Online Play
A few servers support online play through an ssh client, the best known of which are crawl.akrasiac.org and crawl.develz.org. Recently, an online tiles version (called WebTiles) with basic features has become available at tiles.crawl.develz.org.
Features of online play include automated high-score tracking and real-time recording of online play for later viewing. Also, ghosts of other players' characters are frequently encountered on a player's journey, providing an additional challenge. An annual tournament for all Stone Soup players is held every August on the servers.

Famous quotes containing the word play:
“The indispensable ingredient of any game worth its salt is that the children themselves play it and, if not its sole authors, share in its creation. Watching TV’s ersatz battles is not the same thing at all. Children act out their emotions, they don’t talk them out and they don’t watch them out. Their imagination and their muscles need each other.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
