I couldn't find a (recent) thread about Nethack...
I finally managed to ascend that game! YAFAP! A barbarian, which is not the hardest class by far, but still. Dodging famine on the astral plane, killing shades in Orcus town, teleporting archons out of the way on the plane of fire and eating black dragons let me win that game once. I then checked the log to see how many attempts I had made and despaired.
I'll try to ascend a tourist or an archeologist next. See you in two years?

Num pad for moving, h for help. What's complex there?

rogue like games are sorta fun but in the end they are too much effort like matth implied...

No, that was a poly-less and elbereth-less ascension.
I may have polymorphed once without desiring to, but didn't do it on purpose. I also polymorphed some items but it wasn't in order to get a nifty magic item but in order to get rid of troll corpses which I couldn't eat away or throw into a moat or give to a pet and so they'd have been painful regenerating every other turn...
Valks and barbs are easier than other characters because they tend to resist monsters and give you at least the option to flee. Plus valks with Mjollnir have extra powers.
Polymorphing is useful for two things:
-Self in order to become something than can, for instance, walk through walls, breathe water or some such.
-Items in order to change a puny wand of nothing into a nice and nifty wand of wishing, if you are very lucky. Or to change a leather armor into a grey dragon scale mail. Of course, this is very unlikely to happen, but with perseverance, you may do it.
Anyway, the one thing to remember in Nethack in order to win is: Be paranoid.

i actually started playing roguelikes again a few days ago. i've never been able to really get into them very much. it seems like too much effort for too little return but i have a decent game going right now in zangband. level 12 high elf monk with a decent robe that sustains all my stats and boots of +12 speed. i have no clue how good that stuff is but it's many times better than i've seen before.

Praying is one of the extended commands. Type #pray. Try #? to have a list of all # commands.
(I'm currently running around in Gehennom with 7 tame dragons  .)

Roguelike are random, but some more than others. I can't stand angband's infinite dungeon randomness. NH is not that random to me, it's varied. If it was less, it would get boring. ADOM is not very random.
I think the latest NH version is 3.4.3 by the way. Don't know why they stopped Falcon's Eyes. I guess it worked, the guy who did it was pleased with it and didn't bother to upgrade it so it complied/sompiled with 3.4.
