We normally recognise the completion of an epthatlon award with a congratulatory thread in the forums and a news item on the front page. It was therefore with much chagrin that I realised on the weekend that I had failed to do this for both Megalou and civ_steve when they coincidentally both completed their eptathlon awards in GOTM 50.

Both civ_steve and Megalou have been great contributors to our community - both in game submissions (nearly 100 between them) and in contributions to forums. Its great to see that they've now managed to complete their eptathlon awards.

Please join me in congratulating them both on this fantastic achievement - and I hope they can forgive me for not marking this event in a more timely manner (at least many others did in the GOTM 50 results thread!)

Well done, Megalou & civ_steve. :D

Congratulations to you both!

You deserved the epthathlon since long ago! Finally you done it!

Congratulation. :goodjob:

And thanks for the many posts and strategies. Always great reading. :hatsoff:

Congrats :)

Thanks a lot! All you fellow players make it worth something, contributing to the insanely high level of the competition. Whether my posts have actually contributed anything or should be considered to be self-indulgent gloating...? :groucho: A bit of both perhaps.

See you again some day, I'm sure.

Congrats civ_steve and Megalou.
And indeed well deserved and long overdue.

See you again some day, I'm sure.

Not going for a 4otm eptathlon then :p

:cheers: :worship: :jesus:

:cheers: :worship: :jesus:

You two have joined the great ranks of DaveMcW and SirPleb as two of the top 5 civ players on Civfanatics!

You are even better than :scan: !

Not going for a 4otm eptathlon then :pDoing so just doesn't fit in right now or in the foreseeable future, unfortunately. Bye and good luck! Never shave!

@D'Artagnan59
Thanks very much and good luck! I expect anyone can do it with the right dedication. There are so many good players out there.

:hatsoff:
Respect.

Congratulations.
You have both shown to be a grandmaster of civ.

Although I rarely participate in the XOTM games nowdays, I still enjoy reading the spoilers, and it's players that you that make it particularly enjoyable to follow. You both fully deserve the award; bask in the glory. :worship:

Congratulations! :cheers: :banana::xmastree: :bounce: Good job!

Oops; I've been out of town and just saw this thread! Thanks for the congratulations - it felt very nice to get the 'statue' off my back! :) This is a great gaming community, and I know I've learned so much from many people here, both on the eptathlon list and off it. Thanks, again!

Hey congrats to both of you! :goodjob:

Looking forward to founding the cities Megaloupolis and St. Steve in a future GOTM.

Congratulations
with your statue :king:

good job :goodjob:
