Still, this player kinda cheated in my opinion, by taking a bunch of sacrifices that don't matter, even if they are major. I dare say that even if he abandoned Ru after all those sacrifices and picked chei, he would still have no problem to win the game, because he still would be able cast statue form/cblink/ddor.
Any skilled player can win felid with statue/dragon form (of course, w/o ranged spells and spiders/beasts), including me and you.
But see, you've said "by taking a bunch of sacrifices that don't matter, even if they are major.", but no, it DOES matter, indeed a lot, provided that they're combined altogether.
Prohibited emergency potion/scrolls, prohibited evocables, reduced ring slot, NO stealth, reduced resistances, reduced attributes, reduced AC/EV,
reduced LV, reduced aptitude, GREATLY reduced spell power/slaying/accuracy of melee attacks or Iron shots,
these SYNERGIES all together to make colossal difference than normal statue form game.
And Controlled Blink is not controlled in Zot:1~5.
