	#intx13 (hum-fem-neu-val): First ascension! Made number #325 on the top 2000 list. Took me over 120000 turns. Was also my first time ever getting past the quest. Beyond those four things, not too notable.
	#intx13 (hum-mal-law-sam): Second ascension! Also my first game playing as a samurai. This one went a lot smoother. Favorite quote: ''You kick the invisible Vlad the Impaler.--More--<br />You destroy the invisible Vlad the Impaler!--More--''
	~~#intx13 (hum-fem-neu-cav): Finally ascended a caveman (or in this case, cavewoman). Pretty standard game, no huge hiccups. The altar~~ was ~~near Famine, the first one I tried on Astral, which was lucky. Some interesting notes:~~
	~~##I received [[Magicbane]] as a gift after my second sacrifice. Being able to engrave Elbereth in one turn in the early game was extremely useful.~~
	~~##I fought and killed [[Vlad]] using nothing more than a carrot~~. ~~Though apparently with [[Gauntlets of power]] a carrot does 9 points of damage per hit!~~
	##I ~~ascended with a pet [[woodchuck]]~~..~~. that's what happens when you're standing on the altar with a wand of wishing!~~
	#intx13 (hum-mal-neu-cav): Ascended a second caveman in what was supposed to be a "warm-up" game for a summer full of Nethacking, but looks like might be my only game for a while due to work and whatnot.

	'''Prayer''', invoked with the #pray extended command, is an action used to communicate with the player's god. The purpose of prayer is to ask for help from god, and as such, it must not be done too often. The player has a prayer "timeout", a counter which is raised when praying, and decrements one turn at a time. Only when this counter reaches zero may the player pray safely again (exceptions exist, see below). Thus prayer is usually reserved for one of a few things: saving the player from almost certain doom, performing some action the player cannot yet do (removing cursed items, getting out of walls, etc.), or creating holy water. For those players who like a challenge, avoiding any interaction with god, altars, or religion will satisfy the [[athiest]] conduct.
