This is based solely on trust, please don't make false posts. Post your all-time highscore without making a back up file or cheating in anyway.

I can post my highest score on this computer. I don't have access to my home computer right now.

9922 Gaea. L10 high elven ranger (F). 26505 xps. 7798 turns. Died on 1/7/2008.
She was killed by a ghul in a small cave.

I have a higher scoring current game, but as I have not died, I cannot post it. :D I will post my home computer win later tonight. I don't think that it will eclipse adomer's though.

Some of those victories were a bit suspect in my book. Someone won with a level 35 character? That is either one of the most impressive things I have ever seen or there are some shenanigans going on. I also like that this is relatively quick response from people. You can ooh or aah over other people's scores and even have yours admired!

Dougy
03-08-2008, 12:51 AM
Well I thought it should at least be mentioned in this type of thread. True, there are some flags that seem quite difficult to actually achieve (eg. Level 1 ChAoS god), but I don't really think it's impossible, I don't see why people would cheat - what's the point? Hey, I've finished with a L35 char, it was a Troll Barbarian, they don't level up quickly.

By the way, all of my victories are real. So here's my top:

Score: 26639624

Fluorine. L50 dwarven ranger (M). 37008455 xps. 259079 turns.
Won on 3/31/2004.
He saved the world with his brave efforts and became a great ruler while saving himself 7 times.

But that was a long time ago now. Here's a more modern one.

Score: 8795964

Liao. L50 dwarven ranger (M). 38446169 xps. 362993 turns.
Ascended on 12/24/2007.
He transformed into an avatar of Order in the palace of Andor Drakon.

I'm not sure if you need to kill him yourself, but I suspect you don't. Level 1 hurthling bards can tame Killer bugs (if you go though enough characters) that can kill almost anything. But to get the TotRR you need to talk to the Assassin Prince at level 45 or more. Thus preventing a level 1 char completing an Ultimate Chaos God ending. But that's not a prerequisite for the normal Chaos God ending.

139687 Travis. L17 high elven beastfighter (M). 307626 xps. 62282 turns. Died on 2/10/2008. He was killed by a moloch on the second level of some strange dwarven caves.

I cried...

Baranor
03-08-2008, 06:42 AM
Wow! This was closer than I imagined. You have me beat adomer, but just by a few thousand. I'm sure there are people with chaos god endings with super high scores, but I'm happy with this one at the moment. I'm working on a normal chaos god ending right now. I figure go nostalgic before heading for the TotRR.

13190328 Anna L50 hurthling bard (F). 32325146 xps. 182526 turns. Won on 2/28/07.
She saved the world with her brave efforts and became a great ruler while saving herself 57 times.

I've scored higher in previous versions, 46567428 back on 11/8/2000.

My highest score is:


Ruiner, the gnomish wizard, saved the world with his brave efforts and
became a great ruler while saving himself 10 times.
He scored 29482432 points and advanced to level 50.

Not really impressive if compared to scores from brinkster hall of fame, but anyway I'm happy with it.

I won once with a monk, but don't have that computer anymore. On my laptop, I only have one win:

Score: 11493200. Sally, L50 hurthling farmer. 152189 turns. She saved the world and became a great ruler while saving herself 12 times.

That was a fun, straightforward game. She got crowned fairly early, saved Khelevaster, and swept through the deep levels with Purifier and Protector.

My number 2 score still hurts--Molly was well on her way to what would have been my first Avatar ending. She had the crown and medallion of Chaos, and had cleared the entire CoC except for the last 2 levels. She was slaying emperor molochs in the Scintillating Cave left and right... but forgot that the range of her death ray was longer than it used to be, and didn't have anything equipped that gave her resistance.

Score: 2100185. Molly, L46 human wizard. 165551 turns. She drained her life away with a death ray on level 9 of a wondrous cave.

Cheers,
Ben

So why do you people post save-scummed records like:
She saved the world with her brave efforts and became a great ruler while saving herself 57 times.

As far as I remember this is actually a counter of how many times you save scummed.
Please don't get me wrong, because I also did save-scumming, but in this thread there should be no such 'scummed' records ;)

BTW, for JADE I'm considering a web-based hall of fame and special save file format that allows you to uploads your characters and that will contain some kind of encrypted signature so that it becomes much harder (if not impossible) to fake character posts.

