Highlighting the February 3338 Birthday 1 KotM
Ah. Birthday festivities. A long celebration where those who were up and around could compete for prices and honor.
I was not among them. As the first unlimited climb were launched I was still in a hospital bed getting intensive muscle building stimulus.
Luckily some friends sent me get well Cards and footage from the match to while away the time. I did and saw the winners had been:
[Highest leveled Commander in Division]
- Div 1 [357] (14 Commanders): Dexter Berry, Warlock (6m,33s)
- Div 2 [284] (5 Commanders): John T Mainer, Spirit of Bunny(2m,49s)
- Div 3 [193] (8 Commanders): Mk, Matthews, Death`s Brethren (20m,41s)
- Div 4 [149] (12 Commanders): George Warren, Northwind Dragons (46m,40s)
- Div 5 [121] (10 Commanders): David Sifford, T.B. BlackWatch (1h,45m)
- Div 6 [93] (6 Commanders): Eric Simard, HF: Dragoons(1h,56m)
- Div 7 [75] (9 Commanders): Brian Wilson, Smurf War Patrol (1h,36m)
- Div 8 [60] (8 Commanders): Carl Cash, Death`s Acolytes (16m,48s)
- Div 9 [41] (7 Commanders): Bobs Uruncal (22m,39s)
- Div 10 [35] (11 Commanders): Pat Kash, Karma (1h,39m)
- Div 11 [28] (7 Commanders): Valafar Dem, Borg (9m,23s)
- Div 12 [12] (2 Commanders): Kari Amee, Gear Heads (1h,41m)
Total Contestants: 99, Total medals claimed: 99 (of 180 possible)
Compared to the Quad Rainbow just before this first birthday event, we actually had a small influx of additional Commanders, six more showed up.
But nowhere near enough to claim all the Medals. Three Silvers and eighty Bronzes were returned for resmelting.
The last half-hour saw half of the Golds change hands, none were held as long as two hours.
Struggles for lesser medals were of varying intensity, as evidenced by the number of medals held for more than 30 minutes in this event:
.............Silvers......Bronzes
Div 1 ....3 of 4.........4 of 9
Div 2 ....3 of 4......…..N/A
Div 3 ....2 of 4.........1 of 3
Div 4 ....2 of 4.........6 of 7
Div 5 ....1 of 4.........1 of 5
Div 6 ....4 of 4.........1 of 1
Div 7 ....3 of 4.........3 of 4
Div 8 ....3 of 4.........2 of 3
Div 9 ....1 of 4.........0 of 2
Div 10 ..1 of 4.........0 of 6
Div 11 ..3 of 4.........2 of 2
Div 12 ..1 of 1......…..N/A
Five tops (Mount Olympus not among them) saw at least half the medals in new hands, while only two tops had no successful attacks.
No clan managed to claim more than one Gold each here. The sole unaligned winner was Bobs Uruncal on K9. Dexter Berry managed as the only Quad winner to secure a follow up Gold.
Bobs Uruncal have been around for quite a while. The first appearance in the KOTM annals was the July`17 unlimited where he secured a Bronze. Since then he have had infrequent Returns, and good sized absences where he probably have been on Pirate hunting. But he returned for the Birthday festivities and secured his first Gold ever.
Having reached level 41 he is probably based on Euphrosyne where a 15 Mech formation is standard.
He have a pretty big energy budget (66), favors lasers and Missiles, have some additional armor on the Mechs and can safely pilot a Megazome.
