Exploitative strategies

I just found a strategy that I've never thought of before that feels almost like cheating:
Using polymorph wands on worms to get OOD monsters worth a ton of exp. Because I'm a Gargoyle Wizard, I've been able to meph cloud to death a big kobold, raven, brain worm, and fire drake on D2 and am already level 7.
Has anyone else had that "ah ha!" moment?

Until it was patched, telling summons to move to the map border would cause a crash. Crashing crawl rewinds time to the last save/level change. The presence of one sentient ally was sufficient for god mode.

I've tried this before. I usually end up just making things worse and having to dive a floor.
I don't know if this counts as 'exploitative' but (only) learning OoD + Spellforged Servitor + Haste makes for some absolute insanity.
