What does it mean in the Hall of fame when it says that someone saved the world "while saving themselves 81 times." Is that from an amulet of life saving? 81 times is unbelievable |

using an amulet of life saving gives something like "cheated death x times" when you beat the game (or die) Taz: A potion of gain attributes (4s) is lying here. Suddenly a stone block hits your head! Something on the ground is smashed to pieces! PeanutGod: Awwww no! How harsh is that! This is where you need the artefact 'mop and bucket'. |

81 is not too bad. If it said " while saving himself 256 times", you might think the person had save scummed. "Without stopping to save himself means" you never saved. Homework is not meant for home! It's a sick verbal coincidence! -My brother |

copying your save file out of the save data folder so you can copy it back in if you die, or keep reloading if you don't get a wish from a pool "You try to give Fang, the large dog the bone. Fang, the large dog says,"Do you know who I am, mortal?!?!" My smartest dog ever:D |

I have stopped savescumming years ago. I discovered that I still kept dying because I was not playing the game right. In my opinion, savescumming actually hinders the learning process. After I stopped, I could make it step by step towards victory. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

Wait... does that mean ADOM detected save scumming 81 times? Or simply that you saved, went and had dinner or whatever, came back and loaded 'er back up? Zoop de Whoop |

The most I ever saved was 190 times,I had to constantly save because it was thundering outside......I find that a legitimate reason to save a ton of times. "You try to give Fang, the large dog the bone. Fang, the large dog says,"Do you know who I am, mortal?!?!" My smartest dog ever:D |

No, mooseproduce, it's just the number of times you saved. However, people who savescum tend to save very frequently, so that if something goes wrong, they can load back to a point not so long ago. At least, that's the way I see it. But wouldn't wish scumming fail to be detected by that? I mean, if a person were to drink a pool and not get a wish, thus revert to the old saved game to try it again, it wouldn't be able to detect that, would it? Because the savescummer wouldn't keep saving the game; they'd just bringing back the backed up file. Molach: "I like to have 200+ hp and over 5 good healin potions when I do [the fire] temple. AND some way of killing the Wyrm" Morio: "Some way of killing the worm is recommended, yes :D" [Edited 1 time, last edit on 2/8/2007 at 15:45 (GMT -5) by Kirbot] |

....but people who savescum typically are addicts, they show no restraint.If you savescum at a pool, you'll savescum at anything. I know somebody like this. "You try to give Fang, the large dog the bone. Fang, the large dog says,"Do you know who I am, mortal?!?!" My smartest dog ever:D |
