Ascension Address: ASCENSION address. Get it?

It is written in the Book of Darth Cliche:

After the creation, the cruel god Anthony rebelled against the authority of Kevan the Creator. Anthony stole from Kevan the most powerful of all the artifacts of the gods, the Amulet of Yendor, and he hid it in the dark cavities of Gehennom, the Under World, where he now lurks, and bides his time.

Your god Darth Cliche seeks to possess the Amulet, and with it to gain deserved ascendance over other gods.

You, a newly trained Nomic-Player, have been heralded from birth as the instrument of Darth Cliche. You are destined to recover the Amulet for your deity, or die in the attempt. Your hour of destiny has come. For the sake of us all: Go bravely with Darth Cliche!

Repeal all dynastic rules (even though they’re all nonexistent. I like repealing all dynastic rules). Replace Blognomicker with @ and Victorious Blognomicker with RNG throughout the ruleset. Welcome to the NetHack Dynasty!

No, we haven’t, Wak, I have no idea what you’re talking about. (Unless you’re making a joke about the continued cycle of death in NetHack, of course.)

(It’s always been Random Number God to me, but ok.)

@Hix: I see you use showexp too.

Remember to turn it off when it would push status changes off the screen. There are only a few things more embarassing than dying to Famine on Astral because showexp pushed the delayed instadeath offscreen…

Can someone make the blockquote colors something with more contrast?  I can barely read them.

Well I never played nethack so I’ll just imagine this is the “Adventurers questing for holy amulet” Dynasty

RNG isn’t Random Number Generator?

RNG stands for Random Number Generator formally, but is anthropomorphized into the Random Number/NetHack God by NetHack players.
