  1. Re:OOPS. on 4th Annual NetHack Tournament · · Score: 3, Funny

    Looks like it had an Amulet of Lifesaving after all, it's running again.

  2. Re:4th Annual NetHack Tournament and cheaters on 4th Annual NetHack Tournament · · Score: 5, Informative

    First: the team of the tournament are rather experienced coders themself. Second: there is no client executable, the games run on the (dedicated) servers. You just use SSH or even Telnet to play. And if you want to walk through walls, just polymorph yourself in a Xorn :-)

  3. Re:and some other "Hoo'd Win" topics... on Superhero Smackdown · · Score: 1

    And you should never mention a tripod or geocities website on /. either. Kaboom!

  4. Re:Write up I sent to the office on First Worm with a EULA? · · Score: 1

    You are correct. And some nerve would be an understatement, this is a classical case of gotspe (for those without a dictionary: a gotspe is killing your parents and then asking the judge for leniency because you are an orphan).

    So stop breaking the law, naughty you!

  6. Re:The most important question on Mandrake 9.0 (Dolphin) Is Available [updated] · · Score: 1

    See, that version hasn't been upgraded to 3.4.0 yet, so the poor Mandrake users have to do without the latest of the greatest. :-)

  7. Heretic!!!! on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    How dare you call Angband the best when everybody know there is only Dungeon Crawl and it's name is NetHack, amen!
    May the RNG (praise be upon they name) smite thee, infidel!

    I will name the next purple worm after you before I slay it.

    And NetHack is of course available for Win32 on www.nethack.org for downloading.

  8. The most important question on Mandrake 9.0 (Dolphin) Is Available [updated] · · Score: 1

    Which version of NetHack does it contain? It is not on the packagelist.
