    Heh, seems your own chaotic tactics of throwing away the huge food stock came back to haunt you, mike

    tapi, save is back on the server for you to play. You could make yourself champion if you get through this round...

    koctyxa, could do with your highscore details to determine ascendancy.

    That's what I dislike about (certain) chaotic tactics: it turns it into a game of luck rather than skill. Obviously, luck plays a part in the non-chaotic rounds, but when things like this happen it turns into who can get the stairs generated closest together, or who can get a corpse to drop, etc.

    I don't dislike all chaotic tactics (meh's ring of doom from the first round was a masterstroke) but things like throwing all the food away fall into the 'too luck-dependant' category for me.

    That's not a complaint about how well anyone did - just the fact that it's over. I was interested in seeing how far our little Troll could go.

    Yeah, I might have underestimated the effect of leaving behind all the food. Then again, the character was on much lower satiation than I left it on. (This is the weakness I intended to expose, that too often players spend a lot of turns running away from things they can easily kill.)

    I played from the save directly after chaos tactics... dealt with tension room, descended once due to breeders...2000 turns later, food is clearly not a problem.
