New page

== Holes ==

Suggest changing "except holes (which become visible once in the character's line of sight)" hack to "except holes", because that's what forget_traps does. It has an exception for holes. The hero always remembers holes, even before they come into the character's line of sight again.

=== The Formulas ===

Not a fan. This is costing maintenance resources, although it's possible 3.6.7 will be the last version with forgetting non-current levels. I would rather cut it off at "there is a 1/3 chance of forgetting some of the levels you have previously visited". Ditto with object discoveries.

=== Strategy ===

A user on the talk page mentioned using a scroll of amnesia on the vibrating square level if the player messed up their exploration pattern. I think that is a valid use? Of course it's not as good as confused gold detection, but it's more useful than esoteric spell sorting strategy. Plus it's a little funny. "I hate this level, gonna do it over again!"

It's the entire reason I made a sideline draft in the first place, so changes to the actual page aren't held up while we try to figure some things out. If doing this was actually a "drain" on me, I wouldn't have bothered to begin with, and if I hit a wall then I'm more than fine with finding an acceptable stopping point and putting a pin on it for later. Like I said before, this is something I've done often, with matters much less complicated.
