For emphasis: clan membership lines should be added to your crawl.akrasiac.org 0.9 rcfile. Even if you're playing your games on crawl.develz.org, you must add clan membership information to your crawl.akrasiac.org 0.9 rcfile.

Wait, so are user name/account data shared between CDO and CAO? I always assumed they were separate.

If the tournament scoring is similar to last time, you don't have to win to get a reasonable score; you can get points for things like killing uniques and player ghosts, or getting the highest (game) score for obscure species/background combos.

The downside of this is that it tends to reward quantity over quality - eg if you play 100 games where you get to the temple then die, but kill a few ghosts or uniques on the way each time, you could end up with more points than someone who plays 1 game and wins.

Anyway, if there are a lot of players in the expert category, I'd quite happily drop down a level, as I should be able to play a reasonable amount during the tournament, but can't guarantee I'll be able to spend as much time as some people.

Also, someone mentioned that their account is on CDO. For tourney play, does a CDO account work, or does the account need to be on CAO? I'm not sure.


AFAIK, in previous tournaments both CAO and CDO accounts worked (and Webtiles in the latest tournament.) I would assume it will be the same this time but I'm not certain

Ok, I'd like to be in this time. I have won a couple of times (my first was during the last tournament) but I cannot do so consistently. I've never won in 0.9, however; it seems like a lot of the spells and tricks I relied on have been nerfed or removed.

Anyway, hope 0.9 gets officially released in time for the tournament...

There need to be more games where you get to be a zombie, rather than just shoot them.

Is that the vault with the Lernaean Hydra? I would have thought it was pretty hard to kill with a sling...

I brought the long sword and bow. The bow is grayed out, meaning I can't use it. I already know its the Storm Bow (due to the description), so I want to add it to my collection.

Kobolds can't use bows? I thought it was just longbows - makes me wonder why they have +1 aptitude if they can't use them. ???

Add Mountain Dwarf Conjurer to the list - THEY CAN USE MAGMA.

(at least if conjurers still start with the same spell books in trunk as 0.7)

Hey, cool game, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I won my first game fairly easily on Normal - here's to lots of Fun (in the DF sense of the word) on the harder difficulties..

So what's the best way to train stealth?

I've been trying a kobold assassin, have turned off all skills except stealth and stabbing, and am trying to stab monsters whenever possible, but still all my experience seems to be going into short blades and dodging.

Been thinking about a kenku transmuter, based on the theory that beak + talons + blade hands = awesome unarmed combat damage.

The EV bonus from flight should also help.

On the other hand, kenku get low HP and are pretty bad at transmutations.

My question is: do they lose their flying ability if transformed into a form that cannot fly, eg spider, ice or statue form?

And a slightly related question: Do centaurs gain any speed advantage from spider form, or are they already faster in their natural form?

Starved to death after teleporting into an area of the dungeon with no exits.
Crawl? Did you maybe just not find the hidden door in time?

Also, my vote for best death goes to nade to pole. That's pretty "D'oh"!"

Actually no, while I've been playing Crawl a lot recently, this was Sangband (an Angband variant with crawl-type skills instead of character classes.) And there really were no exits; once it became clear I was doomed, I cheated and used debug mode to reveal the dungeon.

Argh, just lost my best attempt yet (level 20 Kenku Reaver of Vehumet) on level 4 of the Shoals due to not one but TWO really stupid mistakes.

First mistake: forgot that a dangerous monster nearby was hasted
Second mistake: forgot that a randart weapon I was wielding prevented teleportation.

Is it possible to wield a bow or a shield with Blade Hands active?
