They're probably running vista, which has decided its going to, at random, decide that certain games saved info goes elsewhere.

Mine is located in C:\Users\(profile name)\AppData\Roaming\crawl

Ah, that was it. No wonder I couldn't find it - I really wish Vista didn't hide data in that folder...

Do not anger the RNG.

If you savescum, he will find a way to screw your character over you wont notice. But he will just doom your character in a way you cannot save it from. and then, when you try to reload, you notice, you're already fooked, and there is nothing you can do, but wait for your inevitable demise.

AND THEN the great RNG will demand future sacrifices from following characters and the great RNG will destroy your lovelife, too.

Are you ready to pay the price? I'm not.

Don't I know it. I've played several roguelikes before, and in general while you can easily die for being stupid, Crawl is the first one I've played were you can die instantly out of no-where that just leaves you gaping "Whuh?". Now, in my experience save scumming is generally pretty bad because you tend to not learn from your mistakes; this is my 47th character with Crawl though, and getting through the first few levels only to die horribly another 40 times only to reach where I currently am does not appeal to me. With luck I will never have to use my scummed backup, but if it saves me grinding the first 10 levels again I'll do it.

I've probably played over a thousand games. I got my first few runes this tournament. CRAWL DEMANDS BLOOD.

I think it could be fun if you played it like an RTS. Ie attack other players ASAP, and keep attacking till they're dead. The threat of bugs makes me wary of starting a game, though, and I don't think I could play multi with my full demo edition anyway.

The cost of ships and level of technology needed to have said ships means the quickest you could do this is probably within two hours.

I have ze Multiplayer.

      Driving in California is quite interesting. Most of freeways and roads are heavily designed and have very clear traffic signs. There are very few highways that do not use overpasses - mostly in areas that it would be difficult to set up. Because of this, most traffic jams are caused by large amounts of people using the roads - at certain times. Where I live - 4 pm every day especially on Fridays has heavy traffic that often backs up. However, on most other times, traffic is extremely light and accidents have little effect on it. Most accidents cause 3-5 minute delays as the motorists drive off to the shoulder. Really bad accidents of course take much longer. The most interesting fact however is 99% of the drivers follow the law to the book. They drive the speed or the flow. They use signals. It is really only the 1% of people who speed crazily, merge in and out of lanes to get around traffic, cut people off, that cause any problem.
     Otherwise, I've driven in streams of cars going 80 mph with little issue. This often causes a weird reality to drivers from out of state who drive 75-80 on freeways thinking that every one is doing it and get pulled over by the rather intense CHP. The truth is, You only drive 80 in groups in the fast lane. If you drive anything above 75 in the slow lanes, by yourself, the CHP sees you as reckless - and also an easy kill as you are a clear target.

I got 2 points for being killed by my own ghost in the tourney, so don't feel bad.

right now I have 3 kills done by my ghost. I'm pretty sure I'm every single one of them.

Playing one of my favorite combos - MfTm.

I for the first time ever have discovered language. At the shoals. Using nemelex. So really it's not that huge of deal. I'm just a little disappointed in that fact that the swamp didn't generate on my map.

Dem Uniques. 72 damage in one hit. Pretty far this time.
