01:25:42 <elliott> Patashu: do you wanna see what a scroll of acquirement gave me after under 4000 turns of play in crawl light
01:25:47 <elliott> p - the +23 crystal plate mail of Inaction (worn) {rPois Acc+2 Dam+2}
01:26:16 <monqy> iirc st_ got a pretty good artefact cpa the other day in regular crawl too
01:26:17 <elliott> my AC is 54, along with my +1 helmet and +0 cloak and +0 boots
01:26:21 <monqy> maybe it was someone else thouugh
01:26:33 <monqy> and it might hav been on a robin
01:26:41 <elliott> (crawl light doesn't buff acquirement or whatever (except that you can see what you'll get before deciding so i didn't just say "hey gimme armour"))
01:26:54 <monqy> that's actually a real big acq buff
01:27:02 <elliott> it doesn't buff the actual generation
01:32:10 -!- DHeadshot has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
01:33:47 <elliott> Patashu: my EV only just now hit 6 though
01:34:00 <monqy> not that it matters for you at the moment
01:34:18 <elliott> _You see here a serpentine rune of Zot.
01:34:18 <elliott> _You can't carry that many items.
01:34:32 <monqy> remember how runes used to be actual items that you carried in your inventory
01:35:08 <elliott> Patashu: also I just got my first rune \o/
01:35:24 <elliott> Light, but "Light" doesn't mean "easier"
01:35:40 <elliott> Light just means "no hunger and no curses and no stupid identification game"
01:35:48 <elliott> and i'm playing DD because i also want "no regen over time"
01:36:06 <monqy> you're not playing on hard mode
01:36:20 <monqy> you're playing on medium mode. hasn't hard mode not been fully implemented yet?
01:36:29 <monqy> you only opened the first pandoora!
01:36:31 <elliott> harder than the baseline mode
01:36:36 <elliott> monqy: i'm going to open the second!!!
01:36:44 <elliott> when you open it the game gets harder
01:37:06 <elliott> the portal to the first pandoora is randomly generated
01:37:11 <elliott> second pandoora is at the end of the hive if you opened the first pandoora
01:39:40 <elliott> Patashu: if you want to see pandoora-hive you can watch me i'll probably go there next
01:40:49 <elliott> 02:40 <Satonakaja> easymode hive has PHAT LOOT liek swords or books or someting
01:40:49 <elliott> 02:40 <Satonakaja> if you open the first pandoora, hive will only have potions and the second pandoora when dtsund implements it
01:40:49 <elliott> 02:40 <Satonakaja> but as of now all it is is a normal stone soup hive
01:40:52 <elliott> ok it probably won't be that interesting
01:40:57 <elliott> Patashu: oh it's telnet light.bitprayer.com
01:41:38 <monqy> 18:41:05 < quairlzr> Satonakaja: you missed it
01:41:39 <monqy> 18:41:10 < quairlzr> both doors are in now
01:48:15 <elliott> i accidentally read tele and now i'm trapped by deep water
01:48:22 <elliott> and reading tele again just put me in the same place
01:48:36 <monqy> you have wands right
01:48:56 <monqy> or you can use digging to get around the water if that isn't the level boundary
01:48:59 <monqy> digging doesn't cut wax
01:49:01 <monqy> disint and fire do
01:50:15 <elliott> i guess what i have is better
01:50:38 <Patashu> that's something normal crawl needs
01:50:47 <Patashu> isn't it different in crawl light
01:51:00 <elliott> You open the killer bee like a pillowcase!!!
01:51:20 <elliott> a less shitty anti-magic axe
01:51:51 <elliott> wow i see why they removed hive
01:51:51 <monqy> Patashu: light uses glow instead of food for spell/invo/evo/etc costs so it's more important to have precise glow information
01:51:59 <elliott> yeah i think they removed hive because it was too easy
01:52:12 <monqy> and because it's just boring
01:52:20 <monqy> a level full of bees and only bees, "seriously?"
01:52:49 <Patashu> a bee with 100 speed, haste and swiftness
01:52:53 <elliott> actually enchant some stuff some da
01:53:24 <monqy> don't bother ehcnating stuff you're not going to use; you aren't in any shortage of ac/whatever
01:53:47 <monqy> you're fine off with what you have there too
01:54:03 <monqy> and you might find something really cool like a vampiric axe
01:54:09 <elliott> _Found the -5 chain mail of Agoraphobia {+Inv Acc+3}.
01:55:29 <monqy> either a secret door or you can burn/disint it
01:56:03 <monqy> or dig it since it's rock
01:56:29 <monqy> maybe you will find a door
01:56:38 <monqy> the rock that's not listed as unnaturally hard
01:58:21 <elliott> 02:58 <quairlzr> that's a bee castle
01:59:40 <Patashu> grind a teletrap until you tele past it?
