Summary0012229: Ironman mode
DescriptionAn ironman mode (as e.g. in XCOM) that does only allow save & quit (as opposed to allowing the player to save and reload at any time) would be a great addition and in the spirit of the game's roguelike influences I think.

On the plus side, completing ironman mode could provide a significant score boost.

This one sounds good to me as well. It just isnt a proper roguelike if you cant have your save obliterated when you lose :D

For 0.926:

* Ironman!
** Added a new "Ironman?" toggle to the start-new-game menu. Its description:
*** Are you insane? Then Ironman may be for you!
**** When Ironman is enabled:
***** The normal pre-mission autosaves are not made.
***** The "Save Game" menu item is renamed "Save & Quit", and any time you save the game you will exit back to the main menu.
***** The "Exit Game" and "Load Savegame" menu items are removed (you have to save to exit normally, as otherwise progress would be too easy to lose).
***** After you load an Ironman save that save is deleted. If you use the filesystem to savescum around that we will send ninjas to your house to erase all the copies of the savegame (no, not really, ninjas are expensive).
**** If you are new to this game, and are wondering "Is Ironman right for me?", the answer is "No!". Please get familiar with the game first :)
** Thanks to... oh, all of you asked for it, and you're probably better off with folks not knowing you share in the blame for this.

Thanks :)
