I lost a character in it; inability to stairdance was brutal to me.
I only ducked down to Slime:1 for the entry and came right back out
Well, I took one stab at Tomb and chickened out after barely escaping the T:2 ambush. I settled for 13 runes and a win. Hard to believe that I have ever got a 15 -runer these days - getting timid in my old age!

Got two in a row for the first time in a while - followed the tried and true TrFi with another strong combo, GnIE^Ash. I had hoped to finally get a three- streak (my best), but alas ā¦

I once spent over an hour real time in Tomb 3 battling shadow trap monsters (obviously the shadow traps version). Every time I killed one the shadow trap would go off again so the screen would always be full. I didnāt have any means of escape, and I was a GrMo of Makhleb, so I lasted a long time. DCSS chat was on IRC at the time and someone pinged me to tell me my ghost had been really tough to kill.
And thatās the closest Iāve ever come to the Tomb rune. Also died in my other attempts at Pan/Tomb and never bother trying now, itās unfun like the Abyss is unfun imo. Never even stepped into Hell. Maybe the promised rework will make these areas more appealing to me.

Huh I think I have gotten the golden rune once or twice, many versions ago with a character well suited to it. Never a Hell rune though.
OK, one last charge to at least get a rune!

And, I think that is it for my tourney. It was fun, but the game feels harder to me than it has for a while. Lost two MDSu runs at the end, both of which were winnable by someone better than me! Still love the game and all the new stuff the devs keep adding, but also think it requires better play overall.

I had a surprising amount of difficulty with rune branches - I only made it to the bottom of one, even in the Lair branches, and never got even close to an actual rune. I also ran into unexpected challenges trying to champion gods. It did feel like that part of the game is more difficult, or maybe itās changed a bit in ways that are harder for me because of my play style and (lack of) skill?
But it was fun to play in another tournament, and fun to help Tavern Snacks as best I could! Looking forward to the next one, although I think I need to put in more time in between tournaments so I can get more out of the runs where I have a shot at a rune.

Well i didnāt get a rune but did knock off a couple of banners for my collection.
I played poorly throughout but I agree that the game feels hard right now. Which is odd, because Iāve won three games over this trunk cycle, which is huge for me.Been playing rough for a while though. Dunno if Iāve failed to adapt to some change about 4-6 weeks ago.
Anyway, Crawl is still a good time and itās an especially good time Tavern Snacking in a tournament. Many thanks to all of you for joining in, and hopefully we shall convene for 0.35.

Finished 661st, so perhaps Iām improving? Was 668th last tournament. Anyway congrats to sanka and strat on their wins, and to all on their various achievements. Great playing with you all, and looking forward to 0.35!

Yes, thank you all for the Tavern Snacking again - the tourney is something I look forward to because of you all!

Thank you for letting me in the team.
As usual, I spent too much time to get Lord of Darkness banner 3, but the furthest I got is 1 rune, so no additional wins in this tournament from me. Apologies for the team, but maybe one day Iāll be good enough to get banners.
2 Thanks
You still got one more win than I did! And more banners.
Good job yall! I didnt have time for the tourney but its fun reading the thread and living vicariously through you
keep crawlinā & snackinā!
