I never knew Crawl had a DS port: information and download. There’s even a Wii port for Stonesoup! (Yes, really!)

First of all, thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Crawl Tournament, and special thanks to greensnark, Onia, and eredien for all of their help with tournament logistics and prizes. We had more than 700 players this year — edging up on NetHack tournament territory!
Our first place prize, a custom-skinned 9″ Asus eee netbook, goes to 78291, who scored over 4000 individual points in our tournament scoring system. Close behind him was mikee, with 3879; until an unfortunate drowning death near the end of the month, it was pretty much neck and neck. 78291 also scored the fastest real-time win (2:21:28), the top score (a 50K turn all-runer DDCK), the first victory of the tournament (a sub 3-hour SpCK of Lugonu), a decaying rune fetched at XL 8, the two wins with the fewest kills, and a streak of seven consecutive wins. Basically what we’re saying here is: Stabwound, watch out.

Out of a whim we started a poll on the IRC channel ##crawl. Lots of players already replied and it would be nice to have input from other channels as well. 12 questions, please send replies to crawlpoll@gmail.com. Evaluation will be anonymous and statistics will be posted here.
Thank you!

Like last year, the annual Stonesoup tournament will take place between August, 1 and 31. See here for a discussion on the scoring, and this page for last year’s tournament description. We are planning to release 0.5.1 before the beginning of the tournament so you’ll be able to play with a number of bugs fixed.
In other news, the DOS version has long been available for download from the Sourceforge site. And for Mac users facing problems when installing 0.5 we’ve added some documentation to hopefully help with that.
