Granted, I'm pretty good, but I don't think I could swap OSes by sheer mistake... unless you got the "install FreeBSD on random computers" virus up and running. The chair-to-keyboard interface isn't to blame for that one (I did spend a week without a hostname somehow, though. Nice one).

Nah, I just switched to FreeBSD because the logo is even redder than Debian's, and I got annoyed with the handling of some of my favourite packages in particular (Emacs and the GFDL ripples, gtk2.10 that still hasn't reached Unstable several months after its release, and a couple others).

That, and I reckon FreeBSD is worth a couple geek points more, and you won't taunt me with that demon anymore. Would be fun seeing you switch to the Hurd just so you can scorn me again.

Wow, I just had a really weird crawl exerience, meeting a total of 4 (yes, four) uniques on level 2. And don't ask me how I managed to beat Sigmund... you guessed it, tons of sheer luck. Char dump (way long):

So far, my max uniques in one level was 3 (Sigmund, Terence, and Jessica in that order) on D:3, and as a summoner with two rings of wizardry and around 10 MP to his control even Siggy wasn't a big deal (of course, not having an ego scythe/wand/worthwhile armor helped too). That game had excellent luck, but sadly I was killed in level 10 of the lair by a couple death yaks, and even worse, I could have survived even with my subpar running strategy if I hadn't been encumbered, and I also had some ways of getting away easier as well that I didn't use.

You forgot the most important change: food you can't eat is now ignored by % autopickup.

Huh, someone modded down Maurog's character dump from May. I fixed it, but I don't get it.

If I were you, I'd start to worry about monsters and ghosts casting Dispel Undead :P

Given the number of player ghosts I killed with Dispel Undead, they have a long way to catch up. It's the first spell I learn from the Book of Necromancy when playing a necromancer, higher priority than even the staple Animate Dead.

Ah, it's a remnant from that time when people would just search for all my posts and mod them down randomly, I'm sure you remember. There are lots in older threads.
