YAFAP
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007At long last I won the hardest game ever, Nethack. The game lasted over a month, mainly due to me not playing while on vacation. I blame my ascension on the early wishes (first a magic lamp then a random wishing wand) and trying to combine stormbringer and pets, which made me really paranoid and careful with every move. Finding a spellbook of polymorph was the cream on the cake. By the time I entered the quest I had -40-something AC, 300+ hp, and was generally immortal. Knew practically every spell (no charm monster though, no matter how many spellbooks I polymorphed), and had more magic markers than I knew what to do with. Ascending was simple, Death was a wimp, and my only scare was when I fought both the arch priest of Moloch and double-trouble Rodney at the same time, they got me down to half HP, and I wished up some potions of full healing. Next turn a cockatrice showed up, and that was that.