02:01:20 <elliott> Patashu: oh it actually is
02:02:49 <elliott> Patashu: join #crawllight btw

08:02:26 <elliott> in a more helpful manner than monqy
08:02:49 <monqy> Patashu: you wouldn't believe how hard it was to get elliott to use a vamp battleaxe on a ddbe!!
08:03:07 <shachaf> elliott: Can I help you not die?
08:03:40 <elliott> Patashu: i'm dying lots because of hell fiends and other nasty things
08:04:04 <elliott> i think i'm carrying three of them
08:04:15 <elliott> monqy: should i be carrying these runes
08:04:24 <monqy> no they're wasted inventory space
08:04:30 <monqy> stash them or something once you get a chance
08:05:29 <elliott> i guess i won't bother with elf:3
08:05:34 <elliott> Patashu: how scary is zot:1
08:06:23 <monqy> elliott's char is op so it should be easy
08:06:51 <Patashu> I think zot:1 is easier than vaults:8
08:06:55 <Patashu> because it has less shit and a less open layout
08:07:01 <Patashu> that doesn't mean the monsters in it are trivial
08:07:12 <monqy> elf end is also commonly considered easier than v8!!!
08:07:27 <monqy> i usually just don't do elf though
08:07:37 <monqy> the only good level is the ending and the rest is ugh
08:07:51 <monqy> that's because you goofed it
08:08:08 <elliott> is that throwing net useful for anything at this point in the game
08:09:52 <elliott> is that enough scrolls for zot:1
08:10:51 <elliott> i have no idea how to use these rods
08:10:57 <elliott> but i have a feeling it's pointless taking them to zot
08:13:28 <elliott> V - a +5 rod of summoning (10/10)
08:13:28 <elliott> Z - a +3 rod of destruction [lightning,iron,fireball] (10/10)
08:13:32 <elliott> Patashu: should i take these to zot
08:14:00 <Patashu> if you end up not needing them just drop them
08:16:05 <elliott> The chilling blast hits you!
08:16:05 <elliott> _Two of your 12 potions of healing freeze and shatter!
08:16:13 <elliott> is everything on zot:1 cold or something
08:16:23 <elliott> and i've seen an ice dragon
08:16:27 <elliott> is anything firey on zot:1
08:16:36 <Patashu> and whichever draconian colour is fire
08:16:50 <elliott> how are you meant to resist all this crap
08:16:53 <Patashu> drac annihlators do every element I think
08:17:03 <Patashu> swap to one pip of rF and one pip of rC
08:17:12 <Patashu> when you see something you know only does one (like an orb of fire) you can swap to 2 of it
08:17:12 <monqy> you don't look like you're having trouble
08:17:37 <elliott> monqy: well my scrolls are all catching fire
08:17:42 <elliott> and this draconian refuses to walk up to me
08:17:52 <elliott> shit why do i have all these scrolls with me
08:20:15 <elliott> all my scrolls gone apart from tele
08:20:26 <elliott> only one scroll of blinking left in the game and it's not mine
08:21:54 <elliott> i should just get the orb and be happy with the runes i have i guess
08:22:36 <elliott> why is this black draconian red
08:24:52 <elliott> Patashu: how do you kill orbs of fire
08:26:14 <Patashu> and don't die to mutations
08:26:29 <monqy> Patashu: are you sure
08:26:38 <monqy> Patashu: remember light reverted haste nerf
08:26:47 <Patashu> they're 200% speed in crawl light?
08:27:26 <elliott> how dumb is berking an orb of fire
08:28:09 -!- Taneb has joined.
08:28:30 <Patashu> if crawl light has the op version of berk
08:28:50 <elliott> You slice the orb of fire!!
08:29:34 <elliott> Wait a moment, elliott! Do you really want to walk there?
08:32:52 <elliott> did you see the part where all my scrolls got destroyed
08:34:48 <monqy> elf3 for conservation!!!
08:35:11 <elliott> would elf:3 have conservation?
08:39:30 <elliott> this is the problematic situation
08:39:37 <elliott> i guess i need to kill the conjurer fast
08:39:50 <elliott> hopefully you can see the problem
08:41:24 <monqy> are you letting them all hit you at once
08:41:26 <monqy> oops don't do that!
08:41:44 <elliott> to kill the ones that summon the awful demons first
08:42:06 <monqy> might want to use the vamp axe some too
08:42:11 <monqy> your hp is getting a dear bit low!!
08:42:27 <elliott> do you have any suggestions
08:42:34 <monqy> don't do whatever you did
08:43:42 <elliott> ok it might finally go well for once since I got rid of the high priest
08:45:50 <elliott> now it's all going terribly :(
08:47:26 <monqy> oh yeah don't fight like that jeez
08:47:36 <elliott> you'd have saw how i got into this situation :P
08:49:50 <monqy> oh dear what happened to you
08:50:38 <elliott> I think I'll probably die in the next few turns and there's a bunch of stuff between me and the stairs, so I guess it's hopeless.
