Praise for killing people

As an amateur developer, you're constantly on the look out for feedback. Which is why reading comments like this is so satisfying:

Unangband seems unique in that it's the one *band that whenever I die, I consistently think to myself, "now I know not to do that again." It seems that I rarely die to difficult or unique monsters; it's always due to some other (seemingly insignificant) reason. Maybe that's the thing that has kept me hooked on Un for so long over other variants - every time I die, I learn something new. It seems like a lot of the dangers from vanilla (eg. paralyzation, big poison breaths, etc.) aren't nearly so bad in Un (or maybe I've just never gotten deep enough yet). I like it.

Thanks Big Al.

Good to know that is something to learn from death in un.

I'm sick and tired of dying in other roguelikes just to try all over again.
