Talk:Izchak

Is it necessary to detail every use of Izchak's name in Nethack? I think trivia such as official screenshots need not be documented. 69.11.189.85 23:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that there is plenty of room in this wiki for trivia (if it is on topic). We can always add more sections or make more articles. Is that not so? --Kernigh 01:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

The question came up in #nethack about whether it was actually poor form to steal from Izchak, and the consensus was that as it's his code that makes shk theft possible, it's not actually poor form or rude or whatever. Shrug. Just putting that out there --Derekstiles 01:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Half of #nethack's population weren't even born in 1994, probably. And I wouldn't personally take their advice on what is and is not rude; I've been there. Not that RGRN is any better, but... --192.193.245.16 08:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. Does inventing the baseball bat make it okay for you to be clocked upside the head with one? No, of course not. Come on, man. Izchak made a lot of things possible. Just give him the respect he deserves. I mean, stealing from him's like stealing from his memorial site. Lame.

I think it might be a good idea to include information on whether there is any actual ramifications (outside the usual alignment ones) from stealing from/killing Izchak. How about trying to sacrifice his body? Any Izchak-specific code? Just a thought 194.197.164.130 12:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

There isn't any code enforcing this rule. It's purely an etiquette consideration. --GreyKnight 08:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