08:51:39 <elliott> I suppose I could read tele, but I have a sneaking suspicion I wouldn't survive to see the other side of it.
08:53:00 <elliott> monqy: Anyway, suggestions welcome.
08:53:33 <monqy> most danger about tele is in teleporting into the vault
08:54:14 <elliott> I would say the most danger is the fact that I had a lot more than 45 HP last turn and so am probably going to have a lot less than it next turn...
08:54:48 <monqy> about tele specificially
08:55:46 <monqy> see look you didn't die
08:56:15 <elliott> Just wait 'til I get back there...
08:56:47 <elliott> Lightning and crystal spear.
08:57:04 <elliott> I can't exactly stop things casting spells at me when I'm walking up to them.
08:57:17 <monqy> hint: don't walk up to them
08:57:43 <elliott> monqy: I had nowhere to duck and if I just sat there the same would happen.
08:57:58 <monqy> maybe find somewhere to duck
08:58:09 <monqy> or move such that you have somewhere to duck
08:58:25 <elliott> i.e., run away along the corridor, during which time the same would have happened.
08:58:59 <elliott> You occasionally shout uncontrollably.

09:09:46 <elliott> monqy: ok, how *are* you meant to handle deep elf demonologists when there are no corridors you can get to without traversing terrain with a bunch of elves that will kill you
09:10:56 <monqy> i don't know how that happened to you!!
09:11:20 <elliott> Simple; I retreated from other stuff back here, and there was a deep elf demonologist.
09:11:42 <elliott> I couldn't retreat backwards since that'd put me back into the stuff I was retreating from, so I walked up to it to kill it before it could summon anything, but it was too quick.
09:13:58 <elliott> Anyway, I don't know what to do at this point.

09:20:15 <elliott> Patashu: light.bitprayer.com
09:21:02 <elliott> i'm still losing like 20, 30 hp per turn
09:21:25 <elliott> the 57 ac really isn't a panacea
09:21:36 <Patashu> shrug, you still want to tele
09:21:53 <elliott> except there's elves down there
09:22:22 <elliott> think i'll just get the hell out
09:22:50 <Patashu> 57 ac doesn't help against everything
09:22:54 <Patashu> but it sure as fuck helps against execs
09:23:11 <elliott> ugh i suppose i should just go to zot
09:23:20 <elliott> since there's obviously no way i'll survive a 15-runer
09:23:34 <Patashu> (torment torment torment torment smite)
09:24:26 <elliott> i think i'm too shit a player to survive is what i meant
09:24:36 <Patashu> trog wrath is kind of hard to deal with
09:24:41 <Patashu> though with no hunger you could scummily deal with it
09:25:42 <elliott> what's so bad about trog wrath for a character like me?
09:25:46 <elliott> i can kill pretty much any melee monster
09:25:55 <elliott> it's spellcasters that beat me down
09:26:02 <Patashu> getting surrounded by 20 zerk stone giants and bears is kind of hard to deal with
09:26:47 <Patashu> corridor with something like a rat blocking you in
09:26:59 <Patashu> then 5 until trog is mollified
09:27:06 <elliott> monqy: tell Patashu he's awful
09:27:13 <monqy> Patashu: you're awful
09:27:36 <monqy> Patashu: did you see elliott doing crypt
09:28:50 <elliott> i could probably take crypt now
09:29:02 <elliott> Patashu: do you want to see me die in crypt
09:29:06 <monqy> elliott: so are you converting or not, and are you still planning on allruning
09:29:21 <elliott> i doubt i'll all-rune without converting
09:29:51 <Patashu> it's technically possible but lol, torment
09:29:59 <elliott> who are the viable ddbe extended game gods then
09:30:14 <monqy> makhleb is like tso but makhleb instead of tso
09:30:31 <elliott> what does makhleb offer over trog
09:30:35 <Patashu> if you're going to convert you may as well convert to tso
09:30:41 <Patashu> makhleb offers: healing on kills, ???
09:32:10 <monqy> tso offers healing on evil kills, which is pretty much 100% of extended
09:32:15 <monqy> also holy branding
09:32:20 <monqy> and angels and stuff
09:32:21 <Patashu> holy helps more than vampiric in end game
09:32:24 <Patashu> since vampiric doesn't work on demons
09:32:29 <Patashu> while holy gives 75% damage boost
09:32:35 <Patashu> tso gives you cleansing flame
09:32:38 <Patashu> which is good at high invo
09:32:41 <monqy> and if you rely on trog's hand for healing you will exhaust your piety megaquickly
09:32:43 <elliott> what does makhleb offer over trog for extended, I'm confused
09:33:04 <elliott> tso seems like a pain because
09:33:16 <elliott> doesn't it get angry at you if you do $stuff
09:33:33 <monqy> tso isn't as uptight about stuff you do to demons
09:33:41 <elliott> anyway if i'm going to convert i guess it should be before i finish off crypt?
