I've switched to this mode myself (I was the suicide poster). You've
got to, in order to have any fun after having a total win. I have
two changes I'd like to see, though:
1) Kick dog. Makes dog run away from you for some amount of moves.
There's nothing I hate worse than walking down a dead end with
three dogs following, and then trying to get the mutts to move
out of the way so I can get out of the hall. As often as not,
I end up killing one or more of them in my frustration to get
out. Especially if I have tripe in my pack that I'd like
to save as a special reward for a particular good monster kill.
2) Some way to pick up stuff in the middle of a pile. I find it
a useless waste of time to have to unstack the neat piles
of stuff a ghost leaves in order to get at something in the
middle of the pile.
