How about you leave the previous scores, and make a new section for time?
E.G.
Survivors - Turn based:
cowofdoom78963
4zb4
capristo

&

Survivors - Time based:
EG
IE
ETC


Also in terms of challenges, seeing how long someone can last in the enner level without killing him... heh heh.
And also surviving in UT6. Same style as the plant one - don't kill the necromancers, add up zombie and skeleton kills, measure time etc. Added bonus: Don't let the veteran kamikaze dwarf die/get killed.

Also I just came up with a great idea for a challenge. I'm off to make a thread.

Hmm I think Chao's right. Instead we should note the time, displayed below your gold and the dungeon level.
...Which is unfortunate, seeing as i've just started another person and have noted the turn at which he entered.

EDIT: Then again, holding down "s" or "." doesn't warn you when a plant appears, so you may accidentally hold it down too long after the plant shows up and get killed. Oh, and just tapping "." until a plant sprouts is a long, boring process.
Also note that by holding "." down I'm currently soundly beating my record of turns...

EDIT2: Newest results.

The character "Duke Nukem" set out to whip plants and drink valdemar. And he was all out of valdemar. (this is 0.50 after all, if this was CVS, this wouldn't have been the case =P)
Entered UT3 at turn 1691, died at 3654. - (1963 turns in total)
Killed: 53 carnivorous plants, 29 greater carnivorous plants, 2 giant carnivorous plants (81 in total - no new record)
Cause of death: Killed by a Orange-Brown giant carnivorous plant (it panicked my guy)
Inventory: Chameleon whip, Ommel hair whip +2, Troll hide armor, broken belt of carrying, adamant helmet (found broken, repair scroll'd), boots of strength +2, troll hide cloak of electricity resistance, ring of electricity resistance, bronze pickaxe, 2 wands of teleport, wand of striking, wand of polymorph.

Great example: My aforementioned tale of being slaughtered by a zombie of a orc general on the entrance stairs to UT1.
Although that was in LIVAN. Not that it makes much difference.

Well just did another run, it went a lot better than my previous one, but nowhere near as good as cowofdoom's!

Entered UT3 at turn 1788. Died at 3296. (1508 turns total)
Killed: 32 carnivorous plants, 61 Greater carnivorous plants, 27 Giant carnivorous plants. (120 plants total)
Inventory: Iron boots, Iron Gauntlets, Meteoric steel chainmail +1 (shit yes), Hardened leather helmet, Ommel hair belt, Iron mace +1, Copper axe, ommel hair cloak.
Special notes: Caught leprosy, but this worked to my advantage since I knew both Legifer and Sophos. When a limb dropped off I prayed and either got a glass or hardened leather limb in return , However this lead to my downfall - a giant carnivorous plant critically injured both arms (which were glass and leather respectively) so I couldn't attack and I couldn't get them lopped off easily. One finally got bitten off when I was on striped red damage on my groin and torso, so I quickly prayed, got a glass arm and equipped my axe and swiftly cut the plant down. Sadly, when I was resting afterwards I had gotten to light-red on my torso when another giant carnivorous plant appeared and promptly shredded my useful arm to bits. I died exchanging bites with it :]

Well, here goes nothing! *Leaves to take on the plants*

I'm back. And here's how I did:


Arrived at turn 784. Died at 2193. (1409 turns)
Killed 55 plants.
Finally done in by a giant carnivorous plant that showed up seconds after the second one fell
Note most of my equipment is broken, and I was wearing a torn armor of great health.
I got a marble arm from Dulcis, which was damn helpful

Perhaps you could have separate Honor rolls per version of the game?
Since apparently winning CVS may be harder than normal IVAN due to it being unbalanced and such, LIVAN has more items to make use of and dungeons, ditto for IVANT...

That, or an at least slightly enchanted cloak of fire resistance or you won't make it far in the Gloomy Cave.

Well, on armor types the only real difference between them outside of weight and AV is what they are made out of.
e.g. A chainmail found in a dungeon will always be made of a type of metal.
Therefore the "cloth material" armors (leather, troll hide, ommel hair, dragon skin etc.) are better than a run-of-the-mill chainmail because they are lighter and don't rust should they get liquids (especially acid) on them. (they get "destroyed" instead, but nowhere near as fast as an armor or chainmail of the materials equivalent metal)

Super prediction in the title there Warkeck :[
Lets hope the 4chan'ers don't have anything against it and as such won't start DDoSing or trolling.

Turox is not the nicest weapon to use at the start of the game

Also, I've been finding a curious amount of holy hand grenades in UT in a few of my recent games.