09:33:48 <monqy> worst it'd affect you is you can't use your vamp or draining weapons
09:33:59 <Patashu> yes, you'd have to grind with a different weapon
09:34:03 <Patashu> until you get holy branding
09:34:30 <Patashu> well, you'd be holy branding it anyway
09:34:49 <elliott> i don't know if hp on evil kills would be enough
09:35:19 <monqy> vamp won't help you in extended
09:35:25 <monqy> except on the rare living thing
09:35:28 <monqy> like ice dragons in coc
09:36:03 <elliott> Patashu: btw is hall of blades as horrible as they say
09:36:19 <Patashu> it depends on your character
09:36:25 <Patashu> but pretty much everything there is faster than a normal speed char
09:36:28 <Patashu> there are lots of reaching weapons
09:36:32 <Patashu> and an unlucky brand might fuck you up
09:36:39 <Patashu> if you have good escape mechanisms blade is ok
09:37:25 <elliott> what about if you have crappy escape mechanisms but 57 AC
09:38:43 <elliott> idk i just want to put off the decision of converting to another god
09:38:46 <elliott> be somewhere without spellcasters
09:38:54 <Patashu> (uniques can appear in blade)
09:39:34 <elliott> 10:39 <Henzell> hall of blades[6/6]: <rwbarton> the real experience you gain is "don't do blade"
09:39:41 <elliott> should i take anything special
09:40:15 <elliott> also I guess rFire isn't that important in blades?
09:40:23 <Patashu> there can be weapons of flaming
09:41:17 <elliott> feature request: they're not fucking swords
09:41:28 <elliott> since that's how i heal these days
09:41:34 <elliott> does killing them give piety
09:41:42 <elliott> & also will anti-magic do anything fancy to them
09:41:52 <elliott> (& also will draining do anything fancy to them)
09:47:31 <Patashu> is that a crawl light thing
09:47:33 <Patashu> also, get the fuck out of blade
09:47:45 <elliott> i take it i stand no chances against mennas
09:47:54 <Patashu> I guess you are kind of diesel
09:48:01 <elliott> I thought Crawl avoided giving genders to monsters
09:48:05 <elliott> or is that a post-0.8 thing
09:48:43 <elliott> what about the silent disciples and shit
09:49:08 <Patashu> you just opened a sword like a pillowcase
09:49:39 <elliott> i can kill anything in melee
09:49:46 <elliott> what i can't kill is stuff that summons
09:49:51 <elliott> or throws bolts of cold at me
09:49:56 <elliott> and especially my items can't survive that
09:49:59 <elliott> so basically when i did zot:1
09:50:09 <elliott> it was uneventful except all my scrolls got destroyed
09:50:25 <elliott> and i kept losing hp whenever I fought something that did blasts of stuff
09:50:31 <elliott> if everything just did melee

09:52:56 <monqy> you also have: so much ac, vamp battleaxe
09:53:04 <elliott> is blades meant to be this easy
09:53:15 <monqy> Patashu: did you see that ttyrec of the spsomething that came out of an ice cave into xtahua with rF-
09:53:34 <Patashu> do you know where I can find it
09:54:11 <elliott> Patashu: you get to help me do (the last level of) crypt
09:54:42 <elliott> observe: the previous disaster
09:55:02 <lambdabot> Plugin `tell' failed with: Prelude.head: empty list
09:55:13 <monqy> I was trying to get elliott to experience the magic and wonder of liches behind glass
09:55:24 <monqy> the magic and wonder being that if you step on the items it sets the liches free on you
09:55:53 <elliott> the best thing about light is
09:56:45 <elliott> _The curse skull gives a chilling moan.
09:57:46 <elliott> i guess from the same place
09:58:08 <elliott> better chokepoint and another staircase

09:58:44 <Patashu> I forgot I stopped watching it half way through because it was boring
09:59:00 <Patashu> ice cave can appear as late as vaults? lol
09:59:25 <elliott> i've dealt with one of the liches
10:00:39 <elliott> _There is a click. Suddenly, the liches are set free!
10:00:56 <elliott> Sif Muna's Volume of Snow and the Voyage
10:00:58 <elliott> literally the most boring book
10:01:00 <Patashu> that seems to be an oversight
10:01:06 <Patashu> shouldn't it only say that if there are still iches trapped there
10:02:13 <elliott> Patashu: btw is there any feasible way for me to get conservation at this point
10:02:14 <Patashu> what are you going to get by putting it off
10:02:32 <elliott> but I still don't know if I want to 15-rune or not
10:03:53 <Patashu> I mean, you could if you want to
10:04:01 <Patashu> but you don't have any way of dealing with certain parts of hell/pan
10:04:37 <elliott> wouldn't converting to tso mitigate that though
10:05:56 <Patashu> how do you plan on getting tso piety though
10:06:29 <elliott> monqy: how do i plan on getting tso piety
10:06:56 <elliott> potions of speed are useless if i have haste right
10:07:31 <monqy> doing abyss maybe? idk
10:07:47 <elliott> does trog wrath happen in abyss too

10:10:47 <Patashu> you're not getting much out of your ev
10:12:25 * Sgeo wonders if he has Dilbert Desktop Games around somewhere
10:14:09 <elliott> Your +23 crystal plate mail prevents you from hitting the white draconian.
