Tony (disambiguation)

Tony might refer to the following game concepts:

• Tony Davis, an optional boss in the Wal-Mart sub-dungeon. For the mirror-universe version of Tony Davis, see Dony Tavis.
• Tony, an Affliction the player character can contract by consuming Tony's Open Diet Coke. Note: The community often refers to the Tony's Open Diet Coke consumable as simply "Tony", which can be a source of confusion for new players. The generally-accepted community term for Tony the affliction is the stolen-Coke blues, or sometimes simply "the Coke".
• A common name for a creature in the Aching Wallop faction (all Aching Wallop adherents have a 7.6% chance to be generated with the name "Tony", compared to a 3.8% chance for any other name). For a full list of potential names for Aching Wallop adherents, see the quest page for Wait patiently in line at the pharmacy until your number is called (post-Ragnarok).

Tony's Open Diet Coke (unique consumable)

Tony's Open Diet Coke is a unique consumable that adds the Tony Affliction effect for six out-of-game years when consumed. Tony has the following effects on the player character:

• All Water in inventory is converted to Reverse Water. Any Water the player character picks up when Tony has a 55% chance to be converted to Reverse Water. Tip: Any Water that is converted in this way remains Reverse Water even after the player removes the Tony status effect. This is a good opportunity in the mid-game to build stocks of Reverse Water for use with Competitive Warehouse Archery in the Dark (or CWAD), which offers an early opportunity to get the permanent buff Lived through Competitive Warehouse Archery in the Dark, simplifying the mid-game quest Help convince the guy who played Magnum P.I. to stop doing reverse-mortgage commercials.
• If the player character's name is four characters or less, the player character's name is temporarily set to Tony!. Else, the player character's name is permanently set to Antonio!. Note: If the player character's name is set to Tony!, the name will revert to the name you chose during player creation after you complete the quest Apologize to Tony and prepare for combat. Interestingly, the Name Game skill still uses the character's original name, even after being afflicted with Tony. If the player character's name is set to Antonio!, the only known way to change it back is by wielding Phone Book, activating it, and when it catches fire, renaming the flaming Phone Book to the player's preferred name before the Phone Book burns to ashes. It's unknown whether this is a bug or intended behavior.
• Occupation is set to Wal-Mart.
• Player calling is set to Wal-Mart. Warning: Changing Player calling impacts any skills and attributes affected by callings, such as Hobbies, Jungian archetype, and Breadsense. This might be a desirable effect: for example, if Jungian archetype is set to Round or Rounder. However, if your archetype adds positive effects, consider postponing consuming Tony's Open Diet Coke until after the quest Brian Eno is here to fix your vibe, or in the late-game after the player character learns Degreelessness.
• 1998 Nissan Elantra is generated in the dungeon. For other ways of generating 98NE, see the quest page for A journey to the inside of King Crimson's album In the Court of the Crimson King: An Observation by King Crimson (1968).

Finding and consuming Tony's Open Diet Coke

The Wal-Mart sub-dungeon has a 48% chance to generate a 6 x 6 sub-room (known in the community as "the break room", despite there being no in-game reference to support this). If Wal-Mart generates with a break room, there is a 100% chance Tony's Open Diet Coke is generated either under the microwave or in the Shrieking Icebox.

If the player character [L]ooks at Tony's Open Diet Coke, the following message is displayed:

That's Tony's Diet Coke. Looks like he only drank half of it and left the rest of it here. I don't think I've ever seen that fuckin' guy finish a Diet Coke.

When picked up, the player sees the following message:

I don't think that's your Diet Coke. Are you sure you want to take it? (y/n)

If the player chooses y, the following message is displayed:

Your fuckin' funeral, dude! Tony sets the schedule and if I were you, I would want my weekends off!

When consumed, the player sees the following two messages in sequence (separated by a [More, please!] prompt:

Uh-oh! You really fucked up this time! If Tony figures out you drank his Diet Coke, he's gonna be super-pissed at you!!

and then

You feel like [[Tony! | Antonio!]].

Note: Despite the implication of the messages, Tony always spawns aggressive to the player character, regardless of whether the player character holds Tony's Open Diet Coke in their inventory or has consumed it.

Amulet of Yendor (artifact)

"Yendor" is "Rodney" spelled backwards. There are two prominent fan theories about this:

• "Yendor" is "Rodney" spelled backwards. This is the most commonly-accepted theory.
  • The theory was seemingly confirmed on Twitter by prominent community member @CarlSharks, who posted a picture of the word "Yendor" written on a piece of paper. Then, using a deprecated version of iMovie to reverse the image (reversing images for public exhibition was outlawed in the United States in 2003, but some forks of older software still retain these features), revealed an image of the word "Yendor" upside-down.
• "Yendor" isn't "Rodney" spelled backwards. Proponents of the theory say that "Rodney" is a meaningless collection of phonemes. Therefore, "Rodney" is "Yendor" backwards, not the other way around.
