Yep, Xgamer4 is my crawl name, too.Since I apparently got overlooked, why don't you add me to the Blacksmiths? I'm AlStar over there too.
I've also gotten my file updated so that the Bay12 Blacksmiths exists - http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.18/clans/xgamer4.html.
I'll keep an eye out for anyone joining and get my file updated when I see something.
OK... since you seem to know what you're doing to some degree, can you quickly go over what needs to be done?
My understanding is that we need to insert a little header into our RC file with our team name and captain, and the captain needs to have the team name and the rest of the team members. Is that correct?
# TEAMNAME nameofteam
# TEAMMEMBERS player1 player2 player3 player4 player5
# TEAMNAME Bay12_Blacksmiths
# TEAMMEMBERS AlStar IcyTea
# TEAMCAPTAIN nameofcaptain
# TEAMCAPTAIN Xgamer4
OK, Dozebom and Gamedragon are on the intermediate team. I made Doz the captain, so I guess that solves your problem with being captain of a one man team.
I'm not seeing anyone else on the champions team, the blacksmiths members are showing. Is it possible something's wrong in your RC vactor?
Well. Apparently Crystal Guardians do more damage with their melee attacks then their spell ones, at least with decent elemental resistances. Like, 2-3 times as much damage. I was not prepared for that much of a discrepancy. I think I got minimum AC roll too, but still. Major miscalculation. There goes my best game so far. Bleh.

they do, I also avoid elf 3 before lvl 25, its a scary place.
Was going to watch you play but can't find you on any of the servers
Elf definitely seems harder in this version. I did it before entering any of the Lair sub-branches, and I was lucky to survive. Those elementalists can summon a ridiculous amount of earth elementals (I've had 12+ on screen at once from just two of the fuckers) which can annihilate your cover. It's such a pain in the arse - they talk about wanting to avoid luring, and then they make it even more necessary!
Also put Tegga on Champions, he's definitely one of our best players (your 0.15 tournament results were very impressive mate).
It's a shame Ultraviolent4 didn't sign up this time either; he hasn't posted here much, but he consistently kicks ass in the tournaments - but in the last two it's been for other teams! :P

Added to another server just in case, here's the line
# TEAMCAPTAIN Vactor
OK Aoi, I added you to the champs team, let me know if you'd rather be on another, but you said you've gotten some wins, so you meet the criteria.
I'm assuming your crawl name is Aoi as well?
I'm also a crawl player (same nickname in crawl servers). Too bad I've seen tourney starting too late, otherwise I'd be hapily joining in it. Good luck for all! :)

Next to the button that says 'DCSS 0.18' is a button that says '(edit rc)'. Open the file and put "# TEAMCAPTAIN jwoodward48ss" as the very first line of it, without quotes.

The Shoals, IMO, are one of the more persuasive reasons to go Gargoyle. Unbreathing + flight lets you shrug off lots of the more annoying aspects and extra AC never really goes amiss. Combined with the fact that poison immunity makes Snake/Spider fairly trivial, and Gargoyles are really freaking good for that alone.
Tiruin, please confirm if that is your crawl username as well.Squeak! ._. Yes it will be! I shall just sign onto the public server and make/register an account soon-ish (Thanks Icy T). Just that Finals are happening and I'll maybe have completed it soon. Someday.

Oooh almost missed the DCSS tourney yet again, never yet managed to make it to one.Eep .-. I thought the tournament was until the 20th? I won't be able to make a game until Wednesday next week!
Theres about 11 hours left on the clan window-thing and the three listed are full so I might have to solo unless someone pops up before it closes tonight. Dont mind who wants to join, I'll be lifting my normal combo restrictions so should bag a fistful of wins with an eye to streaking, but I dont mind at all how experienced others are as crawlers.
If theres anyone out there still looking, give me a yell. (celem/celem)

I'd forgotten how annoying it is to not be able to heal normally (as a deep dwarf.) I was using Elyvilon to keep my health topped off, which was working great up through Shoals:4 (Shoals - again! Why?!) followed by working my way through Spider and getting stuck with a very annoying Spider:4. Now I've managed to burn my piety down from 4* to 0*, and I'm all out of easy dungeon to explore. I fear running out of MP; burning it all to recharge my wand of healing.
The real question is if it's worth incurring Elyvilon's wrath to switch to either Makhleb (for health on kill) or to Pakellas (for wand recharging that doesn't take permanent MP.)
Yes the tournament runs through to the 20th, but the window for adding the rcfile lines and joining a 'clan' closes today.Woo ._.; Glad for your post IcyTea! And thanks celem--just scrambled to make an account because I did not apparently...read the deadline.
Look here (http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.18/clans/jwoodward48ss.html) for your clan's scoreboard.I checked ^ ^
You don't seem to be on it, but then again you don't appear on the full player list (http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.18/all-players.html) either. Make sure you've started a game (even just created a character, moved a tile and saved and quit) and give it some time.
yeah but your min delay on your bardiche (or scythe of curses), executioners axe or triple crossbow kicks in at 26, so there is no real pressing need to have Okie lift you up to 27... 26 is fine.Gonna dissent a little here. Go for 22 and let heroism carry you to cap. Your point on mindelay is well-founded, but by the time you get that far you are lategame and facing a lot of Drain. If you only took 21 and get at all drained you lose your mindelay. A little buffer lets you go rN++ without immediately bombing out in performance if the drain happens.

I am sporadically online and remembering bits and pieces through every death along the lines of 'OH I remember this, I used to do {strategy} before an- Oh I died ._. Well let's learn again.' since I was able to get the Orb and get out a lot of versions ago.Woo, I've finally reached the Lair (in between study times T_T). I am ultimately very rusty, I now see. :D

I could watch you and give you some tips if you want to send me a message if you have time to play today, generally if you can get to the bottom of the lair you can win the game
I've been gifted Gloves of Archery (Great! If I wasn't heavily invested in maces/flails and shields, and haven't touched ranged weapons) and Steam Dragon Armor (Great! If it was almost literally any other kind of dragon).

