Do you play Nethack?

If not, then perhaps you might want to skip this post. :)

On Monday night (4th Sep 2006) I completed my first Nethack ascension! OK, to be more accurate, it was at about 1 am on Tuesday morning. Details as follows:

You offer the Amulet of Yendor to Crom...--More--

Quibble the Conqueror St:25 Dx:18 Co:18 In:11 Wi:17 Ch:18 Neutral
Astral Plane $:25 HP:292(376) Pw:143(143) AC:-24 Xp:30/100226326 T:160346 Satia

An invisible choir sings, and you are bathed in radiance...
The voice of Crom thunders: "Congratulations, mortal!"
"In return for thy service, I grant thee the gift of Immortality!"
You ascend to the status of Demigod...
