| Haha that's funny. I played a little NetHack after Artius talked it up. An interesting report, that because of its brevity probably won't get you a great score from the raters, but who cares, it was a fun read! |

Oh NetHack.. How thou doeth spite me.... I could never get very far in the game because of my "brute force" tactics which usually ended me up in the middle of a cave with no light and surrounded by an army of pissed off gnomes.
I love this game and still play every once and awhile. Just like Escape Velocity: Nova.
A good little read. Thank you for sharing. |

Well, no one ever said to make it long :
Though considering the game took about 10 seconds, I'm not sure what more I could write. |

| Yeah, I agree moletrap, how could you make it any longer. No worries, it was an entertaining read. I was just saying, don't get discouraged if the raters give you a 6 or something, as many reports are compared to the 10 page epic reports. All of this indicates we need an overhaul to the rating system, so as to encourage short, interesting posts, as well as long, epic reports. |

I really, really, really enjoyed this. Giving it an eight.
As for length: I feel like this was perfectly fine lengthwise for what it was. Obviously a SC report that was this long would be very unsatisfying, but this was great in spite of, and, probably to some extent, because of, the brevity.
I'd love to see more from you in regards to nethack. I only played it a little bit after reading Artius' report because I saw that it would require a huge time investment and the only game I want to sink time in is BW, but I still thought it was a great game and would be happy to read some more about the game. |

| Nice one, Moletrap. I enjoyed it, even if it was brief, if only for bringing bakc the memories of wasted nights peering at ascii-signs on a green monitor.... |

That's a great Nethack death. Getting a wish on turn 1 makes it pretty easy, if you know what to wish for. That's aggressive to go for (the wizard's I think) another classes quest artifact.
I almost always go for GDSM/SDSM on my first wish -- especially if you get it this early. It makes it easier to get to the mine with the lowest possible level, and abuse the priest #chat at level 1 or 2. The combination of the DSM and -10 makes you pretty much untouchable for the early game.
I always enjoy a good nethack report -- nice work.

a very short but interesting read. Nethack sounds like a game that would probably frustrate me to no end, what with ridiculous ways of dying. I like my death to come in obvious and foreseen ways, like that skydiving trip I'm planning to take.
I think this would have been more appropriate tacked onto the end of a longer and more exhausted Nethack report. although it was interesting and engaging, it was very short (like you said). if you want to retain this short length, at least try to give it some HTML to spice things up visually.

| I liked this, but there's no way it deserves anything close to gold in my book, considering it's not really a battlereport. 5. |

I am really interested in some victory reports, nothing too boring (some parts of nethack can be mind numbingly tedious) but nothing as short as this one :)
And I probably died all of the stupid deaths you can imagine, since I never looked at spoiler guides. Imagine being hit by a cockatrice, learning that they can turn you to stone, facing one again on a new character and killing it from range, then picking up the corpse and feeling yourself slowly turning to stone.
Unless you read spoilers, you learn by dying in nethack. |
