} Supplicant, you've got it all backwards. After all, this is NetHack
} we're talking about. Now, here's what you do:
}
} Don't worry about breaking the addiction, just head off to the
} university.
}
} Once you're there, sign all of your work "@" (or 'x' if you're doing
} #conduct illiterate).
}
} Use a pick-axe to create shorter routes between your classes.
}
} Tell your prof.'s that if they ever need anything, they can just place
} a magic portal around subbasement 12.
}
} Go around campus killing everything in sight. Occasionally, announce
} to anyone near by that you have gained a level.
}
} Don't forget to eat the corpses of what you kill, either. Finding food
} on a college campus can be tough.
}
} Post a YANI on RGRN that the campus should get a cafeteria so you can
} stop killing students for food (though not of you're own species, of
} course. Unless you're chaotic.)
}
} If you ever need to borrow a text book and the owner refuses (possibly
} because you're holding the corpse of a partially eaten student),
} complain that they won't need it for another 20,000 turns anyway. Wait
} till said person is over water and then steal their ring of levitation.
} Then no one can use the book, and that's what selfish people deserve.
}
} Instead of doing your homework and studying, spend all night quaffing
} unidentified potions. Call it research, and say that there's nothing
} you really don't want to drink, as long as it isn't cursed. (Helpful
} hint: you can convert the altar in the school chapel by sacrificing
} your grades on it).
}
} If you're ever low on cash, considering dealing your excess potions of
} hallucination and confusion.
}
} Hang around fountains, and #chat with anyone who appears.
}
} If the campus has a storage facility/steam pipes/what have you below
} it, go there: if it's sufficiently mazelike, consider forsaking the
} college and descending for the amulet.
}
} When exams come around, complain that your pen is out of charges and
} that you just used your last blessed scroll of charging last night at
} the bar, on your ring of adornment (it really DOES helps pick up
} beautiful women. Another method is to find homely women and zap them
} with a wand of polymorph until they become a 'new human' with better
} stats).
}
} Eventually, if you follow these instructions carefully, you'll flunk
} out and quite possibly get arrested and wind up in an asylum. And then
} you have plenty of time for NetHack.
}
} You owe the Oracle 500 zorkmids for this major consultation.
}
} P.S. This really is the only way. Nothing's going to cure you of the
} desire; not even actually managing to get the blasted Amulet.