10:14:14 <elliott> Patashu: i love how i'm still getting these messages
10:14:34 <elliott> crawl: really weird if you get +23 cpa in the really early game
10:14:42 <Patashu> even with 27 armour it still stops you sometimes
10:15:01 <elliott> draconian with a disto sword
10:16:03 <elliott> the last level of zot is always a lot harder right
10:16:59 <elliott> i could just clear zot:3 i guess
10:17:02 <elliott> but i dunno if that's suicidal or not
10:25:12 <elliott> this has to be a terrible idea
10:26:37 <elliott> monqy: tell me i'm an idiot
10:26:58 <monqy> elliott: you're an idiot
10:27:01 <monqy> elliott: ps what are you doing
10:29:54 <monqy> elliott: that happened with my ghck too
10:30:06 <monqy> elliott: no conservation all game then i found a cloak of pres on zot5
10:30:17 <elliott> is resist mutation useful in zot
10:31:27 <elliott> Patashu: is resist mutation useful in zot :(
10:31:51 <Patashu> (and draconian shifters I think?)
10:32:37 <elliott> i have an amulet of conservation
10:32:40 <elliott> and an amulet of resist mutation
10:32:47 <elliott> is it ok to put on conservation
10:32:51 <elliott> and switch to mutation when i see one of those
10:33:37 <shachaf> elliott: Did you solve the EXCITING PUZZLE?
10:34:05 <shachaf> Did you see the EXCITING PUZZLE?
10:34:40 <elliott> busy solving a different puzzle
10:36:02 <shachaf> Is it the puzzle where when you solve it you win at Crawl?
10:36:35 <shachaf> Is that a brand of cigarettes?
10:36:57 <Patashu> do you have an axe of antimagic?
10:37:02 <Patashu> do you have a scroll of silence?
10:37:35 <elliott> there's zot traps in predictable places right
10:38:20 <Patashu> put on relec for electric shooters, yes
10:38:29 <elliott> does vamp work on electric golems
10:38:47 <shachaf> do vamps dream of electric golems
10:41:28 <elliott> killer klowns are awful right
10:41:39 <Patashu> I don't think killer klowns even do anything
10:41:45 <elliott> 11:41 <Henzell> killer klown[1/5]: Not a truly unique monster, but emotes like a unique and is very powerful. Causes rotting, is very resistant to magic, and is as fast as a centaur. Fortunately, it has no elemental resistances.
10:42:44 <elliott> i'm in los of ancient lich
10:43:40 <elliott> guess i'll just punch through to it
10:44:10 <elliott> that was there from before :P
10:44:15 <elliott> they haven't rot me at all yet
10:44:39 <elliott> is that vampire summoning these
10:45:00 <Patashu> I don't think vampires can summon anything but mammals
10:45:02 <Patashu> unless it changed in light
10:45:15 -!- derdon has joined.
10:48:25 <elliott> so do guardians actually spawn around the orb
10:49:05 <Patashu> just pick up the orb and step into the tele trap
10:49:15 <elliott> i wasn't going for the orb
10:49:17 <Patashu> you could do it anyway if you feel like it
10:49:17 <elliott> i'm just clearing out zot:3
10:50:00 <elliott> that situation wasn't good
10:52:03 <elliott> Patashu: if i pick the orb up
10:52:07 <elliott> can i stash it in the temple
10:52:12 <elliott> or does picking it up start the whole
10:54:13 <elliott> it suddenly became 13 and my AC 60
10:55:05 <monqy> so are you going to grab the orb and win or do extended or what
10:55:21 <monqy> if you pick the orb up the spawning is irreversible
10:55:25 <monqy> but orb run tomb is cool
10:55:28 <monqy> but you can't do orb run hell or pan
10:55:56 <elliott> which makes me a bit more confident
10:56:11 <elliott> i'm tempted to go for extended
10:56:33 <elliott> i mean i could just win with 4 runes quickly now but i mean
10:57:16 <Patashu> did you get a beneficial mutation?
10:57:28 <Patashu> 'Armour fits poorly on your unusually shaped body.' maybe
10:57:28 <elliott> i have no idea how i got these mutations
10:57:35 <elliott> Patashu: nah i've had that for the whole game
10:57:45 <elliott> do i occasionally blink or something
10:57:57 <elliott> monqy: is this really teleportitis
10:59:41 <elliott> monqy: is there any hope for me
11:00:16 <monqy> if you grab the orb and win
11:00:39 <elliott> well at least the abyss would be tolerable with it :P
11:03:26 <monqy> do you expect to have fun in the abyss
11:07:17 <elliott> monqy: ps is 70k turns few or a lot i can't tell these things
11:07:23 <elliott> i guess it's different for light since
11:07:27 <elliott> less time identifying, eating, etc.
