I played in that tournament! For five minutes or so, which was how long it took me to, first, determine that playing NetHack over a modem is a very bad idea (I'm on a modem for some reason), and then figure out how to consistently hurt myself (I'd forgotten most of the controls). I managed to conclude my adventure after 123 turns, by taking a fatal series of falls down the first stairway. |
