Does this happen to other people as well?

I played a game fate seemed to smile upon. The
wizard had to kill a lot of monsters, but got
tons of useful scrolls and potions early on,
wands of speed, fire, digging, a lamp, a /opoly
turned my pet into a silver dragon, and I kept
wondering about my luck, when I realized I accidentally
started playing slash'em, not nethack.

And then I awoke.

Should I look for some nethacks anonymous in my neighbourhood?

Best,
Jakob

About 3-4 times a year I really get into playing Nethack for a
couple of weeks or so. Within the first few nights, I'm usually
dreaming about it. I always play ascii, so I dream in ascii too.

Or worse -- other people show up, and you end up discussing NetHack
strategy. This makes you even more excited about going back home to play a
new game.

I thought this ng was some sort of cult.

I would just like to report that the above is the
first dungeon map I ever saw Google Groups Beta
_not_ munge. What gives? Is it possible they've
done something rash, like fixing a bug? Of course,
I read in fixed point font mode, but still, ASCII
dungeon maps are usually a mess.

I did have to replace the tabs with appropriate
spaces to have the good layout survive quoting,
but OP's use of tabs isn't Google's fault.

xanthian.

Also, where are the tools (monitors and keyboards)
for a quick missing-NetHack anxiety panic attack
detox?

I hardly ever remember my dreams but the ones i do are not about
nethack. I do , however, day dream about playing nethack which drives
my wife up the wall.

Wander around until you find someplace that looks kinda like this:

Leave your pet in the pet area (cant have them moving everything around
in the meetings) walk inside, and try #chat. If it works, you are probably
in the right place

Pointless. Nethack addiction in not cureable. And since all the
other anonymous are engaged at their computer terminals you would
attend these meetings alone... - until you return to your Nethack
games yourself.

Ahh, well, maybe for some rare values of "anonymous".

I don't know. All I can say is that you probably play as much NetHack as
I used to play Tetris. For that, the only medicine was getting rid of
the blasted thing.

That's the funny thing about it, I played my last nh game
some months ago. Never was a frequent player, two to three
games a week usually, but now our son is taking up almost
all spare time. Well, finally something more fun and
challenge than nh ;-), and no authorative spoilers and
How-Tos anywhere, just preliminary ones..

Best,
Jakob

You don't play nethack anymore and you still read the group?

Ha. Just wait until you have two. Better yet, just wait until you go
on a 14 hour flight with two by yourself to visit family and then two
weeks of "vacation" until the return trip.

Oh i don't know. The same rules apply. Practice, practice practice.
The more time you spend doing it the better you get at it.

I often don't play for several weeks or months at a time, especially
after an ascension or a heartbreaking late-game YASD. I still like
discussing things with people on newsgroups, and this one is better than
most.
