[net.games] On being a tourist in hack.

Well, I tried hack (after seeing such a fury of interest in this newsgroup)
and was immediately assaulted with that "what are you" question.  I said
to myself -- "Aha! This is like Startrek!  Since I am a beginner, I had
better select the first on the list -- Tourist.  Someday I may be good
enough to play as Wizard!".  So there I was wandering around with a camera,
some darts, food, and Fido feeling like an Idiot!

At any rate, the best bet as a tourist is to grab all the goodies and head for
the exit!  There should be separate scorefiles for each type of player.

On this machine the first place in the scorefile is occupied by
my little brother, as a Tourist:

Number Points  Name                                                    Hp [max]
  1 204112     dirk-T escaped the dungeon [max level 27].              99 [99]

So, it is not impossible to get past level 3 when you are a tourist.
