Revision as of 23:09, 5 December 2023
I've been playing Crawl on CBR2 since August 2023. The security certificate for CBR2 expired on November 24, 2023 before being restored on December 5, 2023, so I switched to CKO during that time. A recent discussion on Discord revealed that CKO is shutting down sometime in February, and the 0.31 release is planned to be in January. The return of CBR2 makes the former a non-issue. I currently have active games on both servers, so I'll finish those before deciding which server to do the tournament on. After the tournament, I'll be playing 0.31 on CBR2. Here's my stats page. (technically not the official one, but it has more info than what CAO has)
Diary of a Crawler
I read some diaries before joining the wiki and found the concept interesting. The existing diaries are all from old versions though, so I decided to write one of my own to document modern gameplay. Here are a few things to know about what my diary writing will be like:
- I'm not much of a roleplayer, so I expect my diaries to be more factual in nature.
- I play online, so my characters always have the same name. This means the diaries will go in my userspace. The page name will be formatted SSBB^GOD, where SS is the species code, BB is the background code, and GOD is the god my character worships. For example, my first win was with a Gargoyle Monk of Makhleb, so its format would be GrMo^Makhleb.
I now have a diary at User:Patrick2011b/FoVM^Ru, which documents a Formicid Venom Mage of Ru from D:1 to D:11. The writing took a lot of time, and a discussion on Discord revealed that there isn't much interest in this form of recording gameplay, so I won't be writing any more diaries. I'll keep playing the character without further writing. When I'm done with the character, I'll add a link to the morgue and add a quick summary of the rest of the game in the diary.
