 == Gameplay differences ==
-As of November 2023, TNNT is based on [[NetHack 3.6.7]]. There are few, if any, gameplay differences from the base version of NetHack. Fundamental game mechanics will stay the same - weapons and armor stats and properties, roles and races, spells and their effects and levels, monster abilities and behavior, so on and so forth. The changes that players will see and experience are in the way of ''optional'' custom content and/or branch levels added to the game, without changing the mechanics or usability of existing content.

-TNNT recognizes four kinds of awards: leaderboards, trophies, achievements, and conducts.
+TNNT (the game) tracks several kinds of game-play behaviors for TNNT (the tournament). See the tournament article for how the tournament uses this tracking information to give awards.
-The TNNT website shows awards. After a player earns an award for themselves or for their clan, the website does not update immediately. The player must earn the award, and then save their game or finish their game, and after that the website needs several more minutes to update the award pages.

+A game counts as ''completed mines'' if the hero picks up the [[luckstone]] in the [[Gnomish Mines]]. Killing all the monsters and seeing the luckstone are not enough; the hero has to pick up the [[luckstone]].

+A game counts as ''completed Sokoban'' if the hero picks up the prize in [[Sokoban]]. Killing all the monsters and seeing the prize are not enough; the hero has to pick up the prize.
 === Achievements ===
 A player earns an achievement by doing some specific task during a game.<ref>https://tnnt.org/achievements</ref> Some achievements commemorate regular milestones in game progression, while others require going a little bit out of the way to accomplish, and still others require significant setup to produce a contrived scenario.
 Whenever the player earns an achievement, the game shows a message. <code>OPTIONS=tnnt_notify</code> controls these messages.
@@ Line 79: / Line 57: @@
 As of November 2023, there are 325 achievements available.
-Each player page shows all the achievements earned. A green check mark means that the player has earned the achievement and finished their game. A yellow diamond means that the player has earned the achievement in a game that is still in progress, and has then saved their game, but has not finished their game yet. (In other words, game save generates the information needed for yellow diamonds.) A red X means that the player has not earned the achievement, or possibly that the player has earned the achievement but has not finished their game or saved their game since earning the achievement.
+Achievements count whether or not the game ends in an ascension.
-For clans, if any player in the clan has earned a green check mark, then the clan gets a green check mark. Otherwise, if any player in the clan has earned a yellow diamond, then the clan gets a yellow diamond. Otherwise the clan gets a red X.
+A game counts as ''ascended'' if the hero ascends.
 === Conducts ===
 As of November 2023, TNNT has 12 custom [[conduct]]s in two groups.
 The first group of conducts is:

 * '''Never allowed a [[Rider]] to die'''
-If you receive the quest with a conduct from the first group intact, you earn an achievement. If you ascend the game with a conduct from the second group intact, you earn a trophy.
+==== Notes for petless ====
 Petless is an informal [[conduct]] in vanilla ''NetHack'' that is elevated to a formal conduct in TNNT.
