-An '''Evil Patch Idea''', often abbreviated to '''EPI''', is a [[YANI]] for NetHack that is considered to be a terrible idea either by its creator or the community, because if it were implemented, it would greatly increase the amount of frustration or annoyance in the game while having no particular redeeming qualities: a way for the game designers to be evil to the players. Usually, Evil Patch Ideas do not make the game literally unwinnable, but they might make it practically unwinnable. They are usually conceived on the spur of the moment and shared for amusement. Others may suggest modifications to make the ideas even more evil.

 Slash'EM Extended offers an "evil variant mode", which is enabled by picking the evilvariant race or hybrid race, and which causes some of the more egregiously evil patch ideas to be in full effect. The game might be nearly unwinnable in that mode due to the high concentration of evil patch ideas that work strictly against the player's favor. [[User:Bluescreenofdeath/Evil_Variant|The Evil Variant]] shows an overview of features seen in that mode.
