(unsure if shields have the reflect brand now)

Donald got his shield of reflection in 0.6 in 2010. It's been in for quite a while.

I know T_T That's why I miss it and have been wondering if they still exist given that other items now have the {Reflect} characteristic.

Am also still lost in flailing around on what is the better (less-mutationable) training area to go to (in my last post), or that I can just get the orb and run for it...

There's also the warlock's mirror, a buckler that can reflect intangibles, like hexes too. I managed to reflect a cateboleas breath once, with it. Was fun. And I have no idea how to spell that, offhand, and tabs on my phone are awful. -_-

If you can even block anything with a buckler...

Woo, first win in 0.18 \o/

[Drakale]

Well done!

I think the brooch of shielding is one of the better randart now, it's crazy how effective it is against ranged stuff.

[AlStar]

Don't know if I've got enough time to actually win with this guy - even if he doesn't meet his end at 2 runes (again) - but at least I finally got the Swamp rune - only took 3 4 Shoal runes.

Edit: Ooh, first Silver rune of the tournament too. Only an hour left to go though...

Edit^2: That's 3 runes... less than 30 mins left...

Edit^3: Zot:1, but it's now 4:02 PM. Ah well, I'll see if I can win this later.

[vogonpoet]

Yeah I rushed my CeHu a bit, so he died. Still, 2 wins and 3 more dudes who died with 2 runes is not too bad a tourney for me, considering the sleep deprivation and time constraints. Now I have just a week left to finish my doctorate .

Congrats everyone who managed to bring Orbs home - looks like the Champions will stay in the top 20 clans again, nice work.

[Damiac]

I squeezed in a win at the last minute with a GrSk, not worth many points but it was fast.  Bay 12 champs got number 19, not bad at all!

[Aoi]

Thankfully, there wasn't any penalty for number of games. I single-handedly accounted for 44% of the games played, and a disproportionately low number of wins. ._.

At least killing my own ghost over and over was somewhat useful, though.

Edit: And MiFi and MiBe account for about 20% of wins, each, respectively. And how on earth is the 15th shortest-number-of-turns also a 15-rune win?!

[Vactor]

Congrats to everyone on another respectable performance by Bay12 in the tournament

And how on earth is the 15th shortest-number-of-turns also a 15-rune win?!

Resting is the turn killer, i'm guessing a lucky/well built char that rarely had to press 5.  (can formicids shaft their way through the hells?)  Maybe they found tons of EXP potions.

[TheDarkStar]

It's amazing how only 1.8% of all games were wins.

And it appears that MiFi of Trog and MiBe are preferred methods of winning.

[Tarquinn]

Thanks for having me. Back to lurking til next year.

[Damiac]

It was a lot of fun participating in the tourney, although I did get really disheartened when I lost a really great FoAk due to stupidity.  I noticed that after stupid deaths with promising characters, I'd just go on tilt with a bunch of crappy characters, then stop playing for a bit. 

Still, I'm happy with how we did, bay 12 champions were #19, we had six combo high scores, we killed every unique except murray and ignacio (I've seen murray 2 or 3 times, and ignacio exactly once during my entire crawl career). 

I know I was a terrible organizer, so hopefully someone a little more... organized will want to run it next time, but I'm glad we got everyone onto a team who wanted to be on one.  Nice job to everyone who participated!
