Full drop

so... if you drop all your gold and #chat repeatedly, you will be able to get all the gold a preist carries? Is that right? How much gold do priests carry?

More than I have patience.
As much as you give them. If you manage to trap the priest, it should be a simple matter of pasting. Of course, if you really want to waste a few scrolls of earth this way, why not. A sacfest is generally faster, though Renx 12:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Trapping priests

I have an idea of walling in an aligned priest with boulders from a scroll of earth, then converting the altar. Are there any problems with that strategy? Can the priest escape or attack beyond the boulders? What are the odds (in Minetown) a dwarf of rock mole will dig him/her out?--PeterGFin 10:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

There's a thread on rgrn on that, I'll see if I can find it Renx 12:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Negative amount

You can also enter a negative amount. I don't remember the result, but I don't think it's good. Supermagle 15:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Entering a negative amount should cause "You try to shortchange the (monster), but fumble." (from bribe()) followed by "Thou shalt regret thine action!" for giving 0 gold.

Bones-file priests

When you convert a temple altar and the level becomes a bonelevel, DO NOT #chat WITH THE PRIEST. He will get angry and try to kill you. Yes, this means that minetowns with a converted altar will never yield divine AC. Renx 12:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
