User:Umbire the Phantom

Oi, my laptop keyboard's fucked up and I'm reluctant to go back to using the older one as much, so things might be a bit slow on my end. Okay? Okay.

Hi, I'm Umby on NAO (stats, games, deaths, dumplogs, ttyrecs). Also have my userpace.

Wiki administrator, frequent player, avid reader, and fan of roguelikes in general and NetHack in particular.

December 22, 2020: Finally ascended for the first time on gurr's NetHack 3.6.2 Android port. All hail Fortuna the Tourist.

February 25, 2022: First online ascension as a chaotic elven Wizard.

August 12, 2022: Ascended dual-wielding casting focused Knight.

November 30, 2022: Yet another Knight Ascension with more focus on lancing than spells, though still plenty of magic missile spam. Marked by a frantic blitz to make it to the Planes if not Astral before the tourney closed.

November 3, 2023: Neutral Monk ascended. No weapons, no body armor, no animal products eaten, no deaths, no polyself. No pets that survived. No problem.

November 19, 2023: Genocideless Elberethless Knight. Perfect I am not, but the law is the law. Be nice if all my pets didn't die again.

November 25, 2023: Elberethless caster Valk. My only regret is not wearing my cornuthaum before I ascended. At least I got pets this time!

November 30, 2023: Elberethless artiwishless Tourist. Another TNNT, another failed last-minute blitz partly due to factors outside of control - basically carried most of my inventory up minus a bunch of wands, found the altar first try, and death-wanded a red dragon that offed a high priest. Amusingly I grabbed a water elemental from the previous level that I'd tamed while re-taming a revived purple worm.

December 28, 2023: Genocideless Elberethless artiwishless polypileless human Rogue. In 3.7. Probably more impressive without the 20 wishes and subsequent skill issues as my focus drifted, but it's a good finish to cap off the year.

November 3, 2024: Something simpler for a change. Complete with awful pet luck and vast over-preparedness that still left me with tons of room for error after paring down my inventory for Astral.

November 2, 2025: Call me the Dodgers because I don't know how I fucking won that. Chaotic elven Priestess that transitioned at the finish line, no genocides, no Elbereths, no pets because I last locationed the Plane of Water portal and couldn't gather my pets before stumbling in by accident, and a Grand Tour to cap it all off. What a ride.
