just as a heads up i'm going to be traveling until the 30th, so you probably won't hear from me until then.  And yes, the best I had done before the tourney last year was a few one rune runs.

I started practicing at improving my speed, since my fastest win took 8 hours. Hopefully, I can reduce it to 4-5 hours.

Looks fun, I have made it to lair so I guess I could be a miners but the Soapers look like so much fun with Quinnr as the captain. Also I guess it depends on what you call close to a rune cause I have been in to a rune bearing branch so if that counts I could be a Blacksmith. Because the Blacksmiths have so few People I can join them if not throw me in with any of the lower levels. If you check my records the recent ones have been bad but thats because I was doing temple dives to try to find a Sif altar quickly then retreat to level one. Quite the rush to realize your on dungeon level 7 and only level 1.

Here is my best which has made it to swamp With poison resistance but sadly got surrounded because of a bad teleport.

Sign me up, now that I've gotten online working again - have been playing Tiles since last year's tournament, lol.  CAO and CDO name is christhawk, level is somewhere in the middle.  I find the Lair a lot but I've never lived long enough to see the Vaults. 

edit:  I played on CAO last year, but I've been running CDO to play 0.7 recently.  I'll be back on CAO as soon as 0.7 is actually released - better speed on the right continent. :)

Hello everyone, I am Blyxx and I hope to be joining you all for the tournament.  Although this is my first post, I have been lurking in the shadows here on and off for months.  I have been playing DCSS since September of last year.  I have played online since February of this year.  I am absolutely addicted to Crawl thanks to its endless variety and steep challenge.  I'm really looking forward to playing as part of a team and competing in the tournament.  I love to try out lots of species/background combos so I think I'll be a good addition to the strategy of trying for lots of combo high scores.  If I'm dedicated, I think I'll be able to manage a win or two as well.

Looking forward to this year's tourney!

Weelcome, Blyxx!

This brings the Champions team to almost full. I'm quite intimidated by the company I find myself in the Champions team, but I'm fairly sure I'll stick with it (and get that win!), even if I'll have the lowest score on it again. Unless of course we actually get 2 more people of the same dedication and skill level as those already signed-up. Though I would feel bad for taking Soadreqm's Blacksmith Captain position away.

Consequently, who wants to captain Miners?

Are we sure the captain doesn't count towards the 6 players?
Also, adding zchris now.

The Soapers are totally gonna win the tournament, right?
(Well, Vactor got his first win during the tournament. We can all go from hardly getting anywhere to super pros in 10 days, right?)

Yep, six players per team, Captain included. My numbering on the team setup is slightly confusing though as C replaces 1.


Anyway, Blyxx's comment about strategy of getting lots of combo highscores, made me think of a frightening thing that would almost quarantee us a win on that front. Last year, to ensure Ealbright's victory in high scores, the rest of the team got better scores in his rivals' race/class combinations. This time we might effectively have 23 people to do that. It's verging on being too unsportsmanslike, but I guess it might be an unavoidable consequence of having so many teams from the same place as Bay12ians are likely to avoid topping each others race/class combo scores.

I don't know if this a good or an evil thing.

Oh, didn't notice that till I was editing my file.

Also, I think there is competition within Bay12, as well.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.

As captain, I shall start generating a list of all the obscure races we need to come first in!  Ahahah!

Other than that, I guess the intermediate people should shoot for runes as much as possible.
