I removed Krice mostly because of #1 and how it impacted the growth of the forums. He was given enough warnings and caused enough damage thru the years.

As for #2, I have never asked anyone to be "politically correct", however, the rules have always been clear on acting respectfully and not discriminating against others which I believe Krice did many times to the point he felt pretty comfortable doing it here.

As for the off-topic forum, While I agree discussion about other genres of games would be a nice thing to have, I decided to disable them because discussion there easily deviated to non-game related issues which I frankly don't have the energy to moderate over (plus it was the favorite nesting place of the damn spambots). Maybe we could have a "Other Games" board, or at least experiment a bit on it.

It's probably just spambots. Which sucks pretty bad, I'd love to only have legit accounts so we could have a better measure of the size of our community there.

I've got some interesting activities planned :)

It's just a bit busy with client work, NovaMundi (my own project), family and covid19 all around.

But I'll get to it :)

Temple of the Roguelike / Re: Maintenance and codex updates

Thank you! I have some nice plans for the temple including a modern MUD kind of thing, and reviving the roguemundi. But before diving into that I felt these actions were appropriate and needed (it's never easy)

I'm guessing you are referring to the changes in the board structure? for a long time I had already mentioned we welcomed discussion of non-traditional roguelikes, so this was just a more direct action to back those words.

I love traditional, turn-based, grid-based, character-display, perma-death, rogue-likes, but I strongly believe allowing discussions of a broader type of games that share fundamental features will help evolve both types of games, and may also make more people know about these traditional games we love.

I'm actively trying to _teach_ people about these "traditional roguelikes", instead of punishing them for not fitting my personal take of the genre, I want to pique their interest if they ever manage to land into the forums ("what's with that background image, what does it represent?"), I believe both worlds have a lot to learn from each other.

(hope it's not incorrect to bump a thread from 2016...it's still on the first page of the forum. Am I looking at the right forum for traditional roguelikes?)

Yup, it's ok to necromance threads, we need to revive discussion :)

Hey Celes, not sure if you already know about https://alt.org/nethack/

In there you can see ttyrecs of the best players (probably) for example this one: https://alt.org/nethack/trd/?file=https://alt.org/nethack/userdata/S/Spelric/ttyrec/2020-08-03.19:32:18.ttyrec (However it seems the browser ttyrec player is not working at this time, so you'd have to download the file and play it back.)

Better yet, you can just connect to the server using the browser at https://alt.org/nethack/hterm/ and see games in progress :)

Programming / Re: Order of Execution In Turn Based Roguelikes

I hadn't considered how impactful this could be, but it makes total sense. I believe the RANDOM solution would work best for most kinds of roguelikes.

* Rules of Behaviour updated:
  • Updated copy for rules 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2 and 2.3* (former 2.5)
  • Added rule 1.3 regarding non traditional roguelikes
  • Condensed rules 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 into new 2.2
  • Added section 4 for Content rules
  • Edited Moderation section, removing the reference to the Moderation log thread and the "Troll" title
  • Added Executive Actions section

New rules below:

1. Respect
1.1. Discrimination based on race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, or religious/spiritual beliefs will NOT be allowed.
1.2. Be respectful of the opinions of the other posters; if you disagree discuss in a civilized manner, and never resort to personal attacks.
1.3. The forums are open to the discussion of all subtypes of Roguelikes, including traditional turn-based roguelikes, action roguelikes ("roguelites") and, in general, procedural games with meta-progression. The debate of "what a roguelike is" has gone for ages, don't think you hold the ultimate truth about it. Do not bash people if their definition doesn't fit with yours.

2. Writing / Formatting
2.1. Make your best to write correct English, use punctuation marks, take your time to check the spelling. This is a turn-based world, there's no need to hurry
2.2. Do not deliberately make your posts inaccessible or hard to read (for example writing in ALL-CAPS, excesive formatting or "l337 writing")
2.3. Do not use foul language

4. Content
4.1. Discussion of topics unrelated to roguelikes, such as politics and religion is not allowed.
4.2. Advertising your roguelike is allowed, limit your promotion posts to 1 per week and keep a single thread for all your updates.

Moderation

Moderators at their discretion are enabled to proceed as follows:
  • Delete the content of offending posts and threads, replacing them with the text: "(Deleted as offensive)", at their discretion.
  • Delete subsequent posts regarding the discussion about deletion from the offender.

Executive Actions

Failure to comply with the above runs will result in warnings and ultimately a permanent ban if your behavior continues.
