Crawl Stone Soup Tournament: August 2008
Rachel Elizabeth Dillon
always awesome, I'm putting together the first Crawl tournament in the
style of various nethack tournaments, including the /dev/null network
tournament and Eidolos's June tournaments. Here are the basics:
* You play as many games as you want for the entirety of August.
* Wins get you meta-points, especially for the fastest or first or
streaks.
* High scores in race/class combinations get you meta-points,
especially if you have the most of them.
* Getting runes and killing uniques also get you meta-points,
so you don't need to be a Crawl Champion to get your name up
on the scoreboard.
* Clans of six players or less are encouraged and clans have their
own special additional meta-points to determine which clan wins.
* There should be at least one server in the US and at least one in
Europe; if you're interested in hosting a server, please send me
email.
You don't need to do anything to sign up other than play on CAO.
When there is specific information about the exact start/end times,
specific information about clan memberships, and a webpage with the
current status of "Who's winning each prize?," I'll post again. If it
tempts you at all, there will be actual, physical, you-not-your-character
can touch them prizes. :)
Looking forward to competing with all of you in August, and to playing
the new version of Crawl,

servers? I've downloaded PuTTy before and tried that, but it never
worked....I gave up since I never saw a real reason to play on a server, but
this tournament sounds cool.
I'm running Windows XP currently and have no SSH software.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Take a look at the docs/ssh_guide.txt file that comes along with
Crawl. You can also view it directly from here:
http://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/crawl-ref/trunk/crawl-ref/docs/ssh_guide.txt?view=markup

That would have been a good place to look. I got it working now (The one
thing i was doing wrong was I didnt change the keyboard options).
Thank you again!

Heh. I never noticed that file existed! How incredibly helpful!
One note: at the bottom of the file, it says,
"A note on telnet vs SSH from Rachel Elizabeth Dillon: 'Using SSH
means that the data is compressed in transit, reducing bandwidth usage
and hopefully making the experience a teensy bit faster as well.'"
Compression is not enabled in PuTTY by default. You need to go to the
Connection > SSH page in the options and click "Enable compression."

I'll be there, no holidays in August :P

work for me on akrasiac. Do you, maybe off the top of your head, have
any ideas what I should toggle on my telnet menu? I could send a
screenshot if that helps.
Best regards,
Mike

The display? Hrm. Yeah, send me a screenshot (my posting address works).
Are you using Windows Telnet? If so, my first response would be "Use
PuTTY, it's better." Otherwise I'm not sure.

Thanks for the advice. I guess it shows my ignorance that I didn't
even know what PuTTy was. So yeah, I've downloaded it and it's
working fine. Once I change all the keybindings I should be good. =P
Oh, and just in case it's interesting for you, I've sent shots from
windows telnet. The problem seems to be at least partially that parts
of the screen just don't refresh.

Sounds great. Can I have bonus meta-points if I can get together a bunch of
five other n00bs who have never won ;-) I might pop over to rgra and see if
I can recruit Team Angband ...
