2015 Aug 11 Tue:
19:17 <dtype> new NAO is lucky!
19:17 <jballanc> and how!
19:17 <FIQ> new NAO rng is evil
19:17 <CuriousShadow> so migration is over, eh?
19:24 <Demo> cant remember anymore, can sokoban come before the oracle?
19:25 <CuriousShadow> after
19:25 <FIQ> evil patch idea: give Kaen a guranteed wand of teleportation
19:25 <CuriousShadow> very next level, in fact
2015 Aug 12 Wed:
13:15 <kerio> the fuck is pentadactyl
13:15 <jonadab> Oh, wait, does it specify only some of the colors?
13:15 <jonadab> Specifying only some of the colors is evil.
13:15 <kerio> jonadab: it specifies no colors
15:04 <stenno> Kappa
15:04 <FIQ> fair enough
15:04 <FIQ> YASI: dwarves drink any potions of booze they find
15:05 <Demo> I am dwarvish

11:30 -!- MPR [MPR@junethack/teamsplat/mpr] has joined #NetHack
11:31 <Tachoh> ais523: your ring finger is your only finger if you only have 1 finger
11:31 <Wooble> Evil Patch Idea: you can put a second ring on either hand, but both rings and your hand explode.
11:31 <Tachoh> since that's the finger that rings would go on
11:38 -!- MPR [MPR@cpe-69-206-168-178.hvc.res.rr.com] has quit [Changing host]
11:38 -!- MPR [MPR@junethack/teamsplat/mpr] has joined #NetHack
11:39 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: whenever you put on a ring, the game asks you which of your ten fingers to put it on. You can wear rings on all ten fingers. But they only /do/ anything on the ring fingers.
11:39 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea, Expanded: which finger on each hand is the correct finger for rings is randomized each game.
11:40 -!- nht [~nht@cpc71475-bagu13-2-0-cust439.1-3.cable.virginm.net] has quit [Client Quit]
11:41 <Rodney> stepvhen (Wiz Elf Fem Cha), 181 points, T:845, killed by a boulder
2015 Aug 25 Tue:
21:38 <ais523> is it meant to be a full reset, or to just fix the immediate problem, or somewhere in between?
21:39 <ais523> Pokémon Mystery Dungeon's lifesaving is a full reset and this is highly important to the game's strategy
21:39 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: life saving resets you to your starting attribute values, including experience and max HP.
21:39 <Menche> woo, 120 updates
2015 Aug 26 Wed:
21:29 <Rodney> rhe7 (Val Dwa Fem Law), 502 points, T:1701, killed by Mr. Annootok, the shopkeeper
21:30 <zomgreg> well, in this case I'm guaranteed the Heart so long as I can complete the quest!
21:32 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: put a river of lava across the middle of the Barbarian quest locate level.
21:33 <Rodney> rhe7 (Bar Orc Fem Cha), 32 points, T:246, poisoned by a rotted fox corpse
2015 Aug 27 Thu:
02:08 -!- sauvin [~sauvin@about/linux/staff/sauvin] has joined #NetHack
02:08 <Rodney> Ashana (Wiz Elf Fem Cha), 1351 points, T:1135, killed by a dwarf
02:12 <Menche> Evil Patch Idea: hurting a shopkeeper's mimic angers the shopkeeper
02:12 <CuriousShadow> mmm
02:28 -!- mrak [~mrak@p5DCF8025.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Client Quit]
02:30 -!- Moonsilence [~Moonsilen@aftr-37-201-224-172.unity-media.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
02:37 <greywolf> Menche: re: EPI: ...but only as long as the mimic is inside the shop.
02:37 <Menche> meh, fair enough
2015 Aug 31 Mon:
04:20 <CuriousShadow> went barefoot from then on, eh?
04:21 <Mandevil> CuriousShadow: No, but still.
04:21 <FIQ> evil patch idea: learn monsters how to work-around E
04:21 <Mandevil> CuriousShadow: In a game where you get 3 wishes and that's all every little bit counts.
06:16 <Mandevil> Vorpal jabberwock.
06:19 <Mandevil> T:28661 A cloud of gas puts you to sleep! ... wtf? I have sleep res!
06:19 -!- ShivanHunterLapt [~quassel@2601:742:100:18fb:e98e:1bcd:24b5:a239] has quit [Quit: Evil Patch Idea: water elementals have an engulfing drowning attack]
06:19 <Mandevil> Hm.
2015 Sep 01 Tue:
01:20 <Rodney> Vithos (Wiz Hum Mal Cha), 38580 points, T:12708, killed by Juiblex
01:20 -!- Harudoku [~chatzilla@c-50-183-76-100.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
01:21 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: whenever you use a resistance (i.e., when it blocks something from happening to you), there is one chance in ten that you use it up and are no longer resistant.
01:21 <greywolf> There is something in the kill code that makes it less likely to generate a corpse near an altar, I am certain.
01:22 <Rodney> https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=Fishumz&go=1
01:22 <attie> :P
01:22 <jonadab> greywolf: Evil Patch Idea: all versions of Minetown shall now be considered graveyard levels.
01:22 <Fishumz> ICWUTUDID
