& "My godGoddesses and Gods operate in ones, threesomes, or whole
pantheons of nine or more (see Religion). Most of them claim
to have made the world, and this is indeed a likely claim in
the case of threesomes or pantheons: Fantasyland does have
the air of having been made by a committee. But all Goddesses
and Gods, whether they say they made the world or not, have
very detailed short-term plans for it which they are determined
to carry out. Consequently they tend to push people into the
required actions by the use of coincidence or Prophecy, or just
by narrowing down your available choices of what to do next:
if a deity is pushing you, things will go miserably badly until
there is only one choice left to you.

Well, the underlying idea was good, but I think it could have been carried off a lot better.

Oh, no! It's not strictly NetHack-related! Kill it quickly, before the originality spreads!

It's not that it's not strictly nethack-related -- it continues from yesterday, and yesterday's was hilarious. It's just that this one is weak and kind of lacks any real joke.

not funny.

PS: I hate the 'which character' questions. I can never remember them, I use a different glyph set:

Interesting point Sparr. The same thing would happen for people who use the graphical front-ends. Maybe the questions could pertain to the content of the game somehow? Like "Which scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone,
With many a scalding tear and many a groan,
When at my feet emerg'd an old man's hand,
Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand.
I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd
Those treasures--touch'd the knuckles--they unclasp'd--
I caught a finger: but the downward weight
O'erpowered me--it sank. Then 'gan abate
The storm, and through chill aguish gloom outburst
The comfortable sun. I was athirst
To search the book, and in the warming air
Parted its dripping leaves with eager care.
Strange matters did it treat of, and drew on
My soul page after page, till well-nigh won
Into forgetfulness; when, stupefied,
I read these words, and read again, and tried
My eyes against the heavens, and read again.

Meh. If you need little pictures for nethack, you're not hardcore, man! heh.
But really, knowing the ascii is kind of important for reading the comic. Think of it as an educational quiz for the ascii-impaired.
