Other variants have level feelings that are updated when a player spends more time on a level. Examples would anything from 'Wish engine' and 'Gremlin bomb' through to 'ID-stair-scumming'(going just up and down and clearing the same room) and even. This will sometimes be just as effective as abuse and even cheating, but differs in that it is the result of imbalance in game mechanics. But this is not considered to be effective, as a hundred turns is too short. Scumming: Using game mechanics to gain advantages. Normal Angband only shows a level feeling if a player has spend at least 100 turns on a previous level. Some 'band variants have implemented different methods to prevent "level scumming". This is a issue in roguelikes with level feelings and non persistent levels. In Angband the level feeling can be abused by the process called "level scumming", in which a player moves up and down stairs until the level feeling shows a desirable notification. There are also some problems to consider with level feelings. Some roguelikes have features related to "level feelings", such as the sound effects that are generated by vaults and shops in nethack. Roguelikes could either provide the level feeling when entering a new level, or during a level when a character had time to study the level. Even Nethack and SLASH'EM have status messages when certain levels are entered. The different 'band versions provide hints about the monsters and treasure in the level. In DoomRL for example this feature can be a great help, feelings provide warning for dangerous levers (traps), and tell you if there are stairs to special levels.
This provides the player with information about what to expect on this level. When the player first enters a level, he gets a "level feeling" notification such as "what a boring place" or "you feel this is a superbe level" - depending on the amount of treasure and out of depth monsters on that level. Level feelings are a feature of Angband, ADOM, DoomRL and others.
