At some point recently, I saw Game Hunter's signature challenging people to beat a 7:50 AoPc run. It took me a few tries, but I did it. Looking at the mortem I noticed I had stockpiled some red armors. Apparently I had time to pick them up, but never any time to think about wearing them. I did get a full win during the AoPc attempts, but that game was ~15-20 minutes. I think it was my first full win in 0.9.9.1.

Dag, yo. And I thought my 7:50 time was rather generous of the RNG...shaving another 30-35 seconds is crazy. Major props on managing 7/10 special levels, too, I can only imagine trying for Compet-N Plat + Explorer.

Of course, this just means I have to keep running through until I break YOUR record, and so on and so forth, until someone goes so fast Kornel feels obliged to add an entirely new Compet-N medal. Off I go!

I agree that the RNG has to like you for this to be even possible. I think it only took 4 M AoPc wins (I don't know how runs I did, 30ish?) to beat 7:50, but I've played a lot of N! AoPc/AoB which helped a great deal. Even then it took a considerable amount of button mashing, alternating movement keys with enter presses to get the messages to go by as fast as possible.

I really wondered for the ~10-20 seconds I was in the Mortuary if I was going to die. I always just took the first set of stairs I saw, which might be foolish, but I didn't have a lot of time to think. Too bad I missed the Halls of Carnage, it's always worth stepping in there for a brief second.

I think with a little more RNG luck and the same amount of button mashing, I think at least another ~10-15 seconds could be shaved off. I do remember spending way too much time on one level, but I still got pretty lucky over all. I can't decide if I should wait for you to beat my time, or just start trying to beat it now...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So I guess I'm the number 3 At the moment, yay :)
What do you think about creating a new thread for this kind of competition?
First post would be:

Top [M|AoPc] runners:
1. 07:16 - AStranger (mortem (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,3352.msg29302.html#msg29302))
2. 07:50 - Game Hunter
3. 09:00 - Matandun (mortem (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,3352.msg29345.html#msg29345))
4. ...

?

Took a couple of hours and quite a few restarts, but man, I like to think it was worth it.

It sure as hell didn't start all that well, couple of almost-deaths, but I was too pissed to keep restarting after a small ray of hope. Level 6 Chained Court netted me an extra level and plenty of berserk for a couple of floors. Surely, my late-game was far more lucky, with at least six sets of stairs immediately within range.

Hellgate is kinda funny, actually: you pick up the med-packs and armor and globes, and then hold down the right arrow while frantically pressing the Enter key. Even with all the Lost Souls on you, I only needed one pack to survive.

I think I'm done trying to beat a record now, this is about as much of a divine intervention I could've asked for.

Damn. I tried a couple more runs a few days ago and hit a 7:17, but this blows mine out of the water. I'm going to try to beat this one, but that is a tall order. Very well done.
