Hm. I left behind a couple of viable trunk characters before 0.18 went live (including an effective zig raider DS). Does anyone know, are they lost?
Mark me down for a spot. I'm probably good for a win or two, but I have possibly the worst wins/deaths rate of anyone who has won multiple games, not counting bots.
Trunk is trunk forever. There's no essential difference between the patch called "0.18" and any other patch; the same thing has happened to your characters as happened when the 0.18-svn-beefbabe to 0.18-svn-deafb00b patch dropped.

Anyone can join (priority to any previous members of the SSS in any form), no skill level required; you just have to be willing to play (and die) a bunch. Playing for banners/the biggest mutation list is also acceptable.

Considering the amount of gear swapping that occurs in a regular game, fragile is really only a problem if you come across a ridiculously good item that you'd actually be upset about losing. In my experience the malus has never been balanced with something worth getting upset about losing.

I did it (though not during the tournament) under the same circumstances, it's awesome. Helps you move a bit slower, which for me at least is the biggest difference between playing well and splatting for stupid reasons.

Edit: Be sure to play nothing but Chei under those circumstances, for obvious reasons.

I haven't been following updates and whatnot since early 0.17 and am always interested in seeing the changes in the new versions. Poison Needle nerf is probably a good thing. New god looks neat. Abyss changes are welcome, and then there's this:

The idea is that they wanted to get rid of "swappable" amulets. SO no more switching to rMut when you see a malmutator, stasis when you see a paralyser, clarity when you see a confuser, etc. Most of the remaining amulets have some sort of penalty when equipped or removed to discourage frequent swapping, too.

They did significantly increase the amount of cmut in the dungeon to make up for it, at least.

They also kept rCorr as a ring, which is a much better slot for it honestly.
