Comp 164

Just tried to upload my final dump for Bilbo and got the 'character with higher xp already found' message.
Is there anything I can do about that, other than changing the name and marking the previous one as dead?

And by 'final dump', I mean he's dead so I can't go back in and wait until my xp is higher than the previous dump (but I won't ruin the surprise and tell you whether he died on dlvl100 or dlvl0...).

unless you're running the competition, then it's the opposite

See! This is a man who knows how to run competitions.

Barg. I'd rather not bug Pav about this, he already does a lot Changing your dude's name and posting would probably be the easiest thing to do.

No worries. Will do.
(Might occur more than once in this comp...)

This is pointless... You can win the game and then rest for ages until you're back at level 1 with 0 xp. The winning criteria should still be lowest turn count.

Well, character dump does not count unless it is posted immediately after winning, a note in character history mention exact turn when big 'P' was killed.

Nah, Thraalbeast was right. Max xp is recorded and since permanent drain isn't permanent anymore in 3.5, you can reasonably base the win on lowest xp.

It's too bad I don't see Fizzix's name on here in this competition. This would be great in his "Let's Play Angband" video series.

I am so glad I came back while this is running. Genius!

Yay - 5000th post!

Congrats to PowerWyrm for placing 1st (and 3rd!) in what was possibly the winningest angband competition of all time. And after all that complaining about the nonwinner ranking scheme, too...

Kudos also to Atanvarno, who took a very late 2nd place, and to the other 10 (!) winners.

Thanks again to ShadowTechnology for coming up with a fun competition idea.
