New page

: "*I'm* Cherokee Jack!"

A casual gamer, I like NetHack for the creativity of its fan base, in generating and sharing so many patches and forks. I have little experience in coding (except in BASIC) but some experience as a writer. My goal in starting an account on this wiki is to get some practice writing for the web while contributing to good article quality for other NetHack players (and perhaps sharing YANI or two of my own).

About the user name: No, I am not really Cherokee. My user name is a reference to the character "Cherokee Jack" in the 1966 cult film ''Red Zone Cuba'' aka ''Night Train to Mundo Fine'', immortalized by movie-riffing show Mystery Science Theater 3000, of which I am also a fan.

 My current editing priorities include, but are not limited to, the following:
-* ''Filling gaps in coverage of variants on the wiki''
+* ''Completing broken links''
-: Much of my recent work has been on [[dNetHack]], primarily supplying material on the bestiary (props to [[User:Chris|Chris]] for sharing wiki code for the infoboxes) and the [[Binder (role in dNethack)|Binder]] role.  I am more cautious about writing about the special racial roles (Hedrow and Female Drow Noble, Elf, Dwarf Knight, etc.) and the new roles (Bard and Anachrononaut), as I haven't had the chance to play them yet.
+: Using the list of [[Special:WantedPages|Wanted Pages]] as a guide.
-: I also want to do some work on patches and older variants, because the more I read about these, the more I realize how much of their material shows up in newer variants, especially [[Slash'EM Extended]] and [[SLASHTHEM]].  So by finding homes for links for these older patches/variants, I can also shed some light on a few of the many, ''many'' new monsters and items in those variants.  Right now I have copies of the code for [[NetHack--]] and [[SLASH 6]], so there may be some new material coming up on those variants.
+* ''Updating NetHack 3.4.3 pages to 3.6.0''
-: I have also done some work on [[UnNetHack]] 5.1.0, which I will probably revisit soon.
+* ''Filling gaps in coverage of variants on the wiki''
+: Mostly active variants like [[UnNetHack]] and [[dNetHack]], but I have also done some work on influential older variants and patches like [[NetHack--]], the [[Biodiversity patch]], and [[NetHack: The Next Generation]].
 * ''General proofreading of content''
-: Not restricted to variants.
+: Not restricted to variants.  This happens somewhat randomly, as my practice whenever I see pages that could be improved is to add them to my watchlist and then do the edits when I have more time.
