   That strategy will undoubtably win the game for you.
However, it will comprise a very boring game, as you said,
and you also will get a very low score.  In a game I just
played, I got a wand of wishing right off and got +6 plate,
+3 crysknife, and 3 potions of gain level.  When I saw scrolls
of genocide, I took care of annoying monsters that weren't worth      
much, such as R's, x's, and c's.  N's are too much fun, and
n's, D's, U's, etc. are worth too much exp. to be genocided.
The game wasn't a big challenge, but at least it was fun.
The real challenge will be to win as a Tourist or a Fighter.
 
Hack hint of the day: Search the close proximity of the m 
                      for the prize (no need for obj. detect)
Bonus hack hint: N's give random teleport too.
