sequell VS dcss_tourney

Major thanks to this subreddit, the wiki (so glad it’s back!), the learndb and the knowledge bots, listgame and Sequell, and the #crawl IRC channel for being incredibly valuable resources for learning about DCSS. And my profound gratitude to the Devteam for putting together an incredible game and continuing the development in the open (I lurk #crawl-dev sometimes), and Linley Henzell for writing the original Crawl back in the day.

Full manual for sequell bot commands is here: https://github.com/crawl/sequell/blob/master/docs/listgame.md

If you play online, you can use listgame to query for games, either on IRC, the Discord, or maybe in the in-game chat. For example, !log . xl=1 d:3 -2 will link to the morgue for your (".") second-to-most recent ("-2") XL 1 death on D3.

To add up, if someone wants to list/filter games happening between all servers you can use the !lg (!lg documentation) command in IRC or Discord chat servers.

So if data is what you are interested in, familiarize yourself with sequell / !lg it allows you to query morgue files. It's fairly advanced already and you can "easily" ask questions like "How many people died to Natasha in the last week". So if you want to do data analysis, that's where I would start.

If you want, I could help you walk through the setup process to get a local database of the data. I more or less just followed the readme instructions at https://github.com/crawl/sequell but if there are specific questions or your get stuck feel free to DM me. Once you have that, you can run a SQL client to do queries on the database and generate csvs of whatever raw data you want. Then process them accordingly and do any number of analytics.

Interesting, it looks like some metadata file gets shared across servers which is likely exactly what is getting pulled into (https://github.com/crawl/sequell).

Yeah, I'm not even doing direct SQL calls. It's through an api called sequell. Referece: https://github.com/crawl/sequell/blob/master/docs/listgame.md

It's not a complete list, as there's a whole day to tweak the rules still :). You can see all the changes on GitHub: the 0.30-tourney branch.

If you're planning on playing seriously, it's not a bad idea to sign up on all available servers so you can "reserve" your username so someone else can't inadvertently use the same one and pollute online statistics aggregators like crawl.akrasiac.org or dcss-stats.vercel.app

I'm in http://crawl.akrasiac.org/ . You might be right about trunk. I'm not sure because I usually don't look at the versions of the other active players.

This isn't directly a Crawl question, but I can't find a better place to ask: Why doesn't crawl.akrasiac.org support https?

'Trunk' is the currently developed branch. In this case trunk is what will become 0.27, but because it is being actively developed it is changing daily. I don't know where to download it for offline play but I personally play online at http://crawl.akrasiac.org/

The code is public but no guarantees that it's easy to run: https://github.com/crawl/dcss_tourney

So it looks like banishment is fine https://github.com/crawl/dcss_tourney/blob/e595ab84245eef2907f70614362298a80ba37272/query.py#L1417
