Tournament results, Prom pictures

The Rogue and NetHack tournaments are over now. Congratulations to Paul for winning Rogue and Gary for winning NetHack. The server will still be running, and will now be available to the general public for free. If any of your friends would like an account, link them here.

Now, here are some fantastic pictures from Prom!


The Rogue Club seniors (minus Ben Rizza, who didn't even come!)


The officers of Rogue Club (again, minus Ben Rizza)


Mission accomplished?

Rogue tournament now underway!

Attention Rogue Club members:

The official Rogue tournament is finally here! It started this morning at 12:01 AM. Next Sunday at 12:01 AM the Rogue tournament will end and the NetHack tournament will begin! Between the two tournaments we're giving away about $40 worth of prizes, so be sure to try your hand! As usual, it's free for Rogue Club members to play. (For others, it costs $2 for both tournaments.)

Visit the Rogue Club website for chat, current standings, help, and information on prizes and registration:

Rogue Club NetHack Server!

In case you missed the mass e-mailing, or if your e-mail client moved it to the spam folder... the Official Rogue Club NetHack Server is up and running again! (Technically, it's not actually the same server.) Now, instead of just NetHack, it also has Rogue and some old-school text adventure games! At some point I'll be adding some other roguelikes such as Linley's Dungeon Crawl or Ancient Domains of Mystery.

To connect to the server, you'll need a Telnet/SSH program called PuTTY. You can download it here. Type in the IP address 67.149.61.231 and click "Open". Then simply log in and play away!

If you don't have an account and would like one, e-mail me your desired username and I'll set it up for you. I'll make it so that when you log in for the first time, it'll prompt you for a password.

We're planning on having a Rogue tournament, which will start next week. We'll either be using the Rogue Club funds to buy a trophy or we'll be making some kind of prize. Be sure to get some practice in now!