11:07:36 <elliott> oh and shorter branches obviously
11:07:47 <elliott> so i guess it's probably quite long for light
11:12:34 <elliott> Patashu: abyss with teleportitis has to be the greatest thing ever right
11:12:48 <Patashu> and "a good way to get the rune"
11:12:58 <Patashu> also "will make xom amused"
11:13:08 <elliott> wait can you even teleport in the abyss like that
11:13:13 <elliott> i know it blocks some kinds of stuff
11:13:31 <Patashu> you can teleport fine in the abyss
11:13:50 <elliott> how far does it teleport you
11:14:08 <elliott> no amulet of stasis, brilliant
11:14:25 <Patashu> to a different part of the abyss
11:14:37 <Patashu> (read: regenerates the abyss and places you randomly in the new abyss)
11:14:49 <Patashu> it's like playing hyperrogue basically
11:15:12 <elliott> what happens if you find the rune
11:15:18 <elliott> will you never find it again
11:15:21 <elliott> because it's already been generated
11:16:44 <Patashu> but NOT same for unique pan lord runes
11:16:51 <Patashu> those are the only ones you can miss
11:18:29 <elliott> (a) nab orb, win with 4 runes
11:18:33 <elliott> (b) go to abyss, have THE FUNNEST TIME
11:18:43 <elliott> (c) try to do extended game with teleportitis like a fucking imbecile
11:23:30 <elliott> no it;s not permissible!!!
11:25:21 <elliott> Patashu: should i orb run tomb
11:25:25 <elliott> monqy: should i orb run tomb
11:25:30 <monqy> always orb run tomb
11:25:36 <elliott> would i actually survive that
11:25:50 <elliott> but there's no death curses!
11:26:01 <Patashu> no death curses in crawl light?
11:26:04 <Patashu> so what's the point of tomb again
11:26:20 <elliott> maybe there's death curses!!!
11:28:52 <elliott> 12:28 <Henzell> I don't have a page labeled striss in my learndb.
11:28:54 <elliott> monqy: who the fuck is striss
11:29:03 <monqy> random panlord with summon dragon
11:29:08 <elliott> 12:29 <Gretell> unknown monster: "striss"
11:32:52 <elliott> monqy: i have the runes and the orb
11:33:09 <elliott> want to orb run tomb like an idiot just for the hilarity
11:34:29 <monqy> you can orb run tomb if you want
11:34:33 <monqy> worst case you die
11:35:01 <elliott> 12:34 <Henzell> tomb[7/8]: RotRotRotRotTormentTormentRotTormentTormentSmiteTormentSmiteSmite You die...
11:35:14 <elliott> 12:35 <Henzell> tomb[8/8]: Croases: admittedly i should've done swamp first
11:38:11 <elliott> monqy: i'm going to do a really stupid ascension trick wish me luck!!!
11:38:44 <elliott> "it is up for every person on the planet for them to decide"
11:39:04 <elliott> monqy: i'm going to do a bunch of stupid stuff before walking up the stairs
11:41:16 <elliott> monqy: does abandoning religion have any penalties
11:42:29 <elliott> before walking up the stairs
11:42:42 <Patashu> what are you going to run into
11:43:07 <Patashu> well, just hasterun from everything
11:43:14 <elliott> will i survive even a single hit
11:43:25 <Patashu> lol, stupid ascension tricks
11:43:48 <Patashu> congrats on your easy modo win
11:43:49 <elliott> 1. 3673211 gruevy MDFi-27 escaped with the Orb
11:43:49 <elliott> 2. 2327513 elliott DDBe-27 escaped with the Orb
11:43:54 <Patashu> Are you ready for the next challenge?
11:44:26 <elliott> did i lose points by abandoning religion & being naked
11:44:58 <elliott> my teleportitis didn't kick in at all
11:46:38 <elliott> use my summoning rod thing to swarm a cloud of crap
11:46:43 <elliott> polymorph one of my boulder beetles into a naga
11:46:56 <elliott> and tried to go up the stairs
11:47:01 <elliott> and i took off all my armour beforehand
11:47:16 <elliott> ...and then ran naked out the dungeon with the orb :P
11:50:02 <Patashu> if crawl light uses the same scoring system as crawl
11:50:12 <Patashu> all it cares about is exp, no. of runes and game turns taken
11:50:28 <elliott> so i only wasted the turns it took to actually do that crap :P
11:51:10 <elliott> so, the last level of zot is actually pretty fun
11:51:54 <itidus20> ** stair dancing ** (best watched when not busy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWdGIbZKtmg&t=214s
11:53:35 <Patashu> brogue has the best (most exploitable) stair dancing
11:53:44 <Patashu> which is funny because at first it looks like the LEAST exploitable stairs in any roguelike that has them
11:54:02 <elliott> imo every roguelike needs to adopt the following-through-stairs system brogue has
11:55:23 <Sgeo> Following through stairs system?
