Aunc.1495 net.games utzoo!decvax!duke!unc!smb Tue Dec 1 13:41:13 1981 U of T Rogue (utzoo.1165 followup) We've used the same funny arrow bug -- the top score here was due to a +7, +76658 arrow with the umber hulks genocided. I also noticed that I didn't need any food on the way up, which surprised me -- another winner around here had mentioned the need for a ring of slow digestion. I'm wondering if that might be because the last thing I remember eating was some fruit rather than ordinary food. The other possible clue is that I got "a wrenching feeling in my gut" each time I went up a level. I've only the one trip back up -- my top game was yesterday -- so I don't know if that message always occurs. --Steve (Wizard of OS) Bellovin P.S. The second-place score here was also due to a funny arrow; the third-place score was due to him becoming completely invulnerable. The fourth-place game was completely legit, as far as I know -- mugged by a xorn after finding the amulet.
