Strategy
Geeks are a slow role (movement speed 10), and their starting equipment isn't great. Acquiring better items is mandatory to survive the early game. They have a good set of available weapon and spellcasting skills, and they may even train their riding skill if they get lucky and find a saddle; riding a warhorse (preferably one zapped by a wand of speed monster) is definitely preferable to walking around by foot.
The Geek quest sees you fighting Bill Gates for the NetHack Sources.
