But I'm also not very good at it. ***Possible SPOILER ahead !!!*** I've encountered the wizard once in nethack (or maybe it was slashem). He zapped a wand of death at me. I didn't have reflection. The wand missed. I killed the wizard, but I been told he'd rise again and come after me. I saved and haven't dared to continue the game. That was about four years ago. I don’t cheat at nethack. But I’m also not very good at it.

The end result was that for each time I cheated I got an angry ghost of me in the game. :) Way back I did this kind of cheap on Omega.

Explore mode allows you to never die, and Wizard mode gives you free wishes! But… there’s already a way to cheat… Explore mode allows you to never die, and Wizard mode gives you free wishes!

The latest Linux version available is 2.5.0. After they released that, the Linux client was abandoned. The latest Windows client available is 2.8.0 — making you three versions out of date. All the cheaters and modders tend to hang out on the older versions, presumably because they don't get caught as easily because the masses hang out on the latest version. I had the same experience when I was playing 2.3.0, and they released 2.4.0. I was wondering why all the friendly players had gone, and it was only after being severely pwned that I realised that I was just playing with cheating scum. So, after America's Army discontinued their Linux client, I stopped playing simply out of protest. I'm a Linux user — if they cut their Linux client, they lose me as a player. Nowadays, I play Urban Terror, which works beautifully on Linux. Well, if you’re playing the Linux version of America’s Army, it’s no wonder you’re being pwned.
