Notes: challenged sumo after dismembering him with traps and got belt of levitation. Genny is displaced from stairs because I levitated over to UT exit and went down. Now I can get all my goodies and sell in attnam and still go back and kill plants for training. Also i drank a fountain dry and got +1 Cha but -1 Agi.

I think this goes in tips and tricks.

If you are invisible and get a lot of whips you can ranged attack enemies who can;t sense you. Or if you carry a bunch of bear traps and whips then you can set traps and fight enemies who can sense you while you are invisible. just set a line of traps between you and them and then throw things. Of course it doesn;t have to be whips but they are light and accurate and often highly enchanted.

If the high priest is slaughtered then he obviously wasn't worthy of the post.

levitation allows you to levitate over mines, can't walk over mines with belt of carrying and ring of searching. ring of searching doesn;t always detect all traps - I have stepped on them before while wearing ring of searching. Belt of levitation also allows you to fly over water (go to attnam without killing/teleporting/silvaing Genetrix versana, go back to new attnam to kill decos without going through UT again), fly over acid (frog blood or slime vomit can destroy your boots, you don't get stuck in slime), belt of levitation allows you to set traps and lure baddies over them without worrying about springing them yourself.

As for what to wear instead of ring of searching, I like a ring of invis, or electricity resist, or polycontrol, or telecontrol (if i haven't got permacontrol from blink dogs) or acid resist if fight acidic enemies (frogs, slimes)

OK, here is my idea - parallel processing a combination tounament and communal game using IVAN 0.50. Everyone starts at the same point (this is the root), everyone makes that char their own and sees how far they can take it (their trunk), when you die post your score and details and start a branch of someone elses trunk at the level at which you died (say GC2 for example). We can also have a communal trunk that can tagged in on like a wrestling match. If anyone wants they can start communal branches off someone's trunk. Once a branch or trunk is dead it is dead for good. Examples

Communal trunk goes from slob to atomic to capristo to wolf, who drinks acid and dies, then the communal trunk is dead permanently. Someone can start a new communal branch off a living trunk (once the trunk owner confirms the trunk is still alive)

FMW starts his trunk from the root. he makes it to UT3 and then drinks acid and dies. His trunk is dead. He starts a branch off of Slob's trunk at slob's UT2 endpoint (stairs to UT3) and gets to GC1 then drinks acid and dies: His branch is dead but Slob's trunk lives on. FMW then starts a communal branch off atomics trunk (after atomic confirms it is still alive) and redoes GC1, Erno taggs in for GC2, Slob tags in for GC3, wolf tags in for GC4 but drinks acid and dies. the branch is dead.

Save and post your progress at the end of each level.

I made a character called Ivaner and saved him at turn 2 in UT1 so we all start with the exact same potential.

You should be on the stairs to the next level and have al the gear you want to bring with you, i.e. don;t leave a vermis on UT2 and not tell anyone about it.

I have also started my trunk and saved it at the stairs to UT2. This trunk will double as the communal trunk too: it is a twin trunk if slob trunk dies communal trunk still lives.

So start your own trunks and post your progress and who will tag in on the communal trunk?

ivaner.rar or ivaner.zip (for chaostrom) - this is the root. Everyone starts their trunk from here.

SlobUT1.rar - this is the communal trunk and also the start of my trunk. Someone tag in and take it for 1 level and then post progress and savefile (maybe rename communalUT2)Progress so far

Okay, I'll start a topic for a communal game.

Yeah, it's always funny when a god that considers me his/her champion sends their dwarf to blow me up.

By Valpurus' Hammer!!! A belt of carrying. Now that is a waste of a wish. First of all a belt of levitation kicks ass over a belt of carrying, secondly a golden belt of carrying +3 can be had for the mere price of a certain banana tyrant's head, not too mention mithril boots of kicking+3 and mithril chainmail +1. Also if you pray to Mellis he will usually give you a belt of carrying at some point. Lastly, ring of searching is a wasted wish too: who needs one when you are levitating over all the traps. But to each his own I guess. Sorry if I came across as a smug asshole, I'm really not smug at all (just an asshole).

If you get to choose what you fetch then it should be a scroll. if you zap it at what you want to fetch then it should be a wand. As a scroll it could be a way to steal things from shops or cathedral : you fetch the amulet of esp (there are always some in the treasury)

Helm of brilliance is a good wish. Don;t wish for belt of levitation just og fight the sumo. other good wishes:

Wand of cloning or mirroring
scroll of charging (especially if you already have a 3 shot wand of cloning/mirroring)
Your favourite artifact weapon
ring of polymorph control (drink from fountains and get stats boosts & more wishes)
lyre of charm (good for dwarves, sci talking with giant dark frogs or battlemages for good Int boosts)
Scroll of change material (unless you already got one)