That would be great TB! It would be good to also prevent save-scummed chars too, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

Not exactly. It is a counter of how many times you saved game, not how many times you save scummed(afaik Adom doesn't track how many times certain save has been loaded). So while it's possible that someone save scummed(especially if someone has made lot of saves), still it's not a proof.


BTW, for JADE I'm considering a web-based hall of fame and special save file format that allows you to uploads your characters and that will contain some kind of encrypted signature so that it becomes much harder (if not impossible) to fake character posts.

You can make requirement that person along with .flg post would need also to send save(for example in Adom you'd need to save game just before leaving Drakalor Chain). That was working on adom.phx.pl site few years ago, and it was working well.

About save scumming, as far as I know there are ways to prevent save scumming. In one variant of NetHack, game counts how many times certain save has been loaded, and if one save is loaded second(or more) time, game automatically enters wizard mode(therefore, such game doesn't count on highscore).

I have about 7,8 wins but this one is highest. FLG can be found on brinkster.



1 40349568 Dethmar (Boss). L50 dark elven necromancer (M). 23108497 xps.
113791 turns. Won on 9/18/2007.
He saved the world with his brave efforts and became a great
ruler while saving himself 5 times.

He was killed by an ancient red dragon on level 46 of the caverns of chaos.

I had to copy it from another computer. Clearly my best score ever and I'm proud of it. played on 1.1.1 dos version.

6051364 Trinity. L1 hurthling bard (F). 87 xps. 217614 turns.
Died on 1/31/2004.
She managed to become a ChAoS gOd in the palace of Andor Drakon

Yes it's very real, a completion of the Titanium Man challenge by Al, and one of the most astounding feats in ADOM history (probably second to Barry Kearns' Eternium Man). Read up on it (http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.adom/msg/256516654c561aaa?) and you'll see some quite insane and advanced tactics. The char tamed a killer bug and tore through the game with it, but still trained up missiles and shields without killing things and scummed Jharod for PoUH to increase HP. After a huge amount of time and preparation he then took on Andor Drakon (without the trident - thus just a OCG ending).

My highest score was 28.5 mil for a recent regular win with a drakish wizard, but my favourite is this:


8478604 Seria. L50 high elven priest (F). 37378217 xps. 377439 turns.
Died on 12/11/2005.
She transformed into a miserable and wretched chaos servant (after saving her
world) in the palace of Andor Drakon.
Would have been my first victory if I was wielding the trident :(

Baranor
03-08-2008, 06:44 PM
I am just amazed with how few times people save the game. I generally can only play for a couple hours at a time, if that. Because of that, I have to save a lot. I also play for 10 minutes at a time on buses and in airports and stuff. It helps me pass the time. An example was last night. I think I saved 4 or 5 times in like 2 hours of playing the game because I would get interrupted by stuff like my girlfriend or food. I don't like to leave ADOM open on my computer because I have found that it has a tendency to crash.

Worst Player... ever
03-16-2008, 01:23 AM
142575 Von Liefgar. L15 orcish necromancer (M). 190255 xps. 57835 turns.
Died on 2/9/2008.
He was killed by Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, on level 12 of the Caverns of Chaos.

Don't ask.

I am in the middle of my ADOM 'quickening'. All of my top ten scores are from the last 2 months, and I've got several living characters who are comfortably ahead of the unfortunate Von Liefgar. ;)

Starhawk
03-17-2008, 02:34 AM
It's not that hard to finish the game with a basic ending with a level 35-ish character. The "wands of destruction" variant of the basic ending is certainly doable at that level.

Same death here >_<

Waldenbrook has killed 2 of my top ten. That guy is a menace! And on this occasion, it's even worse than it sounds. There was a potion shop on the level below Dwarftown. I was attacked by a monster out of LOS of the shopkeeper, and my bolt spell hit him because I underestimated its range.

It looked I'd be able to take him out, but I accidently brought him up the stairs with me while I was trying to heal. I killed him up there, and this turned Dwarftown hostile. There was a period after that where I got back down the stairs, and I was stranded on D:13 with 5 hp, low on food, searching through my inventory for something that might help me survive and wondering what the hell I had been thinking about. Every ADOM player knows that feeling. :eek:

Anyway, that all happened in the span of 2 minutes real time.

