Comboscores: Xom conduct for chaos knights

Starting a chaos knight and worshipping the unpredictable Xom is a special challenge.

Recently I saw several CK games on CXC server, Yermak being one of the players. Usually the players keep Xom - I think just because that's the main idea of a chaos knight.

One challenge is to get a chaos knight comboscore, e.g. Yermak got BaCK and HaCK highscores recently.

But: you can drop Xom as a CK and worship another god to get a CK comboscore quite easily (once you survived Xom's wrath). From a pure point of view, this seems to be some kind of cheating.

E.g. look at the actual "TrCK" highscore:

  Code:
 1166 | Temple   | Entered the Ecumenical Temple
 1197 | Temple   | Fell from the grace of Xom
 1197 | Temple   | Became a worshipper of Cheibriados the Contemplative

I doubt any TrCK will be able to beat 27 k turns when he sticks to Xom.

In tournaments, there is the following rule:

tournament rules wrote:A game is won using [...] Xom if the player never worships another god.

This does not necessarily mean that you start as CK. But imo this rule is a step into the right direction.


*******

Are there ideas to fix this problem? E.g., add an additional scoring page for "chaos knights of Xom", meaning they sticked to Xom all the time? Any other idea?
