There's win limits? :K All that time wasted.

It's like a cap to points, to make it fair.

[Morningstar]

What's very cool about the Tale of Woe stats is that you can look up other players' stats. So I looked up a few friends' stats and got uber depressed because one was around to do the digs (and looks like he got two trophies for them) while I was off Neo during that time period. Oh well, I will be happy if I get an av and sidebar (if they give them out) and any sort of trophy that shows that I did try. After all those potions were murder. Anyone who got those should have jewels dropped at their feet.

[mogster500]

I don't think the trophies are "real trophies". Just for that page.
