I've got a +6, +2 broad axe of Foo and a +3, +5 randart long sword of Bar.
How can I tell which one is better?

which one is better?

"Better" depends on a number of factors, such as your weapon skills, whether
it's one or two-handed, the randart properties, the weapon brand, and the
monsters you're about to face. In general, switching from a weapon type you
are already highly skilled with to another one that you have no skill in is
a waste of time. The brands may greatly differ in damage output but you can
get a good idea by bashing a few comparatively harmless monsters with each
and comparing the results. Of the enchantments, damage is usually more
important unless you hardly ever manage to hit with a weapon.

No, there isn't. On the plus side, once a ghost has been loaded onto a level,
it won't be loaded again - unless you happen to die on that level. Keep in
mind that you don't absolutely have to fight every monster you meet, and with
ghosts it's even easier: they cannot leave the level they were created on.

If you are in the Abyss for the first time, chances of getting out are slim.
Still, here are a few general hints:

If you are in the Abyss for the first time, chances of getting out are 
slim. Still, here are a few general hints:

* randart: a random artefact, usually a weapon or type of armour with random properties such as conferring resistances or abilities
* unrandart: an artefact that looks like a randart but is really predefined. There's no further difference except that players "in the know" can recognize such an item by its special description and/or colour.
* fixed art: an artefact that does not use the random artefact properties but instead has unique hardcoded effects and descriptions.

None of the three types can be enchanted or branded, neither temporarily nor permanently.

Oklob plants suck! Do you plan to remove them at last?

No. Oklob plants provide an interesting challenge. Resist to urge to kill
them at once. Also use your resources. A hint: they cannot see invisible.

No. We think that Oklob plants provide an interesting challenge.
Resist the urge to kill them at once. If you absolutely need to bypass them
use your resources wisely. A hint: They cannot see invisible.

Probably not. While your death might be an ill-placed vault (this would be
a bug), it is generally just really bad luck. We believe that a game is more
fun if the risk of death is real. This means that such instant deaths cannot
be fully avoided, as Crawl relies on randomness for posing challenges. It is
important to realise that for really good players, the margin of such deaths
is really slim...

No, you can't. All of the devteam members submitted a number of code-intensive
patches and/or took over responsibility over an important side project before
joining. Once you've become indispensible to the team and we start wondering
how we ever got along without you, we _may_ ask you to join you, but don't
hold your breath.