01:30 <greywolf> CoMR comes pretty close, though.
01:30 <greywolf> (or GDSM)
01:30 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: a lizard corpse only saves you from stoning if you eat the whole thing in one go.
01:30 <greywolf> nice. /SM
01:31 <Fishumz> Vampire or Flayer
01:31 -!- sartan_ [~sartan@unaffiliated/sartan] has quit [Client Quit]
01:31 <greywolf> Evil patch idea: Any player named "jonadab" instantly polymorphs, shudders, and dies.
01:31 <Fishumz> Lol
16:32 <raisse> so I'm running into monsters' fire bolts as if there's no tomorrow
16:33 -!- Simokon [~Simokon@2607:fc48:400:2:2cea:343b:a299:431b] has joined #NetHack
16:33 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: each color of DSM grants its normal positive extrinsic but also a negative extrinsic (fumbling, restful sleep, aggravate monster, etc.) Which negative goes with which color is randomized at game start.
16:34 <Jubilex> Or you could make it as a incentive to use the worse DSMs
16:38 <ais523> I guess you could add things like stormbringeritis
16:38 <ObsequiousNewt_> ouch
16:38 <ais523> although in the Evil Variant that's probably just turned on constantly
16:38 <raisse> ais523: fumbling, sleep, aggravate monster, conflict, teleportitis, polymorphitis.
16:41 <jonadab> My first guess would be, it's special-cased.
16:41 -!- prehensileNipple [~nooblet@101.98.211.252] has joined #NetHack
16:42 <greywolf> That is definitely an evil patch idea. I think the side effects should be negatable via blessing, myself.
16:42 <ais523> raisse: there are definitely games where I'd be happy to have intrinsic conflict from the start
16:53 <FIQ> haha
16:54 <ais523> raisse: maybe they're different shapes
16:54 <FIQ> YASI: monsters denoted with colors get their colors stripped if you're blind
16:54 <raisse> ph right
2015 Sep 03 Thu:
03:13 <Fishumz> Chance on apply: Inflict poison damage.
03:14 <Rodney> lowhope (Mon Hum Fem Neu) wished for "blessed fixed +3 hawaiian shirt", on turn 18275
03:14 <ChrisS67> sounds like an evil patch idea
03:14 -!- zadock [~outsider@109.166.132.33] has joined #NetHack
11:38 <FIQ> it's actually a trap in NitroHack
11:38 <FIQ> the trembling things is from Un
11:39 <Wooble> evil patch idea: VS moves around
11:40 <jonadab> Wooble: Haha. I kind of like that.
2015 Sep 04 Fri:
17:35 <Rodney> Gorgash (Wiz Orc Fem Cha), 4462 points, T:3818, killed by Mr. Cahersiveen, the shopkeeper
17:35 <Rodney> floppyslayer (Wiz Elf Fem Cha), 172 points, T:1036, killed by a jackal, while fainted from lack of food
17:35 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: a monster attack that increases the weight of each of the items in your inventory -- recursively including the contents of containers.
17:36 <ais523> jonadab: ooh, that actually works with the secret truth behind the Evil Variant, too
17:36 <ais523> (which isn't generally known because it's secret, and which is secret for reasons that are also secret)
17:37 -!- Cat_nip [~korin@62.212.72.204] has joined #NetHack
2015 Sep 05 Sat:
09:38 <jonadab> I think it may also matter whether you are wearing gloves.
09:38 <Rodney> fusentrap (Tou Hum Fem Neu), 644 points, T:714, killed by a rabid rat
09:39 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: new random appearance for gloves, fingerless gloves. If the gloves you are wearing are fingerless, they don't protect you from stoning when picking up a trice corpse.
09:39 <ChrisE> Yeti218: Yes, that is what I am saying. When you are blind and not wearing gloves. And I did wiztest it.
2015 Sep 07 Mon:
21:34 -!- Pacra [~PAcra@c-73-165-39-38.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #NetHack
21:35 <oh6> object identification might be avoided by having very many more appearances than are actually used, and shuffling in new appearances for forgotten objects, but oof
21:35 <ChrisE> Okay, but you might have distinctive numbers of things in your inventory and/or stashes.
21:36 <oh6> yeah, that was my next thought
21:36 <oh6> I can think of a variation that might make sense, but wow it would be evil
21:37 -!- code_zombie [~code_zomb@c-174-58-144-184.hsd1.ks.comcast.net] has joined #NetHack
2015 Sep 11 Fri:
14:24 <ChrisE> Because Juiblex is not a soldier or watchman.
14:25 <Rodney> blueseph (Wiz Elf Mal Cha), 3004 points, T:1921, killed by a dwarf
14:25 <Wooble> Evil Patch Idea: Juiblex is a watchman
14:27 <Rodney> Joewe27 (Hea Hum Fem Neu), 174 points, T:1405, died of starvation
14:28 -!- sauvin [~sauvin@about/linux/staff/sauvin] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
14:28 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: killing Juiblex counts as murder, even if he's hostile.

