WEEKLY CHALLENGE: MORE MELEE EDITION
Yup, you guessed it. More melee characters this week!
As you know, I roll two random characters in the game each week. One is truly random (usually considered the "hard" choice, as you can get some really bad combos), and one is "good random" (chosen out of "good" combinations).
These characters are the WEEKLY CHALLENGE. There are three categories to win. Best random score, best good random score, and best overall score.
You can play either offline or at http://crawl.akrasiac.org/ . I trust you guys not to cheat. No cheating (save backups, etc.) will be allowed (honor system, obviously). I will use the most recent "stable" edition that's available this week. Right now please use version 0.6.1
If you haven't played this game before, it's awesome. Go to http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/ and check it out. Basically, it's a randomly generated dungeon game. You've got a wide variety of classes and races to choose from. It's very hard, and when you die, your character gets deleted. Dying is a normal and expected part of the game. These weekly challenges are a good way to get people to try new ways of playing.
THIS WEEK'S CLASSES
RANDOM: (Hard Mode) - Vampire Thief.
GOOD RANDOM: (Easy Mode) Draconian Crusader with the hand axe.
Some really interesting choices this week. Both melee again, but both are more complicated than last week's choices. Both races are something i have very little experience with. Not really sure how to play either well.
I will post the winners from last week in reply. You have until ER is posted next monday to submit scores. If you start your own score thread, please use the tag DCSS so i can find it. Good luck!
