Description-en: exchange Nethack bones files with other players
Nethack sometimes saves the level on which you die (including your
stuff, what killed you, and your ghost) in a "bones file". These files
get loaded into later Nethack games. If you're the only Nethack player
on your system you'll only get bones files you created yourself.
.
With Hearse, you can automatically exchange bones files with other
Nethack players. When run it uploads any new bones files it finds
on your system, then downloads any bones files the server feels like
giving it. See http://www.argon.org/~roderick/hearse/ for more
information.
.
An important thing to note is that by default using Hearse will cause
you to end up with more bones than you otherwise would have. This
changes the game's balance and is considered by many players to be a
mild form of cheating. You can address this by turning on the
--delete-uploaded option, but the down side is you'll never encounter
your own bones files.
