    How about winning in the most turns (then I would have a chance too...)

      it doesnt matter as far as the comp goes, just looks funny seeing all the dwarven warriors and then a elven mage way at the bottom. you can do what you want to fix it or ignore it.

        Or maybe winning in a target number of turns.

        Though I like the idea of seeing who can kill the most uniques or find the most artifacts, not sure if these are tracked in dumps.

          Lowest turncount per unique killed? That would be a challenge for pav

            Yes, I iike the 'most-artifact' condition. That could produce some quite interesting (and stacked!) characters, out there farming for Bladeturner or the One Ring. Additionally, the decision of 'when to retire' versus risking an unfortunate pre-WINNER death would be a dilemma most players do not usually face.

            I do not know if [V] tracks artifact finds, but I think maybe it now does? It should!

              It does in the character history list; but it's not displayed in character dumps.

                Current practice is to judge on something that can be measured from the dump - having examined a 3.1.0 dump, I think this takes us back to exp/turn.

                  This probably won't be popular, but you could do a real-time race to the finish: first person to win from the time the contest starts gets the gold. Differing time zones and whatnot complicates this, obviously. Maybe you could have it start at 9AM on Sunday for each player's individual timezone. Folks would have to use the honor system...

                    I like the idea, but it's the opposite of a completist task.

                    As another possible win condition, how about most experience?

                      Yeah, possible, although less exciting. Maybe "first to kill Morgoth and find the One Ring or Bladeturner"? If not satisfied, kill Morgoth and most experience, and if no Morgoth kills are scored, most experience.

                        Comp 62 has now officially finished. Congrats to Eddie Grove, and to Dean Chung for getting a game win.

                        Ladder is here.
