I finally won!!!

== '''HISTORY''' ==
I first discovered NetHack in college back in the early 90's. I had started out with Moria, but didn't stick with it long. I used telnet to play, and there was no color-coding of the ASCII. I suppose it was v3.0.x back in those days. I never made it very far, I had a tendency to quaff from fountains and die, among other stupid deaths. There were no spoiler web sites back in those days, only newsgroups, irc, and the occasional txt file. I really enjoyed the dynamic nature of the game, but eventually discovered MUDs and other distractions.

I recently downloaded the windows tile-based version of 3.4.3, and decided to get back in to the game. It has held my interest enough to divert me from what I thought was an incurable Lord of the Rings Online addiction. With much help from the wiki and some other spoilers, I have finally been able to complete an ascension. One thing I really love about NetHack, is that you always learn something every time you play; there is always room for improvement no matter how well (or poorly) you play. I have waited to write this profile until I finally won the game.

== '''FIRST TIME!''' ==

Brad the Heroine (lvl 22 Valkyrie) become immortal on Wed, Jan 9, 2008. Thanks to random character generation, I ended up ascending a girl named Brad, which I find somewhat amusing. It took 108,088 turns.
I had a boatload of gold and a bag full of every valuable gemstone, plus several more amulets, but I ditched them in the top of the dungeon because I didn't want to be burdened on my first jaunt through the Elemental Planes. I had some trouble on the Plane of Air because I only had 1 [[potion of levitation]] (having previously lost a ring), but then I realized I could cover a good distance by [[kick]]ing dragons, and got lucky finding the portal. I also wasted the potion by going from one side of the clouds to the other, then back, only to later read that the portal will be on the far side of the cloud bank. On the Astral, I went to the middle altar first (Odin), then the right side (Loki), before I found Tyr's altar and became a demigoddess.

		+	Konfuzzley the Reaver (Lvl 21 Barbarian) became immortal on October 25, 2015. He was a whirling circus of death with twin blades, who found sources of wishes in wands, thrones, fountains, lamps, and potions. An early accident with a polymorph trap was averted by an unidentified ring, and things went well enough from there.
