We had more than 700 players this year &#8212; edging up on NetHack tournament territory!<\/p>\n<p>Our first place prize, a custom-skinned 9&#8243; Asus eee netbook, goes to 78291, who scored over 4000 individual points in our <a href=\"http:\/\/crawl.akrasiac.org\/tourney09\/index.html\">tournament scoring system<\/a>. 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.\u00a0 Basically what we&#8217;re saying here is: Stabwound, watch out.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->78291 hardly took all of the prizes, though. For one thing, 78291&#8217;s team, cabal, came in second place to team FirstName, with five of its six players in the top ten for the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>rob managed a 16029-turn win with a DDBe on the second to last day of the tournament, edging out elliptic&#8217;s 19043-turn DDCK win.<\/p>\n<p>mikee took the first all-rune win, fifteen hours into the tournament, with another DDCK.<\/p>\n<p>elliptic had an eight-game streak: DSBe, MiFi, DDNe, MfCr, HOPr, HEAE, SpEn, MDAr.<\/p>\n<p>Only one player, trucutru, managed to leave a Ziggurat on Z:27 all month &#8211; so clearly we need to reward that more next year. :)<\/p>\n<p>Ealbright took the most race\/class combo high scores with 23, in a very tight race that went right down to the wire. The Bay12Dwarfs team got the most as a team, at 63.<\/p>\n<p>No one got an XL:1 character to D:27 this year; dpeg came the closest at D:23.<\/p>\n<p>What about all those special achievements? Well, the hardest to get was &#8220;Xom Prefers A Heretic,&#8221; which required mollifying every god over the course of the month. I say hardest not just because it was hard, but because due to a bug where Nemelex could not be mollified, it was impossible. :) Both 78291 and Heteroy would have done it if it weren&#8217;t for the bug, though, so they get full credit.<\/p>\n<p>Four players succeeded in getting the &#8220;Free Will&#8221; award, starting with an elementalist and mastering the opposite elemental skill. Those players were 78291, heteroy, jenius, and trucutru.<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen players managed to kill Sigmund 27 or more times during the month: chog, eabright, grimm, heteroy, jenius, johan, jokeserver, kilobyte, maddasher, mafalda, nmf, phyphor, sorbius, stormfox, tgw, vizr, zenzei, ziropiro. They were awarded &#8220;The Scythe.&#8221; Sigmund himself had 1140 kills.<\/p>\n<p>Surprising me, only eight players achieved &#8220;The Pantheon,&#8221; selecting every god not as a starting god during the tournament: 78291, dartanion, eli, heteroy, keolah, mikee, sorbius, and stossel.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">Note: Repost of rax&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.de\/group\/rec.games.roguelike.misc\/browse_thread\/thread\/52951aa575a142a7\/fae14b34f99eac33\">posting<\/a> to r.g.r.m.