Isn't it hard to be online on the same server as the other person playing? :-X
MR(+9) isn't a thing, it was probably MP +9. MR would show up as MR+ or MR++ or something like that. Not that it sounds terribly relevant at this point.I've been gifted Gloves of Archery (Great!

I think we should just replace Oka with Xom. He keeps giving me shadow dragon armor (err.... thanks?) and incredible daggers. And once a quicksilver dragon armor, which would've been pretty cool, if I wasn't already rocking MR+(9) because that's all the resistances I ever got that run...
wait
there are demonspawn in orc:2 now?
i've been away from this game too long
Yeah, it was an Orc end vault with a portal to fucking pan and several demonspawn
managed to clear it without any trouble because lazy mifi game

Interesting. I didn't know you could find Pan entrances outside the depths.
They still DO have the Potion of beneficial mutation right? I only got one cure mutation, and am currently floundering between Elven Halls (going to the 2nd floor), going further in the Lair (going to 3), or traversing the depths (currently at dungeon 12).

The game lasted 09:47:27 (89435 turns).
The XP budget is certainly tighter nowWhile I'm comparing from 0.7, I've never felt this underleveled before ._. I've finished all branches but the Tomb, Pan, Hell, and Zot 5 and I have no skill up to 27.
@Tiruin:I want moar genetic drift mutations though! T_T Where else can I shift to TSO and train while waiting for that to happen?
Zin gives 100% rMut at max piety. You should at least be able to do Abyss just fine, although I'm not sure how Zin stands up to Pan.
Screw trying to have an interesting character, I want to bash in heads and win games, dammit.I feel like a squiggly ant now. What with the 70k+ turns I've spent doing things like stash and run. xD
Also is it possible to show my current, living character at the present here?
And we've got another death to that fucking hellion vault. I keep forgetting they're fast, so they get more then one Damnation per turn if you engage for long enough. Not that I'd probably have lasted long afterwards, honestly. A bardiche does NOT do enough damage quickly enough to justify the death from a thousand cuts that lacking a shield inflicts on you, even with Haste.

More stuff I don't understand... I thought shields are even more useless in Extended than everywhere else, what with their inability to block any of:
- Bolt spells: Bolt of Fire, Bolt of Cold, Lightning Bolt, Bolt of Draining, Venom Bolt, Bolt of Magma, Bolt of Inaccuracy, Shock
- Explosions: Fireball, Hellfire, Fire Storm, Ice Storm, Conjure Ball Lightning, Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, exploding-branded weapons
- Other electricity-based beams: Chain Lightning
- Enchantments: Agony, Pain, etc
- Other ranged attacks that are not beams: Shatter, Tornado, Airstrike, Smite, Ozocubu's Refrigeration.
So most of the dangerous stuff (like for instance, that lovely Hellfire) bypasses shields completely, and even for stuff shields do block, they are only really effective like, once per turn, so its not like they are helping you much if you get surrounded by melee bruisers either???
I mean sure, my casters wear bucklers, but my melee dudes? Will a shield really improve my melee dudes survivability?
Is it possible to play the tournament with tiles? I can't be bothered with ascii anymore.
And UC w/shield is almost exactly the same in damage output as UC without shield.
Wait, are you sure about that? It definitely didn't used to be the case, but I never read the changelogs that thoroughly.
Also just to do a drive-by on this whole 'What weapon' thing, you can never go wrong with Blade Hands.
Same goes for Formicids, however I can attest that...And UC w/shield is almost exactly the same in damage output as UC without shield.

As of the last version or few, shields don't decrease UC speed, but you still lose your offhand punch, which is... what, up to a quarter of your damage?
Given my experiences with a reflection amulet unique (unsure if shields have the reflect brand now), my shield can reflect AND block bolt spells (how many times I've had the calming humor of seeing several bolts being reflected back to their owners...), but it can't reflect any of the rest or block them.And we've got another death to that fucking hellion vault.

Even blocking one hit a turn[And shields block more then that] adds up. The problem I was having was in long drawn out fights that bled my mediocre merfolk hp bit by bit with hits that snuck through my EV until I had to burn absurd amounts of consumables to survive. This is a situation that I ran into a lot less with my traditional sword and boarders. It wasn't so much in Extended as it was in Depths and Zot and such, which left me with far less consumables then I was used to and thus made me doubt my ability to survive Extended with less resources.
That said, I do still maintain that Eveningstar + shield > Great mace. There's no way two points of extra base damage are worth taking more damage. Long blades are iffier, but I'd say the advantage is still with sword and board. And UC w/shield is almost exactly the same in damage output as UC without shield. It definitely does not work that way with polearms, since a Bardiche does six more points of base damage then the useless demon trident and axes have almost as big a gap between their best one-handed and best two-handed.
There's a linkie in the server list that saysIs it possible to play the tournament with tiles? I can't be bothered with ascii anymore.
I've been playing at http://crawl.akrasiac.org:8080/#lobby which uses tiles.
Graphical play via WebSocket: WebTilesAnd clicking the WebTiles brings you to the server that uses said tiles. I've been playing fully on tiles since ever (since multiple types of monsters spawned using the same letter and my color-visualization hasn't improved T_T). I've been playing on this link to the Australian Server (https://crawl.project357.org/).

Am also still lost in flailing around on what is the better (less-mutationable) training area to go to (in my last post), or that I can just get the orb and run for it... :-\
And how on earth is the 15th shortest-number-of-turns also a 15-rune win?!
