Well, for players who farm Platinum badges this isn't anything special, but - my first full win ever!
Don't sell yourself short: us Platinum farmers (if you can CALL it that, I guess) either have too much time on our hands, get super lucky, or both. Generally, playing on Nightmare! is more about the rush and thrill than it is about the casual enjoyment, and not for everyone.
I could've done 100% run, but on Phobos Hell level 6 I got 3 invul globes. So, after one ended I grabbed two remaining and started looking for exit - I couln't find one, then used homing phase - turned out exit was right next to me. I had 2 remaining but luckily on the next level exit was near. I quickly got to Cybie, nuked him and entered JC's office...
You mean you ran stairs for Cybie-nuke and HF? If you had yet to see it, I can understand that well enough.
I have question about 'kill monsters' lever - if you use it and there's no monsters in vicinity you just waste it? I used it couple of times and nothing happened - 0 xp gain or monsters killed.
Yes, it's wasted. The lever should affect everything in the room, at worst a within a few tiles, but certainly not the entire map.
In any case, congrats on the first full win: it's a nice milestone in any player's DoomRL experience.
EDIT: I'm not sure if the thread title is...appropriate. Stating the whole John Carmack thing is a bit of a spoiler and, even though most forumites are adjusted to it, some people have yet to see full victory. I'd suggest to change up the "subtitle", and don't forget to list your kill-rate and full win as follows: [E|85%|YAFW]. YAFW alone tells people who haven't gotten them to stay away, if they don't want to know about it.
