I really like my top non-winners list. All of them but maybe #28 there tell their own story. #19 was only scored so high because of that glitch on chaos knight release. #25 was pure stupidity after handily beating the game the first time playing a barbarian... decided to use an extra wish on xps, and yeahhh not so wise an idea. #26 died because of that acid blood corruption -- every time Drakon got a hit in, he would blindly teleport around the level, and I had no efficient way of hunting him down. I don't remember #28, but #29 is a hilarious case of pets gone awry. Fitting moniker for a pet that basically pulled me through half the game.
Other highlights: attacking a stone ooze with Wyrmlance, a drakeling OHKO'd by a ghost king, critical'd to death by late-game shopkeepers and a royal guard. From then on down it's mostly ToEF and frost giant vault deaths... with one random poisoned to death on F47 that I don't remember.