17:13 -!- drtsyke [~drtsyke@dsl-tkubrasgw2-54faa2-211.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #NetHack
17:13 <Yeti218> Lol is the biggest esports game there is right? Not sure if there are tournaments that big though
17:13 <CuriousShadow> maybe the wand is evil
17:14 <kerio> Yeti218: well, ASSFAGGOTS can be quite micro intensive
2015 Sep 15 Tue:
16:01 <raisse> bhaak: yes
16:01 <raisse> I think
16:01 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: a trap that makes you deathly ill.
16:01 <bhaak> really sounds like a predecessor to slashem :)
2015 Sep 18 Fri:
20:47 <Phnogg> ah ok, I figured that would be the difference
20:47 -!- kralcyor [c0f93c6f@gateway/web/freenode/ip.192.249.60.111] has joined #NetHack
20:52 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: the invocation can only be performed if all seven of the candles attached to the candelabrum are blessed wax candles, each with a different amount of wax remaining.
20:52 <jonadab> They must be attached in order, longest (least-used) first.
20:59 <Phnogg> wait so tallow candles won't actually work?
21:01 <Phnogg> wiki says, "You can mix different candle types on the Candelabrum. "
21:01 <ishanyx> that was an Evil Variant idea, it works fine in vanilla
21:01 <Phnogg> oh oh ok
2015 Sep 19 Sat:
14:29 <CuriousShadow> oh ho
14:30 <Rodney> chefbeardy (Wiz Hum Mal Neu), 126 points, T:714, killed by a newt
14:30 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: Spellbook of Fumbling. This spell is never assigned a spell letter; but if you know it, attempting to cast any other spell has a 1-in-spells-known chance of being fumbling instead: this gives you 5d50 (more) turns of temporary fumbling.
14:31 <murphy_> ouch
2015 Sep 22 Tue:
08:18 <Rodney> lombard (Rog Orc Mal Cha) averted death, on turn 32181
08:20 <Rodney> Mushroomi (Val Hum Fem Law) wished for "magic marker", on turn 17160
08:24 <Wooble> Mandevil: Evil Patch: sometimes it's your own species.

08:30 -!- mwk [~mwk@fsf/member/mwk] has joined #NetHack
08:34 <ChrisE> That ends up looking not so much like an Evil Patch as a Slight Inconvenience On Starting The Game Patch.
08:34 <ChrisE> I doubt players would respect that sort of ending when tracking their streaks.
08:38 <ChrisE> Yes...
08:38 <Wooble> Nehpets: sure.
08:38 <ChrisE> I guess the real outcome from this, or indeed most, 'Evil Patch Idea' would be that people probably wouldn't play it.
08:43 <Wooble> people apparently play slashem extended...
08:44 <Rodney> Mushroomi (Val Hum Fem Law) wished for "blessed magic marker", on turn 17972
08:44 <ais523> Wooble: one of the main reasons that I don't work on the Evil Variant any more is that I got outcompeted :-(
08:45 <Wooble> find a way to make variant creation into a nomic. I'm sure it could get much more insane and evil that way.
2015 Sep 24 Thu:
08:55 <Grasshopper> maybe if I zap speed at this long worm it'll get to my altar faster
08:56 <FIQ> lol
08:57 <Grasshopper> ok last cursed create monster ... unless I create some more (evil idea!)
08:57 <Rodney> Tedankhamen (Val Dwa Fem Law), 112 points, T:239, killed by a winged gargoyle

18:41 <dograt> stenno: like first nethack game played?
18:41 <ais523> jonadab: it's not hard compared to the Evil Variant either
18:41 <jonadab> Heh.
2015 Sep 27 Sun:
10:29 <inari> just Evil
10:29 <inari> make yourself known, or I kill your cat
10:30 <Nehpets> that cat is evil, id kill it if i were you
10:30 <inari> Evil is mine now

07:40 -!- iuz [~iuz@unaffiliated/iuz] has joined #NetHack
07:42 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: weremonsters can infect other monsters with lycanthropy.
07:42 <raisse> "The kobold looks feverish. The kobold turns into a werejackal!"
09:01 <raisse> ad
09:02 <inari> I’ve got nothing really, well, cursed ring of levitation
09:02 <ais523> Evil Variant: chickatrice corpses are sometimes described as "food ration"
09:02 <Grasshopper__> oh lots of junk and some scrolls and potions n stuff
2015 Oct 03 Sat:
08:57 <Erisian_Vagabond> That being, you shouldn't leave the dungeon as a mortal- ascend to demigod status, or (descend?) to dead
08:57 <FIQ> I always imagined quitting as an user interface method of "suicide"
08:57 <jonadab> Evil Patch Idea: if you pick up anything that isn't strictly required to win the game, "You have touched the forbidden treasure! Now you will never again see the light of day!", and the floor starts turning to lava.
08:57 <Rodney> ubiquity (Wiz Elf Mal Cha) wished for "blessed spellbook of identify", on turn 354
