YAVP: koar; 21st consecutive win

Well, it has consumed a lot of time and mental energy, but I now have the longest streak online.

I suppose I should write a little story about this character. I was a little worried about how fragile a kobold artificer would be early on, but it was about the most decent choice I had left. I found snakebite on d:4, and shortly after I found trog, which made this character really promising. There was one risk of losing the streak when I went downstairs to d:8 and found myself facing an awake Erolcha. With my low mhp, she could have oneshot me with like any of her spellsets, so i used blinking to go around a corner and went downstairs. d:9 had a lair entry vault called 'erik lair island', which has a moat full of eels around lair with a troll or snorg nearby. Mine had snorg on d:9, which I found ridiculous, so I escaped and went to d:10. I cleared most of d:10 but had some trouble with a merfolk from a vault that had picked up a great mace. And that was pretty much the last time I was at low hp in this game.

I got around snorg into lair, where I found devastator at some point. By the time I did vaults I had 20/40/20 defenses and was just blowing everything up with devastator. Zot was a little harder than usual because I was using a quick blade with very little might available, but I pulled through by being patient. Link below:

Something for the books. Got no words for this achievement.
Maybe you should write a wiki guide for "How to make a 21 win streak"
Congratulations!

That's quite the feat. Very impressive. Grats!

PS: Anyone know how to distill Mikee into a borg?

Re: YAVP: koar; 21st consecutive win

How do streaks work?

I'm assuming you can't just play 50 TrBe's in a row and get a 50 streak, so do you have to differentiate Race and Profession, or just race?

Could one Streak a TrBe TrFi TrIe TrNe, etc ... what are the criteria?

Re: YAVP: koar; 21st consecutive win

Well, one can streak anything (for example, Elynae has a memorable {MiFi, MiFi, MiFi, MiFi} streak); however, the coolest players set up other criteria for their streaks. The standard "rule" is no repeating race/class (although Elliptic did an 11-game mummy streak one time); however, other restrictions can be used. It's really up to the player.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
