Did you know that Salty Dogs are always cheap in BoozerBear's shop? They're not especially saly, but they are salty.

That's because Boozer is one of the foremost white-hat bugfinders in KoL's history, which is where he got millions of Salty Dogs in the first place.

But since the stats are:
* Salty Dog: 3-6 Adv, 4-5 Myst subpoints, 3 Drunkenness
* Especially Salty Dog: 9-15 Adv, ~40 Muscle AND Myst AND Moxie subpoints, 4 Drunkenness

It's not hard to see why ESDs are highly prized. They require brine, alas.

I went on an item-collecting spree with my latest incarnation today, thanks to the Canadian Mind-Control Machine. I now have the Vertebra of the Bonerdagon, the Boss Bat Britches, and the Glass Balls of the Goblin King.

I need to do a Mysticality sign some time...

I was just happy to get the Bonerdagon on a Mysticality day today (in hardcore).

Okay, I am now totally in love with the Dark Dungeon's potions. Once you dope out which is which, +25% Moxie, Muscle and/or Myst for 10 turns for chump change at the Mall? That is an absolute godsend for the Castle in the Sky.

Definitely. And since it changes with each ascention, the bad potions you found while adventuring could be come good ones next time around.

Plus, while adventuring in the Dungeon, you can now buy wands, which can drastically decrease adventures spent searching for outfits in hardcore.

Wow, ANOTHER Especially Salty Dog day at the Gnomish Micromicrobrewery. How are base stats of 34 - 34 - _59_ for the first day of a new Ascension? Damn.

I failed to play for too long in a row. :(

My character seems to have been deleted.

That sucks.

If you buy a Mr. Accessory (for ten real dollars), and keep it in your inventory overnight, tour character becomes permanently immune to deletion.

Too late for you now, but if you aren't totally turned off, it's something to keep in mind.

Plus, Mr. Accessories are really cool.

No, I may actually try to play again, with something cooler than a seal clubber.

What do you guys think ... pastamancer, disco bandit or accordion thief As a follower of the FSM, I kind of like pastamancer, but the other classes just sound so darn cool!

Any of those would be good.

I suppose a three-day Ascension shouldn't count when one of them is the Feast of Boris... (629 turns total, so it might've worked even on a normal day.)

I'm a pastamancer fan myself, but I've never played as an accordion thief or a seal clubber.

can somone give me the answers to the altar of literacy

That's pretty good.
