Do pets' kills count too?
Yep, and if their plants so do their deaths.

Question: Pets?
Hmm. The main problem with pets is that if they get to the mother plant and kill her then you cant submit your score, otherwise their fine. If you want to take that risk go right ahead and bring a pet.

Just be sure to check that when you die nobody has killed the mother plant.

Yeah that would be a VERY good idea. LIVAN is way too easy compared to the original for them to be compared.

Alright. Im gonna try.

So I started out pretty well. I found a book of avitus and some good gear for plant killing. After a while I found another and after some reading got the anacadite plate mail. I decided to take a risk and go to silvas level. I managed to avoid the golem and get a +3 steel spear and some other goodies. I gathered up some corpses and some other things that might seem useful.

At turn 1538 I entered the plant level.

kicked a door and lost some potions to an explosion, but I survived so it was ok.
I found some gauntlets of strength giving me total protection
at 4775 i was still alive, a plant got a lucky hit on my leg and nearly crippled me but I got out just barely. so far so good!
I am at the point that I am overfed on kiwis, foods not much of a problem anymore.
5594, NEARLY BITTEN TO BITS BY PLANTS. All of my limbs turned black, but sophos saved me at the last second. I went to hide but shortly after I was attacked by plants yet again.
5598, I tried to escape by zapping a wand of lightning but it bounced and killed me. What a stupid way to die. But I still did pretty ok.

final score: 4060 turns
final kills:
45 small plants
94 medium plants
111 large plants
250 plants total.

Good luck beating that!

Didn't think of that. Don't know if I should make that against the rules or not. You would be pretty lucky to get both that early in the game.

Also turns are a lot easier to count than the date, so were using that now(I forgot the game even kept track of turns!)

EDIT:Actually the poly control thing brings up a good point. Someone could turn into a ghost, bills will, or eddy and just wait in the wall forever. I have to make sure that's not allowed. Im trying to be sorta light on the rules though, I don't want to become one of those final destination guys.

So, we're not allowed to go back to UT2 and heal I take it?
Nope. Leaving the level for any reason is forfeit, you can prepare as much as you like before you enter though.

Also, what about bones? If I find a ghost, should I start start over? (I propose that we should)
Hmm, this one's tough. Bones could be allowed but one could be travling back to new attnam after already beating UT and die.
So Im not going to allow bones. I would recommend that you make a file that has no bones in it so that you dont waste your bones on the competion.

I like the idea of having a seperate score for plant kills and time survived. Good idea capristo. I dont think I will count final score though becuase that might also count for what happens outside the level(you might also kill some plants outside UT3, but it's not nearly enough to count for much anyway)

It's an IVAN competition! Survive the last level of UT as long as possible without killing the mother plant.

Challenge 1:
As soon as you enter UT3 take note of the date. Then just try to stay alive as long as possible. As soon as you die the challenge is over. Take note of the date you died and subtract your first date from it. Then post that here. Remember to keep track of the date and not the turn! Survive as long as you can!

Challenge 2:
If you want you can also add up all of your carnivorous plant kills at the end of the game and submit that. Even plants killed outside of UT3 will count towards your score. Plants killed by pets count too! Kill as many as you can!

These are the rules
-Use unmodded version .50
-Using a wand of doors or breaking one while in the level is forfeit
-killing the mother plant is forfeit
-leaving the level before the challenge ends is forfeit
-no flying to Attnam before you start the challenge to grind your character
-no wizard mode(duh)
-if you encounter a bones level at any point you can not enter the challenge
-you may not choose to polymorph into a ghost, bills will, or eddy in UT3.

Who can last the longest? If you want to show off you can post pictures but it's not required.

well if it's not done I would not imagine that it would be very balanced.
Posted by cowofdoom78963, Jan 22, 2011 at 5:11 pm
I thought that CVS's lack of balance was a well known thing. What is CVS supposed to be anyway?

I've played it but I dont know what it is in relation to the normal version.

Be sure to get a belt of levitation. It is probably one of the most important items in the game.
