you know those things that you do and think, why the heck did i just do that? im pretty sure you have, we all have. now my question is... what to you deem to be the stupidest thing youve done in a roguelike. please include which roguelike this was.
here is mine on DoomRL
i was walking around with a chaingun feeling BAAD, so i decided to attack whatever came near me... i mistook 9 explosive barrels for enemies, as you could imagine:
me: HA... IVE GOT YOU NOW!!!!
*gunshot*
BOOM BOOM FOOM BOOM BAM BAM
random guy: oh look a penny!
BAM FOOM FOOM
i didnt die, but it was very close

I started playing the damn things.

Drink from fountain? y
That's gotten me into more trouble than anything else.

Leaning on keys for *too long* wins this one for me :P.

*votes Adral*

Forgetting to equip one of my 4 red armors while fighting the cyberdaemon at the bottom of Phobos hell

Agreed, EliG. I've lost more characters to stupid fountain deaths. On the flip side of that though, I've also found it's often a good way to gain something of value (like a wish).

There more games with fountains that pools, IVAN and incursion come to mind, I am sure there are more. Pools only occur in adom IIRC. Any way pools/fountains/sinks are all the same thing.
Stupidest thing I have done lately in a RL was one of my own, since thats all I have been playing lately, buts that is for another time :)

It's a Nethack reference. Nethack has fountains.

didnt know that :-[

Dungeon Crawl has fountains also. they're harmless as fars i know.
heres something i once did in ADOM to my immense chagrin. rather high level character returning to one of the starter dungeons, couldnt say why. i stepped on an evil shrine with some pansy level-one orc in my LoS: "the orc raises his arms and invokes [evil god]! you are consumed by flames!" didnt know they could do that. orc mustv gotten one serious piety boost.

I did that also, lost a pretty good char!!!!!
But they managed to sacrifice me just once, now I dodge every altar i see, even if its marble white... you never know

Eating elven flesh while having forgotten I was an Elf myself :o (Nethack)

Hah. The thread is still alive! Anyway the most recebt stupid thing would have to be resting in a dark room while doomed in ADOM to heal.
