Comp 163
Competition 163 is up!
It's an FAangband Vanilla-town Petty-dwarf Assassin, in honor of all the hard restructuring work that our inimitable Vanilla maintainer has been doing. Now go out there and restructure some orc faces.

not sure what happened, but about an hour into play I decided to ^X, and got the message "Saving Failed..." and the game exited.

You clearly don't know about the FAangband design philosophy. You roll d20 on every ^x or ^s and if you roll a 1, it crashes without writing to disk.

Is this in Windows? I seem to recall some issue with permissions to save if the folder isn't in your My Documents directory (or something like that) with newer versions of Windows - you could possibly try testing different locations.

Everything is going fine on all my successive dives, guessing it was related to being the first time I saved somehow.
Also, curious how score is calculated for the competition? Before I died, I had less xp and more turns, but was ranked above Murphy, so score can't be just xp. Is it related to how many uniques you kill? |

As of right now, you had 181516 score / 686537 turns = ~0.26 Murphy had 244295 / 798746 = ~0.31, so he indeed would be ranked above you.
