Going to repost the reddit post (from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADOM/commen...for_a_race_to/ ):

Calling all ADOM players, it's time for a race to close the gate

Yes, a race! Can you stream ASCII? Awesome! The new graphical interface? Even better for the new viewers! It's time to race.
Speedrunning community of ADOM has never grown because most people think for hours how to make those few thousand moves and shave a move here or there. This time it's realtime.
We start at same time, who gets to close the gate first wins, whether they just used 2k turns or 20k, no difference. You can restart as many times as you want, die as many times as you want. First person to close the gate wins, that's all (if all players spend first hour rerolling characters we might need to revisit that rule, but the spirit is to allow as many tries as possible even with stone block traps on the way).
