People who makes sacrifices to Kali... Indiana Jones would be so ashamed of you. Did Short Round Teach you nothing?
They, like you, are trapped in this terrible maze. I like to believe that after each death, you get a few moments of peace that screaming for help in the mines doesn't afford you. By sacrificing them to Kali, I am doing them a favour.
And besides, when you rescue a damsel, where are they going? There doesn't appear to be a way out in those little tunnels between levels. I dunno, maybe Tunnel Man gets them out.
Yeah, you're technically taking the damsels deeper into the mines, but I like to think what they're really scared of is the enemies, and the little in between levels where you get your score is probably the safest place they can be at that point. And yes, maybe Tunnel Man got them out.

Tunnel Man took my shotgun away from me
I am pretty sure he took all those damsels out behind the vault shed if you know what I mean

With all those bombs and ropes and weapons? Dude is Ash Williams-ing his way to the surface, like some sort of....pied piper of booty.

My 1-23 run ended in unmitigated disaster on the snake level - hopefully I'll remember to post it here. Everyone else should post their runs because I want to see how people did on this seed.
I decided to do the mothership level on this seed (no idea why, I hate that place), and promptly died to a ufo/bomb combo.
Due to the incredibly crappy nature of hotel internet, I was disconnected at some point in my run, and Spelunky doesn't count your run if that happens, so instead of ~400k, I have 0.
I hate that shit. It should just be able to store it on the system and upload it to the internet the next time it connects.
Lots of times I'll put my Vita to sleep because we have a diaper emergency or something and when I come back the Vita has disconnected because I paused the game. My 7:45 run, my $475K hell run... Neither got uploaded for that very reason.

You can watch mine here. I've been trying to export it to youtube but for like the past two weeks, exporting from twitch to youtube has been terribly unreliable. http://www.twitch.tv/r0bes/c/3597727
Should make you feel better about your run Mine was pretty bad.
01-24-13 My run-that-was-going-really-well where I die because I tried getting some fucking ropes I decided not to grab in the first place but then I said "why not".
Managed to pull in a little over $1.1 million in today's daily.
Had a bit of a rocky start and ran out of time before I could ghost the vault in the mines.
Also lost the Ankh in the Black Market, but grabbing the plasma cannon from the Mothership brought me in lots of cash for pretty much leveling 4-1 and 4-2 into nothing.
I died in the end to the kickback from a plasma shot in the wrong direction, sending me flying into the Ghost.
It's a long boring run so not sure it's worth the upload. I might just put it up from the temple on.

I actually cleared out the snake level entirely for 1-23, with a climactic rope+bomb escape from the ghost that I was very happy about.
Died in 2-1 by getting brushed by a tiki trap and then bounced into another one and dying foreverrrr.

That sucks. I've had it happen before with a high score a couple of weeks ago.
When I exited the game I saw steam was offline so my connection dropped at some stage during the high score run.
Booted back into the game and no record of the score.

I uploaded my video of my 1-24 daily challenge without watching any of it, only to find the sound had some weird and loud crackling going on. I decided to re-upload it with the sound muted and some music from my collection to accompany it, and now it's been "processing" for the last 3 hours. Maybe it'll finish, or maybe it'll be in processing limbo forever!
Anyway, in a non-daily run today I finally made it to the city of gold!
Proceeded to die right after freeing the golden character. I didn't even see how I died at first. The dude's coffin was behind a wall with an arrow trap in front of it, so I threw a bomb up there. After it exploded, I noticed my character drop dead and a broken arrow next to him.
I want to believe the golden dude went on to defeat Olmec for me. He took my shotgun, at least.
Today, I made it to the Hell stratum for the first time, but died before I could get to Yama. And then I did the 2014-01-25 Daily Challenge and put up a fair performance.
Oh man, I was so close to getting to Olmec last night, but I died for some stupid reason I don't even remember. Doesn't matter much, as my score was pretty low because I was doing a key run (which succeeded!).
Here's another Spelunky Says Fuck You moment from my latest run:
I did not want to piss off the shopkeeper this early, but I wanted to buy some bombs. In the end, the spider died at the expense of an angry shopkeeper, but he fell on some spikes and it all worked out.
Check out that awesome and wholly unnecessary and stupid arrow deflection a little after the 1-minute mark, especially since I could have used the rat.

I love how you just toss the rat away as if to say "I got this!"
I tried something similar too in my daily, but it backfired

All of the player characters in this game are super well designed. When I look at the leader boards, I never say, "Ugh, why would you use them?" They're all treasures.
Day 23: I learned that unless I am going for a high score run, I should not bother with the mothership level if I am going for a hell run. The plasma cannon gets unfortunately discarded in order to use the scepter, so there's not a whole lot of incentive to get it and use it for 1 or 2 stages imo. Unless you have a jetpack and can breeze through the mothership level. I died in the city of gold something I dont remember
Day 24: Since treasure shrines and sacrifice shrines were so close to eachother, Kali got really pissed off at me due to 3 boulders demolishing three of her temples, and proceeded to shackle me with a ball and chain. I didn't even know this was possible. Fumbling my way into 2-1, I saw another kali shrine, and proceeded to sacrifice everything I could findto get back in her good graces. Unfortunately, the ghost came and well, I wasn't nimble enough with the ball and chain to avoid going poof.

As far as I know, the only way to get rid of the ball and chain is to have climbing gloves on an ice cave stage and let the ball drop off the bottom of the screen while you hang on to the wall.
By the way, if you piss Kali off even more, the ghost starts appearing at he start of every level, making Olmec unwinnable because the ghost kills you during the opening cutscene.

I've never done it myself, but the Spelunky Wiki claims that the ball-and-chain can be crushed (for example, by dropping a block on it or having a Thwomp stomp it).

Given that there's a 99% chance I'm going to die in the mines anyway, I'll put my faith in Kali.
With regards to today's daily, I don't even remember how I died.
I think the game is driving me delirious. Pretty sure it involved shopkeepers though.
Also sent out some invites to those of you not on my list.

A somewhat promising run derailed by mistakes made in the Black Market.

Sorry, but I think nobody can see the video, since YT is a POS and all you're gonna get is a "An error ocurred".
Edit: Video's working now, yay! No idea why the preview looks like as if it was recorded off-screen.
