The 0.32 tournament is over. On behalf of the Dev Team, many thanks to all the server admins, outside contributors, bug reporters, and to the many DCSS players who made the 0.32 release and tournament possible! For 16 days, players could compete for tournament points and banners by playing 0.32 games on the public servers. The only major rule change compared to the 0.31 tournament is that the Ziggurat category scoring was capped at 5 completed zigs. Zigs completed past 5 are still displayed for bragging rights, of course!

Congratulations to Flugkiller for taking first place in the individual competition, with 114,782 points and 27 wins! Flugkiller won the most Nemelex Choice combos (19), got all tier 3 banners, one of only two players to do this, and took 1st in the Piety category. He also got the second-fastest real-time win, a MiFi won in 00:24:58, and won the second-highest scoring game, an AtCj with 74M points.

Other big winners:

  • TheMeInTeam: 2nd place overall with 97,543 points and 22 wins. TheMeInTeam tied for the longest win streak of the tournament with 10 wins, and was 2nd in Nemelex Choice combos (18 wins) and Piety categories. He was also 2nd in the Combo High Scores category, with species high scores for Coglin (CoWn) and Kobold (KoCa), the Hexslinger class high score (MDHs), and high scores for 8 combos in total.
