Comp 225
New competition is up.
We've just done priest and mage, so it's time to stab things for a while, Hobbit Rogue. |

Fair Play
Questions: Are all the competitions are run on local machines on the honor system? Does no one run a server where the competitions could be conducting with guarantees of fairness? I know there are real-time multiplayer servers, but nothing for single player? Doesn't angband.live do exactly this? Or is the Angband Live interface unsuitable?

I'm reluctant to simply do away with the competition on the oook.cz ladder (of which I am not the master) and force people to play online if they want to participate when there is such a healthy tradition of offline competitions. Such long held habits are not to be so easily broken.
Long term migrating the competition to online-only is certainly part of the masterplan but there are several things to accomplish before I'd want to do that. |

Sounds excellent! Is Angband.live open source? I might want to contribute.

I should warn you though, most volunteers quickly disappear off the internet after their first contribution; only kt has ever been seen again, and even then sporadically. |

My reason for really wishing for an Angband.live vanilla competition is to learn to get my play to the next level by watching folks like PowerWyrm, Elliptic, Voovus, etc, assuming they would be enticed to play in the comp.

I have never played Mangband, but I would imagine playing it teaches you bad habits for turn-based Angband and vice versa. Angband is "Oooh, the Tarrasque was just summoned; let's pause for a second and analyze my options. Can I take it out? Can I get double resistances? If not, what is the safer escape?". Mangband is "OMG the Tarrasque, must teleport fast before the next second".
