Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup - The Soupening

Got my 2nd win ever and my first during a Tournament!!!

https://crawl.kelbi.org/crawl/morgue...

My tournament is over. Five wins but ultimately disappointed when my Gargoyle Fighter of The Shining One went down in a storm of hellfire with ten runes tucked in his back pocket. Oh well, no extended win this time around. Still, overall, had lots of fun picking up DCSS for the first time in a while.

Dang, Copingsaw. You're a beast! I got only my one win and lost a few promising ones to hubris. I'm glad I at least got to see some new things in this version, and I actually like the changes they've made. Good riddance to hunger.

And I'm privately chuffed that the devs must have seen my simple macro suggestion on Reddit from 2 years ago, adopted it as canon, and made it way awesomer.

Well, I don't think I will make it through the rest of this run in before the tournament ends (15 minutes, lol!). It's the furthest I've ever made it! Got two runes and am in Depths 2 currently. I'll try to finish it later on, I guess. No idea what to expect if I end up making it to Zot.

MiFi of Qazlal

Very fun so far! Currently, tabbing through everything which means I'm bound to die very soon to hubris!!!

Guess I won't be playing in the tournament much this time then. On vacation until the 8th of August.

I hot my one tournament win this year already, I will probably be out.

Reading the changenotes left me completely uninspired to play Crawl at all. Not that I think any of the changes are bad, in fact I have no opinion about or reference for almost all of them, but rather because I am just over roguelikes in general and Crawl in particular for the conceivable future.

Since there seems like there is little interest to play in the 0.27 tournament here (which I understand), I just created a "team" named "GWJ".

If anyone is interested in playing, just add # TEAMCAPTAIN tboon and DM me and I will add you.

I’ll definitely play at least a few games. Count me in.

For what it’s worth, I really dig the Djinn Fire Elementalist of Makhleb - at least early game. I worry about late game.

I will definitely play some games. Thanks tboon!

You guys are added. merphle, I assumed (yeah I know what that means ) lower case name, let me know if that is wrong.

I haven't gotten any characters past the mid-teens this tournament, but I also haven't really been putting a ton of effort in. Lots of O'Tabbing.

This just happened, though, and it was quite satisfying:

Edit: Also, every time I see the new Hydra tile, I think it looks like a head of broccoli.

A few changes merged to trunk, including a new god: Ignis.

Apparently there's another version release and tourney this coming week: http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/trunk-updates-17-january-2022-and-tournament-announcement

The changes all look drastic enough that I wouldn't mind doing a game or two. Anyone else want to form a team?

I am always down.

No time right now, but good luck!

Went ahead and added a 0.28 page to our Crawl Spreadsheet.

I'll volunteer to be a captain.

Wow, this is awful to play on your phone.

Guess I gotta play on my computer.

Ugh fiiiiiiiiine, twist my arm why don't ya.

Warm-up game turned into a win:

1647007 math the Slayer (level 27, 269/269 HPs)
Began as a Hill Orc Fighter on Jan 20, 2022.
Was a High Priest of Beogh.
Escaped with the Orb
... and 3 runes on Feb 2, 2022!

The game lasted 04:49:01 (70198 turns).

Beogh is really fun/good in the midgame, but falls apart in Zot. Draconian breath attacks just shred your orcy buddies, and don't get me started on OoFs...

I can never seem to keep my orcs alive and strong past Vaults, and then peter out once I am solo, but I love the general idea.

Looks like the tournament starts Feb 4. I'm always down as well.

I did put my name in.

I shall toss my hat into the ring as well.

The tournament has commenced. It's not a super rush, but we probably ought to figure out teams for our (currently) 7 listed players, sometime within the next week.

Since I've already volunteered to be a captain, I'll take those people who've indicated that they don't want to be captains (senkrad, quasichaos, clumber). You remaining three (merphle, tboon, zaque) can decide which of you wants to be captain of the other team. Sound good?

Sounds like a plan. I'll even volunteer to captain the second-stringers GWJ - The Abyss Stared Back. Tboon and Zaque, I've added you to my rcfile as members for now; no hard feelings if you'd prefer to be on Math's team.

Remind me again, what's the command to list all the items in the game with the toggle to show me what I've identified?

:thumbsup:
Will add you as captain when I get home tonight.

Good luck everyone!
