Title: Unofficial Challenge : The Malicious Knives!
Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on December 15, 2006, 08:34
Okay, after a discussion on RGRD (link (http://angband.oook.cz/rgrm.php?showpost=87901)) an idea came up upon how far can one get just using a knife :). So I think that's a good idea to test ^_^. To make things interesting I decided to make it official, here are the rules:

1) you play a Angel of Berserk challenge
2) you play on ultra-violence
3) you may not use the chainsaw nor the LS
4) competition ends the 20th of december, at 21.00 GMT

Post your mortems here -- ONLY if you get to a LOWER level than the previous poster.

The one that posts the best mortem till the end date will be awarded a sub-title "Malicious Knives" on the Forum (will be visible under rank) :).

Let the bloodbath begin ^_^

One suggestion - you should take a number of kills in some note too... because a wise person could just >run< through a few levels.

Oh, and is using the option to start in front of level 1 rather than back (beta) availalble? :>

As there are only a little balance issues between beta and official version (in terms of a melee game), I allow both. As for the kills... hmm. You can run xD.

Thanks to everybody! I want to ask just for one thing to not create such situations, when no one can beat my record. Kornel, you should ban me from such future challenges, until it will be man, who can beat me, or i will personally ask you to participate in it. And one more: can i ask you to color my title? ;-) In some not used color, maybe(you can leave squares above number of posts orange, not to create new picture)?

Congratulations, Blade! I knew you were the only one who could do it! :-)

And if you want your title colored, I'd suggest a fitting purple color for you ;-)

Well, Turgor didn't have time to take part -- If he would then I guess you'd have someone to compete with :).

And one more: can i ask you to color my title? ;-) In some not used color, maybe(you can leave squares above number of posts orange, not to create new picture)?
When I find a way to color custom titles in SMF I'll do that :/.

I will compete with him with pleasure. I too don't have time, but result that no one can beat i got in my first try.)) So, i think he don't need many tries to do it further. And then i will be able to post my level 16 post as my answer to him))

When I find a way to color custom titles in SMF I'll do that :/.
Thanks again, waiting for it!

Pesonally i would like to see it dark-blue, but this color is already used for Grand Inquisitor title. Anyway, if it is any chance to make it dark-blue, i will be very glad!))) If no, then maybe purple or orange(the same color as squares).

I think it would be great to put the Malicious Knives challenge in the game and possibly allow a trait for wielding 2 knives (after Brute?). And allow the player to start with an Advanced Knife. :)
Title: Re: Unofficial Challenge : The Malicious Knives!
Post by: Valkeera on December 29, 2006, 04:21
I think that a special trait for wielding two knives is a waste of trait. Why just not allow to attack with two knives if you have one in hand and another in prepared slot?
