(YART) yet another rogue tragedy
I just found a feature of rogue i don't like.
Upon entering level 26 with cursed armor, I had 7000 in gold.
I picked up the Amulet of Yendor, and started traveling up, back to level 1.
I felt pretty good. I still had several good wands, 5 foods and
a teleport scroll. Earlier I read two scrolls of genocide, with which
I removed Xorns and Umber Hulks. By the time I reached level 15, I was so
excited I yelled out each time I reached the stairs.
I made it, A TOTAL WINNER.
After congratulating me, rogue told me how much each of my possessions were
worth. I quickly noticed 1000 for the Amulet and then I noticed -4440 for
the cursed armor I was wearing, and -3000 for cursed armor i was carrying..
I then realize that 7000+1000-4000-3000=1000 which is not even good enough
for the top 10. Had i known that cursed armor took away gold, I could have
quit, been killed by a dragon or even a bat and still gotten on top 10.
Now i only have two witnesses that i made it out alive.
I'm retiring a broken man!
