[net.games.rogue] Two Haste-self potions

This worked in 3.6.  My experience in 5.2 is that it doesn't - you just faint
from exaustion (sp?) for a little while.

      I just tried it last night on 3.6, and it did NOT work.  I fainted from
exhaustion, and then was entirely normal!  I wasn't under the influence of
the potions.  I tried walking up to an X and nearly got killed, since I thought
that I could use the usual procedure.  Is there some special way to get
permanently hasted (hastened??)????

It is just as well that two haste-selfs does not work anymore.
After all, once you are permanently hasted, you are pretty sure of
total winner unless you run into some really bad luck luck stuck
between two Umber Hulks or whatever.  In that case pull out your teleport
of which you should have one or two since you don't need them otherwise
and you'll make it through.  I can see why ken took it out, it is much
to gross when you know about it.
