Nice idea punchy 
 
but Id rather let the contest run it's course
not fair to the others still vying and it would mean making a mockery of the contest... NO MORE FUSS
 
and Im still waiting to see who pulls what rabbit out of the hat.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Punchy


I think what we should do is finish this second round and declare a team winner somehow (perhaps total points during the week, or from the start).  Honestly any bragging rights for this competition have been tainted by all the shenanigans anyway.

From then until the end of the month have a Monster Death Match(TM) pitting the two brackets against each other, no holds barred, bring everything you own.  With everyone (including Diplomacy) bringing all they've got I think that could be a pretty interesting matchup.

 
If thats what everyone wants, it certainly can be arranged.   At the moment this round seems to be relatively competitive.  Teams in 3 out of the 4 races are within 1 BigAdv drop of each other...

kewl...
it was really my intention all along to chilax after Thursday night.  now i'm gonna go for most total average ppd (since i'm in third place and producing already why not) and then i'll bring it down a couple of notches and re-tool for a possible grudge match. the only thing that disappoints me is that i wish that our REAL points would be shown rather than the handicap its such a drag.
 
i'd ask to have it removed and put back after the round, but i'm afraid it might spoil some diapers and nobody wants that.
 
for the record, the single biggest overproducer after me is at 825% which if i matched that would give us 3,934 contest points and this would put us ahead of the prophets' 3,692 with a difference of just 242. the next largest over-doer in the contest after that is beating their projections by 698% if i matched him, our score becomes 3692.5 with a margin of error that is too close to call. if we look at just the prophets, bowlinra basically is me, except hes producing 250ppd... how very suspicious. anyway, i'll leave it up to the prophets. if you want to push yourselves, pick one of those targets and go for it. otherwise, i'll leave it at 120ppd.

to date, i have produced 580cppd meaning that i would need to produce roughly 120 cppd (or 850 points total) to meet the 825% number. I WILL be shutting down the system tomorrow night. we will see if i decide to revive it for that last 2 days in march if we think we can get 750M or 800M. my 3930k is what i signed up for and its what i will continue on with.

Will the Prophets take the challenge?  You've given them the choice
 
Ok, I'll ask the question:  What is the 'err system?'  Please include any additional details you care to

My proposal is not so much to do with the closeness of any race but rather with the ethics of what it will take to win.  I'll follow up with a post in the main contest thread.

looks like i'll need to be satisfied with number 2... oh well...
take that werty!
 

I would like to apologize for contributing to the rash of bad sportsmanship in this contest, especially since it directly impacted this team.  In my opinion, diplomacy's points should not be omitted form your team total.  It is not fair since, once the handicap was removed, almost everyone started producing more than their estimates and no one else has had points omitted.
 
We should all strive to fold with whatever we can for the duration of the contest.

sorry prophets Im not going down this road again.
My decision is final - I went to the team capts and was shot down - Im not re-visiting.
 
No more hard feelings...
I don't want things to change because Im out of future contest or any one else is PO'd ..That's not fair either...
That would be like pressuring teams to change their minds or to change the rules
 
fold your hearts out for the 800 goal and for your team. GO TEAM EVGA
 
We'll stick to what been given to us both as a team and in decisions made during the contest
 
everyone made their bed, including me. It's over
 
if we make a stand Id rather make if for the right reasons.
 
if you get all warm and fuzzy on me I might quit for sure - and leave this contest early
 
As far as Im concerned We are in dead last and Id rather stay there
 
if anyone change things I'll definitely quit folding during the contest - that means the cap stays.
dip can still fold for the 800 if he wishes- just no extra points for the team
 

 

Well whatever the rules are let's just get back to folding!

that's what Ive been doing OP
nothing has changed
 
no more whining &
NO MORE MUSH - Id rather have ya MEAN and NASTY than have that
ya hear that everyone - now fold and get back to the smak talk in the chat box
 
ps: Did I just ask for a shykal whoopin?
OH God! please have mercy on me

As I stated elsewhere, FOLD FOR THE CURE!!
 
The more Work Units finished the better chance for that cure to appear.  Poop on the points, kill cancer and Alzheimer's.

Sorry people I admit I usually do NOT read the other teams threads, and focus mainly on our own. I personally feel that what I like about the contests is I can fold using my name, not effect what I would do normaly, and participate in an event. I try to guess my output, but fold no more that I could contest or no contest, all you got is all you got, and my electricity subsystem will not allow my other systems to run while these are. as such I don't care if we win or lose, because I am doing all I can do. I would vote we let people fold whatever they can, that's what I am doing. Admittedly I was a little off on my estimate, Imposable to be exact when stanford changes the point system, and you get the WU they give you. at the end of the day, I fold to fold, not to win contests. I try to do my 3-4 million every month no matter what. so I don't care one way or the other what they do with the rules. Keep in mind This is just my opinion.

Ready for the home stretch here ...

hey everyone!
fold your hearts out!
 
we need to make up some ground, but we are less than 100 points from 6th place. lets give the prophets a little competition and go down fighting!
(PS I have it on good authority that people who speak for Chuck Norris have, in the past not finished contests... i'm just saying ace's rig is already dead.)

Do what ya can guys...we have to work for it
prophets have a good lead
 
Even if we lose we put up good numbers for the right cause 
 
So FOLD FOLD FOLD....
 

Yama Yama Yama!  My rig is back from the dead better than before!!!!

OK 1 more day...It looks like prophets will take it
but there is no slacking off.
 
Im forgoing any gaming...and actually stabilized my new rig better again (PPD gain as well -not much )
 
for those who cannot afford it or have rigs down ...don't worry -
At least we go down trying to win
 
Just get all the teams to push - I want the 800 barrier broken