I was cruising before that... it's just one of those things where you're doing well and you stop thinking carefully about your actions. I couldn't have made more of a mess of that whole situation if I'd tried. :o

I have a victory with a level 36 trollish healer. So, yes, it's quite possible to win with a character at that level, without even requiring any fancy strategies. Just compare the 'x' table with a trollish character to, say, a hurthling and you'll see how different the XP requirements are.

Anyway, here's my highest-scoring victory:



1 32077460 Darlene. L50 dark elven assassin (F). 23956569 xps. 105467
turns. Won on 4/24/2003.
She saved the world with her brave efforts and became a great
ruler while saving herself 2 times.


That was quite a fun game... Needle and Sting are wonderful.

While saving herself 2 times? Very nice. With over 100k turns you must have quite long play sessions.

kurivaim
03-19-2008, 02:07 AM
Thanks. I did indeed have long play sessions, but I would also usually just leave the game running when I went to a lecture or took a nap. There was at least one occasion when I was exhausted and made a very boneheaded move that nearly killed me, then just prayed and backed away from the computer to sleep for a few hours. Oh, to be in university again, when I had time for the important things in life...

343889, Gimli, L23 Dwarf Paladin, almost 90K turns, got killed by a titan on D35.

Second best score, Top game progress (Here I beat Gi, Wheeler and Linka before the Titan stomped me into the ground).

Three years ago I had 419679, L20 (same class. I like them), I forget how many turns, and destroyed by a near-dead Ancient Chaos Wyrm. The reason THIS one is higher is because I found an amulet for Khelly.

If somebody still has any doubts, there is no problem to win with a low level Troll. Especially if you don't do unnecessary high-XP things like greater vaults or Blue Dragon Caves. My Troll did it at level 27.

BTW, I believe that the roguelike high score lists are only good for seeing your progress as you didn't win yet, and comparing your characters who did not win. There are better metrics to compare winners than score. For example, I believe it is a greater achievement to win with a weak character, than to spend lots of time making your character stronger. And the stronger character will usually get a higher score.

Also, there is a bug in ADOM which disrupts the high score sometimes, when you manage the Thieves Guild to owe you money.

She was extinguished by Nuurag-Vaarn, the Chaos Archmage in the

30439 XP. 9982 Turns. Died on 3/1/2008.
He was killed by a caveman in a small cave (Trying to reach HMV!!!!!!!)


Course my current char will blow this score out of the water, level 18 human elementalist (Love them eles) That I decided to build as a melee char with decent magic support instead of a straight up nuker. Its working pretty well, all of my talents have went into melee orientated ones. When I run out of Power I just hack stuff up with my eternium
long sword (+1, 2d8+7). Got Natures friend from crowning, pretty nice shield. got elemental gauntlets. I would have sword of nonnak but got no way to dig yet lol. currently in CoC debating if I want to go down to khelavastars level or try to find an AoLS.

Silfir
10-12-2008, 11:30 PM
Is this for real? I never posted in this thread?

Well, then here is my current highscore:

27,104,452 - Rends, female dwarven druid, 27,656,910 xp, 186145.
Saved the world yadda yadda became great ruler yadda saving herself 10 times.

In terms of raw power she rivals my gray elven wizard for the top spot. Awesome feats she managed to achieve include a greater undead vault taken out using Freezing Fury while being surrounded by serious assloads of hordes of masses of monsters summoned by the emperor liches and lich kings while never in serious danger.

ivoryknight - currently you need 20931 points to gain entry on my highscore list. That doesn't mean your score is pathetic - I think you don't get much more with high elven archers that die of starvation on the way to the CoC (those were my spot 1 entries when I just started playing). Don't feel too bad - Trollish healers are hard to win the game with (or, to be more precise, hella boring). If you want to get farther ahead, either read the troll guide by gut once it's finished or switch to something non-troll that still kicks ass, like high elven archers or orcish barbarians.

powerful.

ivoryknight
10-13-2008, 04:44 PM
I think what happened with the blood loss was I became surrounded by barbarians, and after that my first aid skill became ineffective. I don't know if being surrounded actually does have an effect on your skills or I just had some bad luck at that particular moment.
