living spells at you so you can get shot by 5 crystal spears at once or these dudes in tartarus that mesermerize you and always spawn with guys that fear you, so you can be stuck in place lol (and tartarus puts a constant will/2 penalty on you so they pretty much will always get their casts off)

never made the phish fan/orc connection before but now I see it. a proud tribe with low standards of hygiene, slavishly devoted to gods with little appeal outside of their crude, animalistic society... (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I keep losing promising characters to getting paralysed like an idiot. I tried the Delver background as a change of pace and it's pretty funny - you start on D:5 but have some extra consumables to help you, so it's a kind of mad dash back up to the surface, trying to avoid all the enemies that you're horribly underlevelled for. I'm guessing that it probably ends up with you splatting a lot, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, I've managed to get back up two out of the three times I tried it. If you're really lucky you could end up getting your god really early as well, although I haven't done that yet.

They hosed with the level curve and removed another level from depths. Didn't even get to hit the level cap.

 Finally got 15 runes (on .27). Deep Dwarf fighter of Makhleb. Figured out that the key to victory in Tomb is Necromutation + Scroll of Immolation + Polar Vortex. It just wipes everything.

I couldn’t even reach lair with my octocel transmuter so I’m gonna go back to my roots with Minotaur Berserker and maybe go for 15 rune for the first time ever

I looked up the release notes and it just says the monsters can "launch opportunistic attacks on fleeing players" which is a bit vague. there's a 33% chance that an adjacent jerk will get a free attack on you if you move away from them, but only if your movement speed isn't faster than theirs. potions of haste and poo poo like that help you get clean getaways from anything that's not, like, a swarm of angry bees or Donald or something

They get the free attack but also keep up with you. Basically running once you're engaged in melee is a very bad idea which makes things like early ogres or even a misjudged orc warrior awful. It also means that if you're fighting something that's tough but not dangerous on its own and something else wanders up, you're in trouble if you want to retreat to a choke point. So you gotta retreat proactively which is boring. Tramplers suck a lot more too
