YAVP: 5 wins in 1 day!
I got up at 5 AM (after working a lot on Friday and Saturday to clear my Sunday schedule) and won the first game with little problems in 2:19. I sadly died right after that to a D:1 gnoll, but won 4 more MiFis consecutively afterwards. The would-have-been 6th win then died to some dumb mistakes involving too much speed, a lich and a Green Death right before getting the runes for Zot, so I didn't quite reach my goal but hey, 5 is a record and enough for now.
Weapons used, in case anyone is interested:
#1 vampiric demon blade
#2 anti-magic triple sword
#3 anti-magic bardiche
#4 demon whip of flaming
#5 demon trident of electrocution
I mainly used the plate/EV strategy for defence, and on 3 I also used a shield (#6 who failed didn't use one but didn't die to anything that could have been blocked...). I think plate/EV is really great with Mi's apts if you always raise dex - 40/30 AC/EV is totally achievable even in a threeruner. On one I didn't find any good plate, but a GDH, so I enchanted that and had +12 GDA by the end of the game. On another, the same, but I went for FDA instead. This was the demon whip one (and probably the weakest of the lot).
I used Heroism in basically every significant fight to increase my tabbing prowess but never ran into piety problems - Okawaru is really great. I'd also advise getting Invo 7-8 because it was a lot more helpful than I thought it would be, especially considering that you don't even have the MP for Heroism/Finesse by the time you have them available if you don't train Invo. Once I didn't have Okawaru in the temple so I just went Trog to mix it up.

Fun facts:
-I used to have a ton of 2-win streaks (6 or so), now my streak looks like this:
-The turncounts of game #4 and #5 were exactly the same!
-No coffee involved this time despite being up at 5 AM!
-I beat my own former Minotaur speed (3:02 but with 15 runes) record 5 times over!
- best title
-total time of crawling today: 11 hours, 48 minutes (give me a break now )
-I killed Mennas 4 times!
Next goal: fastest win ever! I need to win in 1:11:51 which shouldn't be too hard with SpEn... I died at 1:00 once with the orb in my hands to a very preventable mistake.
