The Tavern

Hello all, and welcome to the CSDC Season 2 Playoffs! Please use this thread for discussion of all things pertaining to the playoff round of Crawl Sudden Death Challenges Season 2.

The Season 2 playoffs will begin at 3pm EST on 7/12/14!

Playoff Combo: HOAr (Hill Orc Artificer)

Tier I Bonus: Enter Elf before Lair. (1 pt)
Tier II Bonus: Max any skill before entering Lair. (2 pts)
Tier III Bonus: Collect a non-Lair rune before reaching XL20. (3 pts)
Tier IV Bonus: Enter Zot before entering Lair or Vaults. (4 pts)
*Note: You only receive points for the highest tier of bonus completed (i.e., if you complete the Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III bonuses, you receive 3 pts.)

Participants:

Code:: Division 1 1. HilariousDeathArtist 2. Sphara 3. minmay 4. KarsaOrlong Division 2 1. Xen 2. guppfry 3. Category 4. stickyfingers Division 3 1. Strat 2. Midpoint 3. Caricature 4. WildSam Division 4 1. allbefore 2. XuaXua 3. Moanerette 4. SaintRoka

Playoff Format:

Code:: 1 Each division has a separate playoff round. The top 4 players from each division after Week 6 are eligible to compete in their divisional playoff. 2 The playoff round consists of a one-game challenge, scored using the same rules as the weekly challenges. 3 The playoff round race/class combo and bonuses will be announced at the end of Week 6. All playoff games have 2 weeks to be completed. 4 Players are seeded according to their total season score. Seeding determines the XL cutoff to be eligible for a redo: #1 seed: Can redo if their first attempt ends at XL7 or below. #2 seed: Can redo if their first attempt ends at XL5 or below. #3 seed: Can redo if their first attempt ends at XL3 or below. #4 seed: Can redo if their first attempt ends at XL1. Tiebreakers for seeding are (in order): # of completed Tier II bonuses, # of completed total bonuses, # of wins, season high score (in-game). 5 The highest-scoring player in the playoff round (using weekly scoring rules, not Crawl's in-game score) is the division winner. Tiebreakers for the playoff round are (in order): Highest bonus tier completed, least turns to collect a rune, # of uniques killed, in-game score.

CSDC Season 2 Results and Standings

Time for the inaugural round of CSDC Playoffs! Congrats to the top 4 in each division, and good luck!

A couple notes about the playoff round before we start:

1) Please read the playoff format before starting your game! I included the format in the post above. Make sure you understand the redo rules, scoring, and tiebreakers - please ask me questions in the thread or in IRC if you have any.
2) Although I placed 4th in Division 1, I don't think it's sporting of me to participate in the playoffs as the organizer. So I'm abstaining and KarsaOrlong (who finished 5th) will be taking the 4th seed in Division 1.

When I announce the combo tomorrow, then the playoff round will be open. Good luck everyone!

I'm going to fuck up and die trying to achieve a tier bonus greater than tier 1.

Also, I bet we get Draconians or Demonspawn.

Playoffs are open, the combo is HOAr!

The keyword if you want to track anything in ##crawl is 'playoff' (e.g., "!csdc playoff" to view which games are running).

10 minutes early, dude.

Aaaaaand, fail.

I can thank the 3 level deep random shafting right into the vault entrance waiting party of Norris and Rupert, summoning my super-weak orcs, having rF++++ and calling immolation, then being unable to make my way back and Beogh wrath when a hydra happened to be wandering nearby. Early hand axe of distortion; not my favorite thing, but I was planning to unwield post-penance to get that non-lair rune.

And that's it for me. Just a game, but disappointing nonetheless. I played a practice game that was going quite well under my other account (went Trog and axes for the tier 2, got to Depths without lair at least), then switched to this one. Sign of the bad player -- too much emphasis on getting Trog: no temple until D:7, then no Trog in temple. Finally went with Nem, then stupidity and a two-headed ogre (yes, that's HOW stupid ...) ended my tournament career with 1 point. Good luck to the rest of Division 3, and thanks again to WalkerBoh for a lot of fun in the tournament. As I said in earlier posts on the tourney, this kind of thing keeps me playing Crawl regularly -- otherwise my lack of skill just gets frustrating without an external goal.

In the spirit of the Crawl Sudden Death Challenges I present my awful death.

Immediately after reaching XL:7, I descended to D:5 to notice Grinder, and of course decided to try another staircase. This time I was met with the elven twins Dowan and Duvessa, along with the third staircase. Dowan hasted Duvessa, so I used my wand of enslavement to take her under my control. I decide to take a couple of shots at Dowan with my wand of flame, and in my zeal for blood I didn't notice Duvessa line up directly behind Dowan. Dowan nimbly dodged the puff of flame, and it smacked Duvessa in the face, breaking her out of her enslavement, and greatly angering Oka!

Code:: The puff of flame misses Dowan! The puff of flame hits Duvessa! Duvessa is no longer charmed! You feel very guilty! "You will pay for your transgression, mortal!!!"

I'm able to enslave Dowan, and Duvessa ends up killing him. I back off to D:4 and Oka sends in a cyclops, merfolk javelineer, and two merfolks to enact his vengance. Luckily I am able to teleport to safety while using the plain merfolk to block the ranged attacks. I head back to D:5 and enslave Duvessa and tell her to get lost. I then identify the ring of teleportation in my inventory by wearing it, and removed the curse, but forget to take it off. A few turns later I am teleported next to Blork and Ijyb. Another random teleport from the ring decides to bring me to a safe spot, and I am able to make it to the downstairs and begin resting. Grinder comes into view, and I immediately head downstairs, but not before being paralyzed and taking 15 damage.

