A new COTM eptathlete....

[ainwood]

Looking at the COTM pantheon of heroes prior to this month, you may have seen three people who only needed a single award to complete the pantheon - and you may have asked who would be first. Well, you'd need to look past these names, to the names of those requiring two more awards to win.

By picking-up both the 100k cultural as well as the cow award in the same game, Obormot artfully leap-frogged the rest to register the 5th COTM eptathlon award in the GOTM. It was especially interesting / amusing to see him claim here:

I don't think i'll ever complete mine. Should have done the boring stuff (100K and cow) before civ4 was out But we'll see how it goes.

Remember folks, that was only 2 1/2 weeks before he submitted his eptathlon-winning game!

A fantastic effort, Obormot! Well done!

Well done! I wish i could get a victory, let alone an eptathalon. I'll just bide my time.

 

[PaperBeetle]

Well done indeed .
And a cunning ploy, to win late with a non-histo VC. Now that it is feasible to pick up awards by being the only player in a category, I guess we should see all milk runs doing this. I should have thought of it myself when I got the moo in the Spanish game - there was no 100k submission for that game!

An amazing way of get the eptathlon!!

Now you must retire...

It was just a matter of time for you, Obermot. And indeed those two goals tend to be time consuming!

 

[Redbad]

talking about grabbing a statue in style...

well done indeed Obormot (or should I say Übermot )

Congratulations Obormot!
Fine to see already 3 Russian Eptathletes here...
I can't play any games during nearest monthes but I hope I will meet you in Civ4 GOTM later...

No rudeness intended but what the hell is all this? epthlan, statue, award for what? Was this some type of contest? And yes i am a total noob but hey, we all gotta start somewhere. And congrats dude to the guy who won this thing.
