If you want to try something other than halberds, I can tell you that two-handed scimitars will play similarly. They also deal more damage than halberds, and you can wield one single-handedly more easily than a halberd.

Yesterday I had a game where I got a scroll of wishing and a wand of mirroring (amongst other things) before getting to UT3. Unfortunately UT2 was also infested with MMs, and a werewolf got him.

People with higher leg strength will have an advantage anyway. Also, having to go back and forth will advantage people with higher agility. Randomly generated stats means some games will have advantages over others.
The reason I suggested you not bother with taking the items back is that since you've placed a time limit that's just wasted time going back and forth, not to mention that, as cow noted, the weight limit adds to the strategy. By the way I would like to stress that this is just a suggestion, it's your challenge.

I don't think you should have to get back to NA and lay out the items. The biggest obstacle here is weight management. Just have people screenshot their inventory at the moment it becomes day 2.

Surviving Enner is simply a matter of luck. If he spawns off in a corner it's very easy to survive, as the further away you are the less damage he does. If he spawns right next to the stairs an adamantine platemail won't save you.

Ack. That could have gone much better. I forgot to note when I entered UT3 as well. However, here's my first attempt.
52 carnivorous plants
72 greater carnivorous plants
23 giant carnivorous plants
Total: 147
Noteworthy stuff:
4 cans of healing fluid
2 bottles of troll blood
Wand of teleport
Bronze short sword +1
Iron short sword
Iron chainmail
Troll hide cloak of fire resistance
Gauntlets of Dexterity +2
Oh yeah, almost caught leprosy on UT2. Ran away and later found out the zombie spoiled away
Also, backpack. I planned to go out with a bang should I find myself surrounded and near death, but I was fighting a pair of giant carnivorous plants, I killed one, then the other one got a lucky shot on me, ending my killing spree.
Also, I don't think you should judge survivor category by turns. Healing over 15 minutes counts as a single turn, as does searching in 5 seconds.

Do pets' kills count too?
