The following text was sliced out of the article:

• Cheating: misusing certain options in the game to correct mistakes. Most commonly used is savefile cheating, in which a spare copy of a saved games is kept to restore the player's character and prevent permanent death. While not forbidden, this is frowned upon for all but the least experienced players.

The normal term for savefile manipulation is "Save Scumming" or "savefile scumming". The term scumming is used in various contexts, such as "town scumming"; "level scumming", "scumming for feelings", "autoscumming" (all synonyms really); and other various activities. Some people do use the term Cheating in an accusative way, but there's no consensus on what is cheating, or any special angband-meaning to the term. Anyone wants to flesh out the various forms of "scumming" feel free to insert that back in. A section on permanent death might be good too, although I think that belongs in a general article about roguelikes with a link from here. JoshuaRodman 08:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

There already is an article about permanent death. I changed the text to include a link to it. --Sbluen 02:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

The entry for Quylthulg has been removed and replaced with a redirect to Moria. The links here should be removed or the entry reinstated; I don't know the right policy here so I won't do either. In either case the redirect for Qlzqqlzuup needs fixing or removing, since he's no longer mentioned. 67.171.33.28 23:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
