[E|0%|YAVP] True Pacifism! :)
Tormuse:
This run took more tries than I'd like to admit. :P
There are a lot of YAAM posts around, so I wondered how hard it would be to play at the opposite end of the spectrum and get as *few* kills as possible. It turns out the answer is "pretty hard," even at ITYTD difficulty! :P Well, in one of my earliest attempts, I got a total of 6 kills, (Cyberdemon, Mastermind, and 4 guys that got killed in crossfire) so naturally, I thought, "I can do better than that!" and set out to try to get a total of two kills, 1 Cyberdemon and 1 Mastermind. The best part is that when I finally did it, the mortem rounded it down to 0% kills! :D
This all required the frequently attempted, but rarely pulled off, strategy of "be lucky." :P ...Well, actually, my strategy was to make the berserk from Chained Court last until the Cyberdemon and kill him with the Chainsaw. Getting to the Cyberdemon before the berserk ran out meant that I had to head straight to the stairs, not stopping for even a second to pick stuff up unless it was a Homing Phase Device or another Berserk. (I had a few attempts ruined because my berserk ran out at Tower of Babel, just before I could kill the Cyberdemon, so every second really did count!) The Cyberdemon alone made me immediately jump from character level 1 to level 3 with 92% of the way to level 4! That's enough to get Berserker trait, so after that, I was able to deviate a bit and pick stuff up, since it wasn't as important to maintain the berserk, since even if the berserk ran out before I reached the Mastermind, there was a good chance it would kick in again while fighting her. :)
Still, it did require quite a bit of luck. Firstly, I had to hope that staircases were close to my starting point, so I could get to them quickly. Secondly, I had to hope for a distribution of enemies that wouldn't get themselves killed in crossfire. My worst enemies in this game were Sergeants, since their spray frequently killed other Formers or imps or blew up barrels. It frequently took quite a bit of finesse to dance around enemies in a way that no one got killed in the crossfire, especially in early levels, where there were a lot of small enemies. Ironically enough, the cave levels, normally some of the harder levels, were actually the easiest to deal with, since those tend to contain tougher enemies that are the least likely to kill each other. In this game, I was "lucky" enough to have three consecutive Arachnotron caves in Hell. :) I was also lucky enough to get three more Berserk packs between CC and Cybie, and a Power mod and Bulk mod to enhance the Red Armour from Phobos Anomoly and the Chainsaw respectively, and a Missile Launcher which I used for wall-busting to cut through a maze and avoid some enemies. I even got an Invulnerability shortly before facing the Mastermind and a lucky Phase Device took me two squares away from the exit on the second-last level! All in all, a pretty lucky game! :)

My God... I'm a monster! :(
ParaSait:
"Wimpy Chump"? Not at all. He was just passin' by not giving a shit about anything (like, not even an armed nuke) as he made a stroll to Spidie to kick his ass.
thelaptop:
Great... now we need a new medal for 0% kills also. >.<
But that said, this is one very crazy run.
A pity you couldn't record and play it back to show us the true splendour of your achievements! =P
