 12 of those were killed by something unknown.
 32 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 32 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!

So to break up the frustration of N! AoB runs I've been trying to win in the lowest # of turns possible.  At first I tried a rapid weapon build, and reached Cybie in about 8000 turns, but had no way of killing him.  No BFG, no plasma rifle, and didn't hit close to hard enough with the chaingun and merely 4 traits to win, since I didn't have the luxury of picking up many medpacks along the way.

After a few runs, it seemed that I would likely only gain 3 levels in my rush to the Phobos Arena, so how best to allocate 4 traits?  Back to pistols, actually!  Son of a Gun is nice in that not only does it up the rate of fire, but also increases damage, which is pretty important since Cybie has a lot of natural armor.  But even then you can't deal damage quickly enough relative to the damage it deals to you, so I ended up needing a fortunate situation where I could fire rockets at the wall next to him while hiding behind a pillar.

Demo available upon request, I don't want to take up too much space on the webserver with less impressive runs, although this one is a bit unique.

Got it down to 8660 turns, and with rapid weapons, surprisingly.  On Hey, not too rough, an early chaingun (or combat shotgun) is not necessarily a sure thing, unlike nightmare, so the first trait pick is a crapshoot.  Sometimes choosing reloader would lead to a chaingun, sometimes choosing eagle eye led to a combat shotgun.  Planeshift boots really cut down on movement time though, so that saved a large amount of turns.
