I'm not sure I get it either... is this trying to say that Ogden is as stupid as a mindless monster like a flaming sphereThe attack by those who want to die -- this is the attack against which you cannot prepare a perfect defense. --Human aphorism [ The Dosadi Experiment, by Frank Herbert ] Copyright (c) 1994, 1995, 1996 by the NetHack Development Team Copyright (c) 1994 by Boudewijn Wayers NetHack may be freely redistributed.

Technically, aren't you supposed to get acid blobs if you read a 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.

As I said before, the only thing I can figure is that Ogden is so stupid that he registers as a mindless monster (a flaming sphereThe attack by those who want to die -- this is the attack against which you cannot prepare a perfect defense. --Human aphorism [ The Dosadi Experiment, by Frank Herbert ] Copyright (c) 1994, 1995, 1996 by the NetHack Development Team Copyright (c) 1994 by Boudewijn Wayers NetHack may be freely redistributed.

OK... but I still don't understand why flaming spheres. That's kind of a strange choice to genocide. Unless you're trying to genocide the sun or something. (Which I could understand an orcOrcs, bipeds with a humanoid appearance, are related to the goblins, but much bigger and more dangerous. The average orc is only moderately intelligent, has broad, muscled shoulders, a short neck, a sloping forehead and a thick, dark fur. Their lower eye-teeth are pointing forward, like a boar's. Female orcs are more lightly built and bare-chested. Not needing any clothing, they do like to dress in variegated apparels. Suspicious by nature, orcs live in tribes or hordes. They tend to live underground as well as above ground (but they dislike sunlight). Orcs can use all weapons, tools and armours that are used by men. Since they don't have the talent to fashion these themselves, they are constantly hunting for them. There is nothing a horde of orcs cannot use.

I must confess, I would genocide the sun if I was able to. Oh for an eternal night spent on IRC. A man can dream... I give it an F as Fogel finally facilitates the fissipation of the facia in a facunditerous manner. And no, I'm not being facetious.

Why does the doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye.
