And why does Joe Bay post so infrequently? Can curing cancer take
THAT MUCH of his time? And how come Kevin S Wilson never posts
any more?

But can't you already get that without the llllamas at:

Buying stuff at the Dungeon Store is for LOSERS! You STEAL stuff from
the store, or at least get your little puppy to steal it for you. Or
you can buy stuff by dropping money on the floor of the shop to get
credit, and then get your kitten to steal the money! Either way is
ok. Or you can get your pet pony to be polymorphed into a dragon, and
then it'll kill the shopkeeper, and you can steal EVERYTHING!

I'm about to find Vlad in his tower and KILLERATE HIM, in a game of
Nethack. SO THERE!

Aren'y you supposed to announce that you're going to law school now?
I mean, it's in the script.

Joe Bay has polymorphed into a trapper keeper, and is eating trappers.

Fine. Start up a game of Nethack, work out which scroll or wand or
ring does teleporting (or eat a leprechaun or nymph), grab a bunch of
stuff in a store, and teleport out of there. You'll have Kops after
you for ages! And the shopkeeper will likely try to kill you. Then
you'll work out: STEALING IS NAUGHTY!

you could, of course, lure some nasty beasts into the shop, shut the
door, teleport out, and put on a ring of conflict. clear out the
remaining beasts, and the rest of the stuff is yours.

I discovered this by accident. something -- I don't remember what --
killed the shopkeeper, and I suddenly had free stuff. which was a bit
bad, since I prefer keeping shopkeepers alive and friendly so I can
try to identify items based on price.

It's not polite to call Sean a dildo.
