Cast force bolt     
The glass wand'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority.
'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed. I am
Gandalf the White, who has returned from death. You have no
colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council.'
He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice.
'Saruman, your staff is broken.' There was a crack, and the
staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it
fell down at Gandalf's feet. 'Go!' said Gandalf. With a cry
Saruman fell back and crawled away.

Looks like a broken wand of'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority.

Good idea. I didn't get the joke until it was explained though.

The idea isn't bad, but the other strip had better execution.

In a way, all credit cards in Nethack are already cancelled. No shopkeeperThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

This joke has already been done before. Anyone reading through the entire archive will laugh at that one and be annoyed at this one.

Yeah, and the other one was better too...

I guess the author of this one didn't see the last one and thought it hadn't been done yet, so I won't rate this one. Do try to read through the archives...

Wands don't explode in your face when you force bolt them. They just shatter IIRC.

I forget what happens when you try to apply a credit card toward a shopkeeperThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the

resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of

. Doesn't he say something like "No checks, no credit, no problems"?

Sorry, Fredil, you even told us it was your first, and we still weren't gentle.

It's okay. Constructive criticism is always nice (though not all of it was constructive, it was constructive enough) :P There's another one of mineMade by Dwarfs. The Rule here is that the Mine is either long
deserted or at most is inhabited by a few survivors who will
make confused claims to have been driven out/decimated by humans/
other Dwarfs/Minions of the Dark Lord. Inhabited or not, this
Mine will be very complex, with many levels of galleries,
beautifully carved and engineered. What was being mined here
is not always evident, but at least some of the time it will
appear to have been Jewels, since it is customary to find
unwanted emeralds, etc., still embedded in the rock of the
walls. Metal will also be present, but only when made up into
armor and weapons (_wondrous_).

Oh, and right... wands don't explode when you bolt them in vanilla, but they do in Slash'em.

Nice to see you being such a good sport about this. I've always held that criticism is one of the most important things a creator can get, and I decline to rate out of respect for your handling of it.

I've read through the archives, but I didn't remember that one. Yeah, it was better, but this one's still OK.

Anyone that has ever tried to cancel a credit card before would wish it was that easy.

This one would have been better if the mail arrived 6 to 8 weeks later, with a bill attached requesting the entire payment in full.
