If i am in the process of having a shit, I dont need someone to ask me the question of "Am i sure i want to do this?".
Might not be the worst idea to have this, since by this analogy you're taking a shit in public

You mean
telnet -8 nethack.alt.org
And preferably set your terminal to reverse video and use a VGA/IBMgraphics or DECgraphics capable typeface in your terminal. I personally prefer IBMgraphics because corridors look right and proper.
No, pretty sure I meant what I said. Especially the -8 is rather pointless. Reverse video also is a stupid suggestion as you can't know what the normal video mode is, for others.

Actually, corridors look "right and proper" with the normal typeface, since that is nethack, this suggestion is also crap.
Playing locally basically implies cheating
No, it doesn't.
The temptation can be very high, especailly when you're close to YASD
vi? vi? Do you snap your suspenders and tug your beard as you pine for the days of pine over a 300 baud line?
Since I switch a lot between vi/nvi/vim, depending on what's available (protip: vim usually isn't), yeah, it makes sense to learn the common subset first, which is basically the functionality vi implements. Besides, pine?

Trying to be funny -- you're doing it wrong.
And they use the cursor keys...because they have a keyboard with actual cursor keys instead of a ADM3A terminal.
hjkl are much closer to the rest of the alphanumeric block, since they are, well, on the home row. It's fine if you like constantly switching between there and the cursor keys, or probably the mouse, just don't tell me how I should do things, especially when you're unable to give rationale.
You'd think that terminal makers never used a Selectric.
Uh, whatever.
I can't imagine anyone using the vi shortcuts (k for up and, going clockwise, u l n j b h and y).
Imagine harder then, I don't know anyone who'd play it on the numpad, sounds rather inconvenient because all the other keys are on the main alphanumeric block.
In fact, I originally started to play nethack in order to get comfortable with hjkl for later use in vi. Worked great. (As an unexpected side effect I got horribly addicted though)
If you want the really real deal though, you need a linux/unix machine, and you need to play the ncurses command line version in a terminal.

The era in which one group of people will be able to control the commercial activities of third parties is coming to a close. Deal with it.

Both top-posting and bottom-posting have advantages. Bottom-posting makes it somewhat easier to read it like a thread summary, but that's not always useful. Top-posting makes it easier to see what the last guy wrote.
