I have never died of starvation, though I did get extremely close once (1 food ration left on level 2 coming up) but that was mostly because I was using 2 rings almost the whole time (though taking them off whenever I could). Unless you get extremely unlucky with food generation, it's pretty hard to...

I feel like if you have an known identify scroll you should just be able to pick an item in your inventory and have it pop up an "identify this" button along with "wield/drop/etc." It only saves one or two clicks (and you wouldn't have to scroll through a second time using the se...

two things: I was playing Athena and then died. Next game I decided I would check a possible exploit of getting a secret character to die on level 2, attacking his corpse with an Athena, and taking his items. That exploit did not work (I was using the Hulk hoping to maybe get his +10 dmg ring :P ),...

I haven't really noticed that much of a difference when comparing armor levels. I had -7 armor level and it didn't really seem any different from all the times I've had 0 or 2 or 3. What *exactly* does your armor level get you again? It's a chance they miss you or does it take a certain amount of da...

Ok I'm back in at #5 (discounting one of your two runs) at 11274. Nothing really special about this run at all except it was the exact opposite of the first run in that I ended with 16 rations of food. Hit one pit trap going up which hurt me for a few hundred steps, and generally didn't have a lot o...

Man, I broke into the top 5 last night and I wake up this morning and I'm already bumped to 6. the weirdest thing i ran into was a treasure room with at least 7 leprechauns (no exaggeration). somehow i managed to kill all of them too. for some reason i seem to have much better luck killing nymphs a...

Man, I broke into the top 5 last night and I wake up this morning and I'm already bumped to 6. I almost starved making the run back up. I was on floor 2 trapped in two large rooms looking for a secret door with only 1 ration of food left. Saw two funny things, a Xeroc disguised as stairs right next ...

I bet you were turning the air all sorts of interesting colors afterwards..............I know I would be ;) It's the kind of thing that's just so dumb you have to laugh at it rather than be mad. So next run I did some extra searching in the early dungeons hoping I would have enough stuff to kill my...

I may have actually just beaten my last moment. Trying to get on the leaderboard for CD's angels, I get insanely lucky and find a +2+2 blessed two handed sword on level 1! This is nice since you start with a blessed spear, but it's not really a good idea to switch off it because the extra vision cut...

Finally made it out, but I'm #6 with 14337 (throwing out multiple runs ahead of me from others) Hitting multiple pit traps on my way up and several dungeons from levels 10-3 that I had to backtrack to search multiple rooms for secret doors really hurt me.
