| Samuel Bronson | SamB | Build system, code clean-up, ZotDef. | |||||||||||||||
| Jude Brown | bookofjude, due | Portal vaults and Lua miracle worker. Leans toward design but less so than dpeg.

| Neil Moore | \amethyst | Twisted Resurrection rewrite; form-mutation interaction; bursty abyss morphing; orb spider implementation; Deal Four; assorted bugfixes and cleanup. Maintainer of crawl.s-z.org and the Cheibriados and Sizzell bots. Not a very good player. | |||||||||||||||

The author of the disintegration effect that causes chunks and blood to spatter everywhere, but probably a very nice person otherwise. On indefinite hiatus from Crawl. | |||||||||||||||
| Aaron Pixton | elliptic | Plays a lot; codes easy stuff; in charge of the tournament scripts. | |||||||||||||||
| David Ploog | dpeg, dploog | Gods. | |||||||||||||||
