What's the the cow emote?

Post by bittersalt123 »

What's the story behind the cowhax emote on ESOC? Was there a problem with people hacking with cows back in the day?

It's before my time, but it has something to do with Interjection who popularized its usage because aiz did cow strats or something and he's the most entertaining player to watch. Meme was then born.

@Aizamk correct me if I'm wrong, but there was a meme for a while about how the cow treasure was the best treasure in the game and basically instant win gg. I believe this was carried over from 8 player obs games on Vanilla with Aizamk. Basically the meme just eventually became associated with Aiz (much how he's an elifent now), and Interjection would say it all the time.

I also remember dueling cows with villagers in games vs Aiz all the time. Good old days of villager assassins, miss those.

I have a memory of a YouTube video of Aizamk vs someone where every unit and building on the map turned into cows at the end of the game but I can't find it anywhere.

Yeah, that was also vs me. He built in some kind of command into one of the early versions of the observer UI/map that allowed him to do that.

I remember that map Aiz made "ibeataizamk" command was funny lol. Does that map still exist it has been forever since I've seen it.

I remember a game where Aizamk got a cow treasure and his opponent just resigned immediately. Good times indeed.
