Ah, a great one, again! But Nethack unfortunately isn't this easy :-)
I hope the Spammers won't come back...

Of course it's o's turn so that game is unbeatable if o is smart. If o isn't smart then x will win.

Yes there is a trap there Mark, but I'm guessing Dudley's playing x's on his turn... I don't think the spammers shall return, but I hope Dudley gets a ring ofThree Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Maybe Dudley can use this one to avert Global Thermonuclear War[Pestilence:] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white
horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

[War:] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the
second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another
horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon
to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one
another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

[Famine:] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the
third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black
horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his
hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley
for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

[Death:] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and
behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

.. On second thought, maybe Dudley should have someone else do it for him. Heh.

Anyway, it's nice to have things back to normal here.. And I love the 'Nethack test' idea.

Depends on whose turn it is. If it's the grid bugs' turn, they win. If it's the orcs' turn, it'll end up in a tie

Actually, if you look closely, "o" will win no matter what.

Regarding the above: I meant "x"

Stupid typos.

mmh, IMHO, next turn should look like this :

. . o
. x o

...as the monsters rush forward to kill Dudley.

...and the turn after is gonna be DYWYPI...so no-one wins the tictactoe game!

First comment: 15 October, 2004 3 comments written
Crawler, you forgot one thing: Grid bugs don't do diagonals. So it'd probably be:

. x .
. oo
xx@

Of course, you'd be right if those are actually xorns instead...

Specify what? (type the word) x
x a xanThey sent their friend the mosquito [xan] ahead of them to
find out what lay ahead. "Since you are the one who sucks
the blood of men walking along paths," they told the mosquito,
"go and sting the men of Xibalba." The mosquito flew
down the dark road to the Underworld. Entering the house of
the Lords of Death, he stung the first person that he saw...

The mosquito stung this man as well, and when he yelled, the
man next to him asked, "Gathered Blood, what's wrong?" So
he flew along the row stinging all the seated men until he
knew the names of all twelve.

or other mythical/fantastic insect
Specify what? (type the word) X
X a xornA distant cousin of the earth elemental, the xorn has the
ability to shift the cells of its body around in such a way
that it becomes porous to inert material. This gives it the
ability to pass through any obstacle that might be between it
and its next meal.

Sorry, but though I found the strip funny, x will not win because it's not x's turn, 'tis o's turn. :)

Great strip though.

x will win, despite it being o's turn. o can choose to block either the diagnal, or the left vertical, but not both.