11:56:01 <Patashu> when you take the stairs in brogue
11:56:04 <Patashu> every monster that is actively hunting you
11:56:08 <Patashu> will take the stairs as soon as it reaches them
11:56:32 <elliott> (as opposed to the stupid system in most other roguelikes where things adjacent to you can somehow go up the stairs and then walk next to you in two turns less time than it should take)
11:56:34 <Patashu> so you need to use Secret Techniques to exploit stairs
11:56:39 <elliott> (and anything with even one square of air around you won't follow at all)
11:57:24 -!- MoALTz has joined.
12:00:08 <elliott> Patashu: so what are the brogue techniques
12:01:49 <elliott> monqy: bet you enjoyed playing as MEPHITICCLOUD
12:02:09 <monqy> it actually didn't have meph
12:02:12 <Patashu> I made a post on the brogue wiki detailing what you can do with stairs
12:02:16 <Patashu> http://brogue.wikia.com/wiki/Stairdancing
12:02:17 <monqy> right now i'm playing MOUNTAINDWARF, which does have meph
12:02:30 <elliott> monqy: is the naming theme "bad things"
12:02:40 <monqy> naming scheme is OBLIVION
12:02:51 <monqy> things that were "nerfed to oblivion"
12:03:03 <monqy> mephitic cloud, mountain dwarf, staff monk, slaying
12:03:04 <elliott> I'm not sure I'd call what was done to Mountain Dwarves "nerfing".
12:03:05 <Patashu> what was op about staff monk
12:03:15 <monqy> it was just nerfed to oblivion
12:03:21 <Sgeo> Is there a Brogue server?
12:03:29 <Patashu> but it has a replay system
12:03:33 <Patashu> so if you win (or die hilariously) I can watch you
12:03:40 <elliott> a brogue server would require the brogue program to work well anyway
12:04:07 <Patashu> I think there's a console version of brogue
12:04:13 <Patashu> just that it's not available because the faketerm is a lot better
12:04:18 <Patashu> and it's going to be used for an ssh server
12:04:23 <elliott> yeah but nobody will want to play that
12:04:27 <elliott> at least nobody with taste
12:05:16 <monqy> i wasn't looking atht the screen
12:05:43 <elliott> you should use mephitic cloud on everything
12:05:56 <elliott> can't sacrifice optimal play just for your personal opinions!
12:06:00 <elliott> you have a team relying on you
12:06:49 <monqy> this is the only one I have left
12:06:54 <monqy> then everything will be stuck on marvinpa
12:07:09 <monqy> (until it comes back around to me that is)
12:09:54 <elliott> sounds a lot like mephitic cloud to me
12:10:04 <elliott> sounds like you're feeding your secret meph addiction without admitting it!!!
12:11:26 <elliott> i havent even seen meph ever casted monqy
12:15:48 <elliott> i think monqy just wants to cast meph a lot
12:15:50 <elliott> i think he really likes it
12:15:55 <monqy> everything about this char is op
12:16:25 <elliott> monqy: did you see i won btw

21:27:05 <kmc> shachaf: what puzzle?
21:27:36 <shachaf> How many non-interesecting "8"s can you fit on a plane?
21:28:26 <Taneb> shachaf, depends how big the plane and the "8"s are
21:28:41 <shachaf> The 8s can be any size you like.
21:29:00 <Taneb> I'm going for an infinite number
21:29:21 <shachaf> The question is whether it's countably many.
21:29:52 <elliott> I'd guess yes, since you can pack 8s into the dip in the middle.
21:29:57 <Taneb> I'm going for uncountable
21:30:12 <Taneb> If the 8s can get stupidly tiny
21:30:17 <Taneb> (mathematical term)
21:31:04 <shachaf> Circles are easy but 8s are much trickier.
21:31:12 <shachaf> What's "the dip in the middle"?
21:31:26 <Taneb> Consider a circle surrounding an 8
21:31:38 <elliott> shachaf: The thing connecting the two "o"s.
21:31:54 <shachaf> Taneb: 8s can go into other 8s, of course.
21:32:09 <Taneb> shachaf, that doesn't make it any more countable?
21:32:33 <shachaf> Who said it was countable?
21:32:46 <Taneb> I claimed it wasn't!
21:33:11 <Taneb> If it's uncountable without putting 8s in other 8s, it will be uncountable with that ability
21:33:28 <elliott> It's uncountable because you can imagine packing the reals the same way, Q.E.D..
21:33:52 <Taneb> (I have little idea what I'm talking about, btw. Most of my knowledge of this topic comes from reading irregular webcomic)
21:33:56 <shachaf> OK, so how is it uncountable without putting 8s in other 8s?
