DeathOnAStick
DeathOnAStick is a NetHack player. He (assuming that DoaS is male) is famous in the NetHack community for his year-and-a-half-long game on nethack.alt.org, from 2004-04-17 to 2005-11-27. He spent much of this time polypiling rocks into gems and collecting pet giants to carry the bags of gems for him, since there were so many.
After killing the Wizard of Yendor on dungeon level 1, he found a potion of gain level from the death drop. He drank it without fully identifying it first, finding out it was cursed.
Upon reaching the Plane of Earth, he desperately checked his inventory, and indeed he was carrying no gems. At this point, he went idle for 38 seconds. A few of his entourage of giants had been close enough to be dragged into the Planes with him, but they were either killed off or left behind at the inter-plane portals. The only gems DeathOnAStick had at his ascension were 2 dilithium crystals.
DeathOnAStick is currently at it again.
