He's already dead.. "Do not pass go, do not collect 200 zorkmids" is the message you get when you die on the first turn, or before you get a move.

These conducts sound well interesting but maybe I ought to ascend once first. Or for that matter, just to descend properly.

Yeah, just ascending at all is a huge accomplishment. :) I've ascended with several of the conducts, but no pacifism yet...

If ascension would be easy Nethack would loose much of what it is and would come closer to a 20 h game that isn't worth playing again.

Indeed, but it would still be nice to have at least one ascension after playing for 10 years. ^^

After many years of non-ascension, I determined to kick it into wizmode to see what lay ahead of me... Being in wizmode, I maxed all my stats, MR, MC, and reflection. I still managed to get Rodney to kill me more than 20 times before I could get off the one level. I suck.

Don't worry Cybes, when you go into wizardEbenezum walked before me along the closest thing we could find to a path in these overgrown woods. Every few paces he would pause, so that I, burdened with a pack stuffed with arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his wizardly strides. He, as usual, carried nothing, preferring, as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.

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.
