[net.games.rogue] Dropping the Amulet

jjm (01/11/83)

	Indeed, when you drop the Amulet it is not noted... sort of.

	When you drop the Amulet and walk away from the spot you were
	standing, it appears to be where you were; there is another
	"copy" of the Amulet in your possession.

	As I remember, you may pick up the Amulet again.  You get the
	message that you found the Amulet of Yendor, but you still
	have only one copy of it in your possession.

	There is no way to "lose" the Amulet once you find it, and
	no way to get another one.

It is true in version 3.7 that you can drop the amulet and still
return to the top as if you had it in your pack.

I had one experience where I tried to drop the amulet (to make room
for another item I wanted to pick up) but it was always in my pack.
I filled a room with dropped amulets, but still had one in my pack!

After all, it is a magical amulet.  You would expect it
to have a few strange properties, wouldn't you?

	Now I am more confused than ever !  Ken Arnold sent me mail
saying that this could happen in 3.7 (dropping the amulet and still
winning) but was fixed in later versions.  People here who have 3.7
source say that it is impossible to drop the amulet.  What is the
real story ?  Guess I'll just have to wait until I am winning again.

	Also, has anyone ever gotten 2 amulets at one time ?  I am
90 percent sure I did this once, when I totally won on 3.7 and went
down to level 65.  Another one might have appeared at level 50 or 52
or so.  I remember this because someone was looking over my shoulder
as I was coming up (at level 7 or 8) and I foolishly let a Nymph get
a shot at me.  He said "You're lucky she didn't hit you and steal
the amulet", and I said "No problem, I've got TWO of them !".

      If it's true that you can fill the whole room with amulets, then
just before you leave the dungeon, you can fill your whole pack with amulets
and then leave!!!!!!!!

	It is possible to get two amulets. Although I haven't played
in a while, in a game a while I did find an Amulet on level 25 or so,
and another one on level 85. I got dowm to level 100 and decided to turn
back. When I did get back and win, the game did list 2 Amulets in the
list of points.
