Useless Death

I had a pretty good human fighter going in Angband. Just found Calris and had enchanted the hit up to +9. Then I went down into the dungeon. I felt sleepy and knew I needed to take a nap. But I was kicking butt in Angband.

Next thing I knew I fell asleep. When I woke up, my fighter was dead. What the heck happened? I had pressed the key to search for a door. Then I fell asleep. I guess my poor fighter kept searching.

Eventually the fighter got hungry, was not fed, and died due to starvation. Damn. Time to institute a new rule. If I ever had a good player and start to get tired, then it is time to end the game. Period.
