Credit Card

[Brian]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack (More info?)

I've just started playing this game again after about five years and have
noticed some changes in this newer version. The one question I have right
now, is there still the option to wish for the blessed platinum Yendorian
Express Card? Thanks for any replies.

If you had a car with a windshield and sleet fell onto the windshield,
you could scrape the ice off.
But, since automobiles don't exist in Nethack, you could always PICK
another activity.

No - now Yendorian Express send you a thousand application forms (via the
mail daemon) and you fill one in

Jesting aside, I believe so

Yes, but it will evade you if you're not neutral (and of course you
can't wish for your own quest artifact).

And if you get it, it will function as an *uncursed* Platinum Yendorian
Express Card, unless you're playing a tourist, in which case you *will*
get the blessed effects.

Oh my god. I know about the PYEC for years and years, and I still
hadn't figured out this pun until you opened my eyes. I'll have
to lay down until the pain lessens.

Best,
