WEEKLY CHALLENGE: PEW PEW PEW EDITION
I hope you were tired of melee characters, because they're all gone this week (mostly)!
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) - Draconian Wizard with the "frost" option.
GOOD RANDOM: (Easy Mode) Kenku Air Elementalist.
Finally some good ranged options going on. Though, you could easily go melee too with that kenku.
I will post the winners from last week in reply. If i have time tonight, i'll also do a quick newbie writeup if you want to get into the game and don't know wtf. 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!