21:34:10 <Taneb> Because the 8s can get stupidly tiny
21:34:22 <elliott> shachaf: Just pack circles and then s/circle/8/?
21:34:34 <elliott> 8s have a bounding circle.

21:36:20 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving).
21:51:43 <shachaf> elliott: No, because circles can go inside each other.
21:52:25 <shachaf> The obvious packing is f(r : R⁺) = Circle { center = (0,0), radius = r }
21:52:39 <elliott> OK, but an 8 is just a circle with a twist.
21:52:49 <elliott> You can pack 8s into the side, which is the equivalent of the inside.
21:53:06 <elliott> Think of taking a circle and twisting it to make an 8, and what happens to the insides.
21:53:09 <shachaf> Well, the "obvious packing" I mentioned doesn't work.
21:53:20 <shachaf> So suggest another packing. :-)
21:53:22 <elliott> You don't pack the 8 into the 8.
21:53:26 <elliott> You pack the 8 into the side of the 8.
21:53:34 <shachaf> OK, but how do you get uncountably many that way?
21:54:04 <elliott> shachaf: Put a real number in the top circle of the 8.
21:54:19 <elliott> Note that you can find any real number by diving deep enough.
21:54:36 <elliott> I'm not going to make a formal proof.
21:54:42 <shachaf> Actually I have no idea what you mean.
21:54:48 <shachaf> But I don't think it works. :-)
21:56:43 <elliott> OK, do you understand what I mean by twisting a circle in the middle to get an 8?
21:57:31 <elliott> If you imagine a certain kind of (not physically possible twist), you can imagine what's in the very middle of the circle actually ending up at the sides of the middle point of the 8 where the circles join, on the outside.
21:57:50 <elliott> (It's not physically possible because you sort of twist it in-place.)
21:58:00 <elliott> (I'm sure there's a fancy topological definition of it.)
21:58:08 <shachaf> But if you have two non-intersecting concentric circles, and you twist them both, you get two intersecting 8s.
21:58:25 <shachaf> Oh, maybe I don't understand what you're saying.
21:58:26 <elliott> Anyway, I didn't even state it based on the circles originally.
21:58:44 <elliott> The point is: the middle of the 8 has some free space, right?
21:58:51 <elliott> Where the two circles meet, there's some space to the left and right of the midpoint.
21:58:52 <Gregor> Estimated delivery date: Today.
21:58:57 <Gregor> Current location: 2,000 miles away.
21:59:08 <elliott> So just pack one on each side, and repeat the process.
21:59:19 <shachaf> That's only going to be countably many.
21:59:29 <shachaf> I can trivially enumerate these 8s. :-)
22:00:08 <shachaf> But then it's not an EXCITING PUZZLE anymore.
22:05:36 <Sgeo> How would a packing problem have uncountably infinite pieces in a space?
22:06:35 <shachaf> Circles can go inside each other.
22:06:45 <shachaf> They just can't intersect.
22:07:37 <elliott> Anyway, tell us the solution.
22:08:23 <shachaf> You wouldn't want to SPOIL IT, would you?
22:08:53 <shachaf> elliott: I can give you a hint:
22:09:01 <shachaf> Is packing discs (filled-in circles) possible?
22:10:20 <shachaf> OK, so figure that out first. :-)
22:13:38 <Sgeo> I should post on the Allegiance forums
22:13:44 <Sgeo> They need to fix the installer
22:32:29 <Sgeo> elliott, http://type.method.ac/#
22:33:34 <Sgeo> Does it make sense that the letters at the end aren't movable?
22:34:10 <elliott> Yes, otherwise the game would be impossible; there would be an infinite number of valid kernings, parameterised on letter spacing.
22:34:34 <elliott> (i.e. all of http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/40/Letter-spacingS1.png are kerned correctly.)
22:34:48 <elliott> (Well, ostensibly. Assume they are; they could be incorrect, but that's not the point.)

23:06:47 <oklofok> "shachaf How many non-interesecting "8"s can you fit on a plane?" rather trivially only countably many
23:07:29 <oklofok> the idea is similar to the one for "uncountable sum of positive reals is infinite"
23:08:32 <oklofok> for the latter problem, we note that if for all 1/n, we had just countably many over that magnitude, then we could just take the countable union
23:10:14 <oklofok> similarly, for the eights, we note that if you take any "rational interval of 8 approximations", then some approximation interval is uncountable, which will be a contradiction. by an approximation interval i mean something like "height of the 8 is between x and y, and the angles in the middle are between z and w" or something.
23:10:50 <oklofok> this is all very standard, but this is a common problem type in noob competitions
23:13:31 <oklofok> well okay 8's are particularly simple so you just need to look at the size of bounding boxes
23:13:50 <Sgeo> elliott, monqy etc
23:14:36 <oklofok> it is ever so slightly more interesting for Y
23:21:44 <kmc> "very standard... noob competitions"
23:22:42 <oklofok> silly bullshit no one should be doing
