Find many of us in #nethack on irc.freenode.org. Our friendly bot Rodney announces all the embarrassing details of player deaths in channel as well. (Thanks to partycle from fishpool for the Izchak script.)

Game Info.

The game is vanilla NetHack version 3.4.3 with a few interface patches, and the options are set to NetHack defaults, but changeable with the 'Shift-O' option or in the nethackrc file, as always. Terminal options are finicky, but I find it best to turn on "color" and "DECgraphics" using most terminals that come with flavors of Linux. There is a little wrapper in place that will ask you for a login and password, and also allows registration and editing of custom options files.

The game has a couple options for showing running turn counts, point totals, and xp, as well as some coloring options for inventory and the hit point display. None of these should affect you if you don't want them.

Every game is recorded, and available for live viewing by all.

This Server.

This machine is colocated, with incredibly low latency from San Jose, CA, USA, and with the horsepower behind the machine, and with reasonable tuning, I estimate it wouldn't have trouble with 100-200 active simultaneous games or more. During peak times it isn't uncommon to see 30 or more concurrent games (as of Feb 2006). The fantastic connection comes courtesy of Hurricane Electric.

This server is of course running Debian GNU/Linux.