Upon descending to D:6, I am surrounded by wights with branded halberds and battleaxes. I use the ring of teleportation to get out of this situation, and end up getting into worse. A wyvern, ogre, and DsGl ghost all found me, along with plenty of weaker enemies. I teleported around a few times before I was able to escape the crowd and find myself near the entrance to the Sewers on this level.

While resting in the hallway outside the Sewer, Oka surrounds me with merfolk, including a merfolk impaler. In addition I was left confused by the divine experience, and I had just used my only curing potion. I put on my ring of teleportation and begin quaffing unidentified potions, only for the first to be the potion of cancellation, which removed my confusion. I attempted to read my only teleportation scroll but ended up dying to the impaler.

Second tournament playoffs death by divine retribution. :-)

While I wouldn't call that a "sudden" death, I'd say that more or less embodies the spirit of CSDC. :lol:

4 Players are seeded according to their total season score. Seeding determines the XL cutoff to be eligible for a redo:
#1 seed: Can redo if their first attempt ends at XL7 or below

HDA: Just to make sure, you are aware of this?

Good catch, Sphara. The scoresheet has been updated as well, so you can see who has finished games so far. One win courtesy of Xen.

I originally misread this as "below XL:7", but did re-read this as I was writing up my post-mortem. I feel a little bad about getting the mulligan but I don't recall using one during the rest of the tournament. I'll give it another go soon.

Was realy nice going, but then get overconfident to fight group of orc warriors and an orge. -_-

This was my first CSDC, Im glad I make it to playoffs tho my ovarall weeks score was not so good.
Realy like sudden death challenge, I will continue to participate.

Edit: wanted to go with Mekhleb, but couldnt find his altar.

I'm currently unable to play, as I'm without home internet for I've no idea how long (this is why I didn't finish my HuHu); waterworks appear to have killed the wireless. The odd snatched hour in the library does for most purposes, but not playing Crawl. I assume the time allowed is the usual two weeks; with any luck I'll be back before then, but if not then best of luck to all and sorry I can't participate.

(Actually, if WalkerBoh thinks it's a good idea I'm quite happy for my place to go to the next highest placed competitor. I'm not optimistic about being able to play this).

Spoiler: show

@HilariousDeathArtist: Learuk, Bolgrim, and Bogwald like that.

Crap! I should have done V5 with my +9 vampiric executioner's axe! The slaughter would have been legendary.

Morgue

Code:: 12552 HilariousDeathArtist the Nimble (level 11, -7/92 (95) HPs) Began as a Hill Orc Artificer on July 14, 2014. Was a High Priest of Beogh (penitent). Smitten by Beogh (33 damage) ... on Level 1 of the Lair of Beasts on July 15, 2014. The game lasted 02:12:10 (20569 turns).

Zapped a wand of slowing while confused by Erica, and targeted my orc warrior. He resisted but went hostile and Beogh gave me penance. I would have liked a yesnoquit here, but what can you do.

First Beogh retribution killed me instantly as I had just taken damage from fighting a komodo dragon and was retreating.

I had just went through Orc and entered Elf right before this. I had 90 orc followers upon leaving the Mines.

I think that leaves me with 4 points. I think this one qualifies as my sudden death.

Well, this game was... frustrating, and truly lived up to its name!

I found an early altar of Fedhas and went with her. A wight on d:7 with an unidentified war axe of distortion sent me to the abyss on its first hit. I found an altar to Lugonu and, being at XL9, decided to risk Fedhas's wrath for a ticket out of nearly certain death. Not long after, Fedhas surrounded me with 3 oklobs and 2 shrooms. :shock:

Having no ?blink or Lugonu's blink-equivalent yet, I read ?tele and started trying to convert the shrooms with my /enslavement, but it wasn't nearly enough to survive the firing squad.

Good luck to everyone else in my division, and three cheers to WalkerBoh for organizing!

Looks like everything is clear in division 2. Congratulations Xen, and thanks WalkerBoh for running this competition again. I'm looking forward for the next season.

Done.

I really tried to like Beogh... But this was probably the last time I played with him.
I'm pretty sure Sphara is going to beat that. But I guess that's only fair since I slipped into the playoffs as a replacement.

All in all I liked this CSDC season better than the first one. The scoring system was better and the bonuses were a lot more interesting than the first time. Thanks WalkerBoh for organizing.

Congrats Xen and gg everybody! Thanks again for organizing, very fun.

Thanks everyone for playing! And congratulations to our four division champions:

Division 1 - Sphara
Division 2 - Xen
Division 3 - Caricature
Division 4 - XuaXua

I think overall Season 2 went much better than Season 1, and I have a few ideas for improvements for Season 3. I'm planning on making some changes to the rules and format and then I'll put up a new signup/rules thread in 3-4 weeks. As always, please let me know if you have any feedback regarding this season, or changes you'd like to see for the next!

I believe minmay, WildSam and Moanerette have 15 hours left to finish their playoff-game by the time I'm writing this.

At least that's what the scoring page tells me..

Wow, well done. Congratulations to the winners!
