U of T Rogue (utzoo.1165 followup)
We've used the same funny arrow bug -- the top score here was due to a
+7, +76658 arrow with the umber hulks genocided. I also noticed that
I didn't need any food on the way up, which surprised me -- another
winner around here had mentioned the need for a ring of slow digestion.
I'm wondering if that might be because the last thing I remember eating
was some fruit rather than ordinary food. The other possible clue is
that I got "a wrenching feeling in my gut" each time I went up a level.
I've only the one trip back up -- my top game was yesterday -- so I
don't know if that message always occurs.

P.S. The second-place score here was also due to a funny arrow; the
third-place score was due to him becoming completely invulnerable.
The fourth-place game was completely legit, as far as I know -- mugged
by a xorn after finding the amulet.
