The DCSS tournaments are very nicely done and I enjoyed my first one — I even scored my second Crawl win for it (and it even happened to be a combo high score!)

It seems the webtiles version has finally started attracting even experienced players :-)

Even though I didn`t win the game at the tourney, I think it`s just as hard as it should be. If it was easier, it doesn`t had so much fun to play. If you want it easy, play MiBe of Trog ;)
You should eventually give more time to the beginners (like four weeks for the overall tourney time instead of two; not everybody has the time to non-stop play to fill all the tourney time; some people are busy and can play only on weekends).

I don’t know if this is possible, but I’d love some more tourneys in the near future! They’re pretty much the only times I play; bragging rights are a great motivator :P

The game is only easy if you play well-rested, slowly, cautiously, and carefully, with a clear mind and lots of mental stamina, experience and knowledge.

For 98.72% of all players, Crawl is a game that can’t be won, and the statistics bear that out, although tournaments attract the strongest players, so probably more like 99.9% of all players can’t win at Crawl.

I think it’s about right though and you know what? I don’t mind dying. Except in tournaments. I wanted to win in the tournament.

At the current rate of Crawl development, we should be at version .1011 by 3011, so don’t worry about the game being that easy in your life time.

The game should be more difficult.

Thanx for the tournament – it was great (even though I haven`t won the game)!
Thank you. I`m waiting for the next one (0.12).

The 1.18% win rate is some consolation to my toasted 20 XL Spriggan Assassin. beware the fire crab!

I could play this game for the next 20 years and still not win a game :S

dpeg: please don’t make crawl that easy. It’s no fun to have a game everyone can win 4/5 times.

Though I didn’t win, I’m waiting for the next one!

Many thanks for organising this, it’s always a great event!

If win rates keep getting better like this, expect >80% wins already in the 0.1011 tournament :)
