User:Patrick2011b/0.32 Tournament
This tournament will run from August 30, 2024 to September 15, 2024. The tournament page can be found here, while my profile for the tournament can be found here.
I feel like I've improved quite a bit as a player since the last tournament, so I've got more ambitious goals this time. I plan to start by speedrunning a Minotaur for the tier 3 Makhleb banner (win in under 3 hours) and a high value win, then I'll do some easy combos for another win. After that, I'll probably try a Nemelex' choice combo if any of them seem relatively easy, and I'll also try extended if I can get a suitable character to the late game. All that should get me into the top 100, though there are no guarantees I'll actually do that well. I'm also going to be in a clan this time, and it's a good one (The 27 Club, which finished 5th in 0.31), so I'll see what the clan experience is like.

Stats
This section will contain tournament stats, though stats for the tournament as a whole will wait until the tournament is over. The leaderboards compress ties, but the ranks given here won't compress ties. For example, if there's a two-way tie for 14th in something, the next lower score will be considered 16th. Here are my scores and ranks for some key categories as well as overall:
- Overall Score: 13.039 (67th)
- Best High Score: 357,894 (87th)
- Lowest Turncount Win: n/a
- Fastest Real Time Win: n/a
- Most Pacific Win: n/a

Wins
This section contains a log and brief writeup for each of my winning characters. The altar in each entry shows what god the character won with, which matters for the piety category. Essentially, each distinct god won is worth 400 tournament points unless the god was either never championed or was Gozag, Ignis, or Xom (those gods don't use the standard 6* piety system), in which case it's only 200 tournament points. The wins are given in chronological order.
Notable Losses
This section contains a log and brief writeup for each losing character that I consider notable enough for a writeup. If an entry has an altar in it, it means the character championed that god (i.e. reached 6* piety at some point). Essentially, each distinct god championed is worth 200 tournament points, though Gozag, Ignis, and Xom don't use the standard 6* piety system and therefore can't be championed. The games are given in chronological order.
- MiBe^Trog This was my first game of the tournament, and it had some promising gear, including a +2 broad axe of flaming in a shop that I was close to being able to afford. Unfortunately, D:10 had a nasty vault that I couldn't retreat from.
MiBe^Trog I got a rune for the first time in this one, and I got 3 gems. I originally planned to do Snake before Shoals, but mutation roulette gave me clarity, which made most of the will checks in Shoals a non-issue, so I did that first. Unfortunately, I also got deformed body from mutation, so my AC and resists were lacking in Snake, and I ended up getting surrounded and quickly killed in Snake:3. Maybe those two practice speedruns that both won were a mirage, and it's not actually that easy. Now that I have gem points for Lair, D, and Shoals, I'll probably be less aggressive in skipping content for future attempts.- MiBe^Trog This character was another attempt at a speedrun, and it got to Vaults:5 despite mediocre gear. Unfortunately, I got bad luck with teleports there and couldn't get out after I was doomed. With all my missing consumables, I probably couldn't have won anyway. The run convinced me that I need good items to speedrun and should otherwise actually clear everything I don't need to park.
