heptapod.org has been around for six and a quarter years.
Proudly presented in lovingly hand-crafted xHTML and HTML 4.01 by its owner, editor and main contributor ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) raisinbottom. Unfortunately I am ignorant in the ways of various scripting languages, how to do RSS/Atom, obstinate in my refusal to use popular journaling software and I would only use something that I wrote myself.
This is a matter of pride.
Fortunately, for you gentle reader, there's ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) heptapod. An unmoderated community which only has one rule and that's becoming a member. It has been existence for quite some time, various invites were sent at its inception but none were acknowledged by the recipients. |

A yani is "Yet Another Nethack Idea"
Thunderstones. Among the pieces of worthless glass and legitimate gemstones, thunderstones will be randomly generated and be a different color in each game. Throw a thunderstone at a monster and it's like a gas spore exploded. Quiver a bunch of them and use them with one's sling. Try to engrave with one and they'll blow up on you, abuse wisdom and generate a pit.
Just need to find the bit of code that does the "wall of force" effect when a wand of striking is broken by the player. This effect really should be applied to gas spores and be very pertinent to thunderstones. |

Kokujin's dead, killed by Master Kaen or one of his minions. Either way it was a clusterfuck of astounding proportions. |

Kokujin, the monk mentioned in last night's entry, has become experience level fourteen. His luck is maxed out or at least it's pretty high.
He stumbled upon a barracks full of soldiers, sergeants and a lieutenant. Fortunately none of these had been awakened and he started killing them when a cockatrice entered the room and swiftly died to his gloves hands. Now wielding the cockatrice's corpse the rest of the barracks was turned to statues. With the help of a few wands of striking the statues were shattered and it turned out that one of the soldiers had a wand of death.
If Kokujin plays his cards right, he can easily defeat Master Kaen. It all involves playing with the speed system of NetHack and hoping that Master Kaen is directly in front of the stairs so Kokujin gets a free wand of death zap for an instakill so he can rush forward, nab the Eyes of the Overworld and the Silver Bell then get the fuck out of dodge.
By the way, Kokujin eventually got a helmet, greased it and beat that fucking mindflayer like a redheaded stepchild. No mindflayers since except I am hoping to find a scroll of genocide to wipe them out and hopefully wipe out many more nasties which can be deleterious to the health of monks. |

No seriously, crap.
NetHack post, so you might want to ignore this but I don't give a shit.
Kokujin the chaotic monk converted a neutral altar to a chaotic altar. Later he was able to lure some beasts to die on the altar to be sacrificed to Huan-ti. She was pleased and granted him a patch-only artifact called Snakeskin.
For the uninitiated Snakeskin is a robe that confers 50% physical damage reduction along with hallucination resistance and it's made for monks since monks have an issue wearing regular armor.
Needless to say the game has gone swimmingly, two large stores helped outfit Kokujin and he decided rather than doing Sokoban he would go into the Gnomish Mines to acquire the luckstone. After beating up a few dwarves and gnomes he feels a psychic wave wash over him.
Fucking mindflayer. In the Gnomish Mines. WTF. Kokujin doesn't have a helmet even though he has a can of grease and Kokujin really doesn't have any ranged weapons to throw at the mindflayer to minimize hand-to-hand combat. Also the shops didn't have any offensive wands, just wands of light and create monster. The latter isn't very good since the monsters are not created tame and it's used to simply create monsters, kill them and sacrifice them at an altar.
Anyway Kokujin went to Sokoban, reached the final level, saw that it had an Amulet of Reflection as the reward for completing Sokoban and saved the game right then and there for when I'm feeling less sleepy. |

Should I file things as "The Noun" or simply "Noun"?
Already know The Incredible Hulk should be under "I" not "H" but if it's filed under "H" then it should precede an imaginary title like "The Spectacular Hulk". |

Fuck.
Monk adhering to most conducts is on a roll. Falls into a hole, smack dab in a Big Room, random teleportation doesn't get him any closer to an exit and it's only a matter of time before he's surrounded and killed by monsters.
Fuck. |

Will the Mossad Assassinate Obama?
Aw man, if Obama's going to piss off Israel that much then I think some campaign waffling and flip-flopping can be forgiven. |
