And here is why...
This is a story of a young knight named KingThomas, who once dreamed
of getting the high score on my school's nethakc server.  I have never
ascended before, and this was my most promising character yet.  I had

I have the very distinct memory that whenever I quaff from a
polymorphing fountain my character always turns into a Xorn. Without a
ring of polymorph control unless you stay in a room you can become
stuck. I was next to a store s wall escaping a mimic when polymorph

The story so far:
I got a new laptop thanks to my wrok (they think that means I can wrok
24/7, oh well.)
Fresh install of vanilla 3.4.3.  First game I start an elven wizard.

I would expect these spoilers circa 2001-2002 to be well established
in the official site. Searching for them is a nuisance and reading the
code is not optimum. Would anyone care collecting them and bringing
them up to date, literally up the group stack to this date?

Is NetHack a "role playing game"?
The spoiler information below suggests that if you
_don't_ adjust your play specifically to your role,
you are going to miss out on goodies, in some cases

After the Samurai I am now trying to ascend as a Knight, and the RNG is
very kind with me.
Right now (Dlvl 3, Knight lvl 5), I have :
- a co-aligned altar at Dlvl 1

I've forgotten my password on nethack.alt.org.  The account apparently
still exists, as it won't let me create another with that name.
Is there a means to recover or reset passwords?
Uhm, and there's a possibility that the email used was from a long

Immediately after sacrificing a gray unicorn on a
lawful altar (and being told I was "thoroughly on
the right path"), my lawful knight ate an (already
IDed) tin of spinach.

... reading lots of spoilers? I've been trying for years, and I've
gotten pretty far, but I think I'm going to give up and see what you
need to do.

So I wrote out a long post saying hi, and talking about various
highlights of my current game, but I lost it due to stupidity.
Anyway, Hi All, I'm a bit of a newb but I got to gehenon several years
ago and am now trying the game again.  I am now at the castle and have

I still can't believe it. More than a year after my first game, I finally
ascended. And this was with my first character ever to enter the Valley !
Just in case : there are spoilers after this line.
So... I started this game two weeks ago, during the Full Moon. I got a co-

I just started up a Neutral Human Wizard and found Greyswandir in a
general store on DL2

What is the relation(ship) between Nethack and Pokemon DS series (and
Shiren, and Izuna and Tao and others) commercial dungeon crawlers? Any
real life information whether one of the _original_ nethack
programmers is also in the commercial company s staff? Or any

Has anyone else run into dungeons that cannot be continued? There are
no stairs to the next level. I have run into too many... Any way to
continue these dungeons? I can't figure one out. I've played many
games as a Samurai and almost half have been failures do to not being
