About Me
I am:
A NetHack newbie (I can reliably get to the Oracle)- A NetHack afficionado, now that I have ascended (twice!)
- A Wiki newbie (but I know a little of the formatting)
But, I love NetHack and this wiki. Considering the amount of time I waste on both, I thought I should give something back. I'm pretty good with grammar and punctuation, anyway.
My first roguelike was ADOM, but I'm glad I switched to NetHack, which I find less frustrating. I'm uncomfortable applying words like easier and simpler to NetHack, so I won't, but it's certainly been a more pleasant introduction to the genre.
Despite what you've heard, I am not the Mad Categorizer.
I typically play neutral human Valkyries, although now that I've ascended a few I've been trying chaotic Rangers. This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm toying with the idea of joining Ásatrú. Really. I don't usually play on the public server, because:
- I like tiles, to my eternal shame,
- I still can't get a handle on the hjkl control scheme, and
I fear embarassment, and other peoples' bones.
This is my LJ, but I can't recommend reading it.

News, Such As It Is
2/28: I started a really good game of Nethack last night. I'm now at level ten and I've cleared the Gnomish Mines. By sheer good fortune, I have three luckstones, a cloak of magic resistance, a ring of invisibility, and maybe a wand of death, and by sheer bloodymindedness I have Mjollnir as well. The Watch of Minetown is mad at me because I was trying to dilute my potions in their fountain, like a dumbshit, but I got away unscathed, and I think I can dodge them if I need to go back. Also my pet cat got turned into a horned devil. Oh yeah, I can train my pet horned devil on the guards! Hmm....
3/1: YASD. Finished Sokoban, got a bag of holding. My pet cat-turned-devil had gone feral on me, and when I got back out of Sokoban I was going to try to convert an altar nearby. I read a scroll of create monster that I hadn't buc tested yet, and sure enough it was cursed. I killed about half of the monsters summoned though. I ended up with about 68000 points, more than twice my previous record. I just hope I never see that bones level...
5/21: Man, I haven't really played in a while. Still having fun on Wikihack though.
11/10: After five months of ignoring my news thingy, I have finally ascended! Woot!
Indeed
And yes, Andronikus is my real nickname.
