I finally won 3.0j for the first time (it's been a few months since
I installed this version).

There were no bones levels, but I found a couple of big shops early on.
I found 2 amulets of life saving, and I think (?) I got a third polypiling.
I also polypiled 7 Excaliburs, a ring of teleport control, a luck stone,
and lots of armor (including gauntlets of power).

Wishes: Helm of telepathy, cloak of magic resistance, 3 blessed scrolls 
of enchant weapon (I only had a +0 frostbrand and +3 Excalibur), 
3 blessed scrolls of enchant armor (to rustproof my armor), a blessed
scroll of Genocide (Liches), and something else (I forget what now).

Minor abuse:  Polypiling, kicking sinks, and donating to oracle.

Closest call:  I found the wand of wishing in the castle, but I had to
drop something to pick it up.  I dropped my food, and then wished for 
things.  But I forgot to pick the food up afterwards.  I then did the
mirror trick and found the wizard was far below me.  I decided to fall
through the trap door (to see how far away he was) but I left all my
food on the castle level [stupid, stupid, stupid].

When I got hungry, I wasn't worried -- I had lots of food [I thought].
I got weak and hadn't found any monster to eat so I decided to eat a
food ration. Surprise!  Plus, no praying in Hell.  I then frantically
ran through the maze looking for a monster or the way up.  I was getting 
faint just as I got near a monster (I forget what it was now, I think an
orc or something). I fainted several times and then killed it.  Before 
I could eat it another appeared on top of it.  After fainting several 
times, and killing several monsters, I finally managed to kill the monster 
(with a wand I think) and step on top of the pile of corpses before another appeared.  I fainted one more time and then revived and ate. (As other
monsters continued to attack me).

Ulch! That meat was tainted! (With all the fainting I'd taken too long 
to get to it).  I can't pray because I'm in Hell, but I have Holy water.
Before I can drink I faint (again!) and die...to be saved with my Amulet
of Life Saving.

I wasn't sure whether the Amulet would save me from a combination of 
starving, and tainted meat, but it seemed to.  I think I was still 
hungry when I revived though.  I put on my other Amulet of Life saving,
but managed to find fresh monsters to eat before I needed it, and 
returned to my food stash.  (Later on I found another AoLS in Hell, so
I had a replacement for the one I foolishly wasted).

I had all the intrinsics (I think) except for disintigration resistance.

Also, according to the monster kill list I killed the Wiz 11 times.  He stole
the Amulet once, but I got it back when he reappeared.
