This is in response to the guy who commits suicide on level 2 as
a tourist and kills his ghost as a caveman.  Not a bad ploy.  For
awhile I was restarting games as a tourist until I got enough tins
of spinich to raise my strength to 18.  Almost as good as your method.
The other thing is to keep restarting the game as wizard until you
get a wand of polymorph, then polymorph your dog into an umber hulk.
This is a wonderful ploy, as the big U will take on anything, even
shopkeepers, and never loses.

This is NOT cheating, as it uses nothing you couldn't normally do
in the game.

But....

It does make the game a little boring.  My latest stratagy is to
take a 'losing situation', that is, circumstances that my peers
think couldn't win, and turn them into good scores.  My current
effort is to nurse the speliologist (without that stupid refrigerator)
to victory.  It's not easy.

BTW, something that's making the game much easier for us experianced
hackers is the volume of inexperianced players here.  By the time
you get to level 20 you've killed maybe 3 or 4 ghosts, and have just
about as much heavy magic as you can carry.  Who needs to rig the
game with such a bountiful supply of deceased adventurers?

Anyway, there's more than one way to play the game.
