[zenmaster]

Congrats to Keg on completing the VVV! I hope it has been as fun for you as it has been for me.

*******

Speaking of which,

I completed all the VVV categories early in the month. No notification last update, but I thought it might wait until the first of the month update... What gives?

Cromagnus was congratulated for finishing the VVV twice, and I can't get in the VVV news once?

Congratulations!!! We all have a target to shoot for

 

[vadalaz]

Oh wow, congrats zenmaster on both finishing the VVV and the impressive score as well!

Congrats to Keg as well, nicely done!

Sorry, zenmaster. We don't have a notification. I have to look at the table. I must have missed it. Congratulations!

 

[zenmaster]

Thanks a lot; it has taken me long enough to finish the thing-- the least the update script could do is acknowledge it .

---

I was going to do this in separate posts on each of the gauntlet threads, but I'll do it here to save space:

Huge congratulations to Mesix and Svinopes on being first time Gauntlet winners. No small achievement; Gauntlet golds are never easy to come by!
(Didn't I just predict a month ago that Svinopes would soon be kicking our butts in the gauntlets?)
Extremely well played, gentlemen.

 

[Cromagnus]

Congratulations zenmaster!

 

[Svinopes]

Congratulations to Keg and all gautlets prizewinners! Thank you Zenmaster also. I understood sacred sites strategy from his savegames which i was loading earlier

 

[Peets]

Yay a medal

 

[Bleidraner]

Zenmaster you are the master! Well done man! Great results and just goes to show how much a versatile player you are! Keg, way to go! Another player to look up to!
