I was doing well, with a 100% kill rate, (and got MAD trait!) up until I got cornered by an Arachnotron and Hell Knight and got drilled by the Arachnotron.  :(  I probably could have survived, with the use of a few of those med packs, if I'd made a run for it through the acid, but I was near the beginning of the level and I didn't know if there was something worse through there.  I'm gonna have to make another attempt at this later on; it takes me a long time to play through Ao100 and the weather report says there's a storm coming and I don't want to lose my game to a power failure.

Arron Syaoran:
Good Job! If you'd have doubled your dungeon level(with the same kill rate) and gotten to level 16, you'd have the Hobo Bronze Badge just like me!

And yes, I remember that you're the one who's notorious for being one of the few to lose a DoomRL Game to power failure.
Also, I just noticed that getting to level 8-9 on N! or even UV is harder than reaching 26 on HMP. I'll lower the requirement for Bronze/copper on UV/N! in future challenges(if i can come up with more)

Please note that I got the Bronze Hobo Badge the easy way: Level 26 on HMP. I'm currently playing as a Sharpshooter in Ao666 trying to get 3 things:
1. The Biggest F*ing Gun(BBFF)
2. The Experience Medal(Level 25)
3. At least the Lone Gunman Badge if not The Vash the Stampede Badge or YAAM.(Currently playing on HNTR)

Edit: Guess I'm not getting the Vash Badge. Has to be HMP or above. There's always Lone Gunman.

Tormuse:
Well, I decided to give the Demonic Legendary Shotgun Hobo Badge another try.  It's going well so far, at dlevel 12 and pretty well stocked.  Funny thing:  Playing for 100% kills on N! Ao100 will take me to clevel 25 and I just calculated that in order to follow the rules of this challenge, since I can't get TaN, Triggerhappy, or Berserker, I'm going to have to take several levels of useless traits like Son of a Gun and Brute.  :P  (Okay Brute isn't 100% useless, but it's a shotgun challenge and using my fists without Berserker would be silly)  Hopefully, by the time I'm that high a level, it won't matter.  We'll see.  :)

Tormuse:
Well, here's my Bronze Hobo Badge:

It should've been a Demonic Legendary Shotgun Hobo Badge, except for an oversight at the end.  I had just started a Mancubus only level surrounded by Mancubi, which is an unpleasant situation in any game, but still shouldn't have been fatal with how prepared I was.  MAD blocks Hellrunner, so I was wearing the A-modded blue armour for extra speed, but this was a situation where I should've switched to the P-modded red armour.  (Or possibly the energy shield)  As it was, I thought I would be okay going around a corner where only one Mancubus could see me and a quick drilling from my Assault Shotgun took him out, but then another one came into view and he blew up my cover and in the same instant that my cover was destroyed, the other Mancubi fired too.  Apparently, somewhere in there, a barrel exploded too, which probably accelerated my demise.  My death was very sudden after several hours of painstaking gameplay, trying to remove every corpse.  It doesn't help my mood that I calculated it out and I would have survived if I had taken levels in Tough as Nails, which I would have if it wasn't forbidden by this challenge.  :|  Not that I'm bitter or anything, but I think I have to play something else for a while...

But on the plus side, I got Shottyman Bronze badge!  :D  Heheh, somehow I missed that one, probably because I went straight for the Shottyman Angelic badge in my previous game, which requires playing AoOC.
