As for the rest, yeah, it's been surprisingly quiet lately! Is anyone even playing DoomRL lately? :|
Inspired by Tormuse's not exactly inspirational words, I decided to dust of DoomRL again and tried getting back into action. After a number of lousy runs (Ao100 MSc - killed stepping into a puddle of lava on my way to the invul globe that was going to save me // AoI Scout: got splattered by an Arena Master that JUST.WOULDN'T.DIE. // AoI Scout - picked Brute instead of SoB, thereby fucking over my chances of the MCe I was aiming for) and

I had tried this challenge on a lot of previous occasions, too, but never even got to the Anomaly before this run. Unsure which builds I did previously, but of course Cateye served its purpose beautifully. Managed to do a lot of levels with low/no damage, but unfortunately my streak remained at 48 - on level 23, 46 kills and counting, I was deposited between arachnotrons on the left, and two arch-viles with mancubus support on the right, and no spot to take a good position. Or maybe there was, in hindsight, and I just couldn't be arsed running further.
Finally crossed the 25K kill mark - also first ever Arch-Vile rank - and now only 2 Bronze short of the full set (Hunter and Quartermaster). Tempting as it is to go for these two, I really dislike both challenges, so instead I think I'm going to switch back to UV standard again, try to improve my skills. And how knows, maybe I can squeeze out a Shottyman, Marksman or Lightfoot Gold sometime soon...
