Embarrassing NetHack moments
My NetHack experience is full of YASDs and lessons learned the hard way, and I thought it would be funny to catalog some of the more memorable ones.
- I once encountered a staircase in a shop and for some reason had a moment where I was going "I wonder where that leads?" This is how I learned that mimics can turn into >s.
- I had an argument once with a friend over whether or not monks can destroy boulders by kicking them. I swear I got this to work once. Just to show him, I created a new monk character and started kicking the first boulder I saw. This is how I learned it's possible to die by kicking something...
- ...and yes, I have died by kicking walls searching for hidden passages...
- ...but I would say my most embarrassing character death has to be the one where I kicked a pony corpse trying to move my knight's fallen steed away from a staircase so I could find it later. This was before the days when NAO could highlight hidden staircases. I don't know why I thought a level one knight of all things would be able to move something as large as a horse by kicking it, but I didn't want to bother with carrying it and I figured it was worth a shot.
- When I learned that it was a bad idea to genocide @, for some reason I took this as a challenge. While playing as a dwarf with
showraceturned on, I got a scroll of genocide and decided to see if a player dwarf still counted as @. Apparently it does.
More to come as I think of them.
