i love this game, even if my high score is 315. :P
Also, Zin the Law-giver gives you really much stuff.
that's what i started with:(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2118/zin.png)
You can make xom's opinion better by getting strange mutations, killing monsters, wearing cursed stuff, etc.
That keeps him from getting bored, but it doesn't necessarily make his opinion of you better.
I hate when games uses keys out of the alphanumerical keys. (< and >? What that hell?) also, Y doesn't seems to work.
Use the keymapper if you hate it that much?
edit: here's a screenshot of the tiles version, with the added bonus of it being hilarious if you've actually played the game.

a bit too complicated)
My 5 best scores:

My Dwarf fighter got overwhelmed by my past best score... Kinda literally.
Also MSPA fans, notice the score of position #2 ;)
(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o240/francisco123123/Lolcage.png)
the two runes from Swamp/Shoal/Snake (forget which one was missing), the golden rune (Tomb), the silver rune (Vault), the iron rune (Dis), two demonic (Pan) runes, all the unique Pan runes (though I only actually killed Lom Lobon), and one other which was either the icy rune (Coc), bone rune (Tar), or abyssal rune. I could've easily gotten the slimy rune but I didn't feel like it.
And I've never managed anything close to a streak, so your win impresses me to some degree.
I prefer Tiles over console. It's more that I like using the mouse, though, not out of a perceived need for GRAPHICS GRAPHICS GRAPHICS. Also, I rarely play online because my Internet connection is very poor and routinely gives me unbearable pings.
I managed a 15-rune win today. Granted, it was with one of the easier combinations (sludge elf transmuter). Also, I left all of the unique Pan and Hell lords alive, except for Antaeus and Mnoleg. It was with an 0.8 development version, but I can't think of anything about that which would make it significantly easier or harder - maybe absence of ghosts, but I've never died to one of my own ghosts since 0.5.

Amusingly, I had to fight one Pan lord to pick up my runes peacefully, only for another one to appear one turn later.
I was in lich form for Tomb, all of the Hells and most of Zot, plus the orb run, but not any other branches.
