I'm curious about what can be done in this game. I've seen many super difficult runs and crazy strategies. It would be fun to collect those, and record who managed to do it. And, personally, I claim anyone who nominated their name here should be called a veterang.
There would be three categories - the first two are Super difficult runs and Super crazy strategies. Please report if you know something like these. The standard for this ranking is subjective, but I hope you all understand. The third is, a checkbox for VGT VT or Purist for different classes. (Because VGT Olympics thread is dead.)
I hope this thread motivates advanced players.
DIFFICULT RUNS
It should be harder than simply rainbowing everything in the game. The runs like only less then 5 people managed to succeed will be recorded, to say. Multiple people can record their name in one category, in temporal order. If you won something and you think it is harder than rainbowing everything (VGT Rat would be the most difficult one imo), please comment it. I'm curious that things like sniping the Avatar can ever be done.

CRAZY TRICKS
The inventer of an "insane" strategy should be nominated. Only one person (or, so-called the "Inventer") can nominate their name in one category. The strategy should be valid enough for a whole dungeon to win the dungeon with itself. There are some uncertain cases like Gob Assassin of TT (I'd mark it not). Please comment if you think a strategy is well worth be nominated here. As an exception, strategies that are only viable for Hobbler's Hold would be excluded.
