4th Annual NetHack Tournament

Posted by michael on from the twas-brillig dept.

fatquack writes "The NetHack tournament season is upon us once again. /dev/null's Fourth Annual NetHack Tournament has just opened. As with past years, the Tournament is open to anyone who'd like to play. We're also open to anyone who'd like to volunteer to run a game server since, though we have a T1 hosting the main game server, play can be slow across the transoceanic links. devnull.net is a loose association of networking geeks, unincorporated and noncommercial. We just do this for giggles; we make no money from this other than what folks feel like donating. The prize structure going in, as we're always open to suggestions to change this during the Tournament, is: Prizes The "standard" prizes will go to: Highest Score 1st, 2nd and 3rd Highest Score in each class The "additional" prizes will go to: Most Ascensions Lowest Scored Ascension This year's Tournament will begin with servers in California and Oregon, but with servers in Colorado, The Netherlands and Australia hopefully coming online in the first few days."

      Nethack is one of the greatest games ever made, even if you can't understand it.

      Just fuck off, you short-haired yellow-bellied son-of-Bush Windows yuppie.

    I think that most people who love it do so because it is open source, not because it is a good game. Then again, I hate D&D, so I guess I'm in the minority here. Also, my penis is longer than 3 inches. I must be a god to all you communist hippies. Anyway, have fun wasting your lives away on some gay little game. Look at me! I'm Nethack!
