Games with 500k+ points only

This list only includes games which ended with at least 500,000 points. It's a fairly comprehensive list of the different ways for even the strongest characters to perish in NetHack, many of which fall in the YASD category. Currently roughly one half of the characters which have reached 500,000 points have ascended.
