My new year's resolutions: 1. Lose 10 kilos 2. Improve my grades 3. Win Nethack Hmm... I'm going to have to knock out 2 or 3...

Well, 2 & 3 are great goals, but mutually exclusive. Nethack isn't called Gradewrecker for nothing.

Playing nethack is probably not the best way to lose 10kg either.

Er.. yeah, I suppose. Problem is, most of the hollow-eyed nethack-addicted geeks I know are scrawny.. but that's probably from the lack of physical excersize. I went to this place called 'outside' today, and all the lightStrange creatures formed from energy rather than matter, lights are given to self-destructive behavior when battling foes.

stares at ihope You're gonna have to knock out either 'Win Nethack' or the other two. So you're only gonna win NetHack this year.

Well there's also the possibility of putting too much effort in 3 without succeeding, resulting in no achievement this year. Believe me, concentrating on 1 and/or 2 is the best way to go.

What's easier? Making 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.

Improve grades and increase fitness. A sharp mind and healthy body will improve your problem solving ability as well as give you more focus. That will increase your chances of beating Nethack in the next 2 years! You see, if you try to beat Nethack first, your chances are much slimmer.
