I just wrote a very long, very well thought text about the first confirmed player victory ever, how motivating this is for a roguelike developer, and what knowledge I gained from this regarding endgame balancing. I pointed out several aspects. Then I accidently pressed a mouse button that made my browser (Chrome) go back to the previous page -- and to delete my whole text. 
Now I want at least to share the player's character dump, because it's a historic document.
