[zenmaster]

Nizef put some serious work(play) in with the Enjoyable Deity Games. Awesome!

Congrats to zlither on a nice gold medal game and to MAGA for returning to high level play!

Kudos to vadalaz for some amazing sub-200 Deity Science games, one besting an impressive Blatc sub200 masterpiece.

Also, perhaps this update should be stickied to replace the old update in the stickied section?

Thanks for noticing. I have played like crazy for the last two updates to finish my VVV. But now it is done and it feels good!

I would also like to congratulate vadalaz for his superb finishes!!

Yeah, Nizef, you sure did finish your VVV. Right into the Top Ten! Good job by you!

 

[zenmaster]

Wow, did not see a notice you finished the VVV.

Congratulations!!

 

[aafritz17]

...did not see a notice...

Hey, if this is a thing, I don't know about it! (If necessary, read that as a question!)

 

[vadalaz]

I don't know if there's anything like that on the HOF site, but Denniz used to announce VVV finishers in the second post of HOF update threads, for example here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/hof-civ5-update-discussion.560213/

Congrats to Nizef on finishing VVV, and congrats to all the medalists as well.

Ah, that's on me then. He must have done it manually as it doesn't come out in the automated update notes. I'll keep in mind for future updates.

 

[Zlither]

Congrats to zlither on a nice gold medal game and to MAGA for returning to high level play!

Thanks!

Wanted to win one gold, even if it would eventually disappear.

But you, vadalaz, Nizef, Maga and the others are far more impressive.

 

[aafritz17]
