    Well, that's sad! I'll post a dead guy real quick then to add a lump of coal to the ladder.
    You are on something strange

      Finally got round to playing, Aranruth is nice. Being eaten by a sword spider at 100' not so nice.

        Compo 167 is rough, though mostly now due to my current PosChengband habit of holding down keypresses.
        My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:

        If I'm offline I'm probably in the middle of maintaining Gentoo or something-Linux or other.

          Just a notice that I will be terribly disappointed in everyone here if you let this travesty of a character win comp 167!!!

            Where's Wildkhaine, Psi, clouded, and elliptic when Sil needs them!?

              I can take a crack at it; although, the thought of that character winning gave me a chuckle instead of disappointment.

                I give up. I had several good runs, a particularly promising one (Shortsword of Galadriel + Parry) ended due to the combination of disconnected stairs + chasms + expensive leaping (after other evasion abilities) forcing me down a bit too fast. Fun competition, surprised there are no Morgoth kills, we used to have them in Edain competitions.

                  I think Morgoth is much harder to kill for pure-melee characters in Original Sil 1.2.1.

                    I doubt my guy's going to be able to kill Morgoth short of finding a massive stack of staves of earthquakes. On the positive side I just grabbed artifice & am on a level of smithing heaven. 2x 3 use forges, 1x enchanted forge (only 2 use) & Orodruth. I managed 2 artifacts & have probably sprinted 1000 laps of the level trying hard not to die....

                    Edit: I'm out now too....

                      Congrats to Jungle_boy for winning, and to runner-up Nivim as well. And thanks to everyone for painting the ladder red with Santa's blood

                      Happy 2015!

                        You were so close!! You should get bonus points for all the santa-themed gear you made

                          Yeah was a fun run, but a flawed plan for the throne room. Damn it, Morgoth is earthquake immune! I hit him a couple of times at over 40 will & it stuns him but doesn't scratch him or knock off the crown.

                            Damn. First time I check in here for a while and I miss a Sil comp by a day.
