Can you imagine... If EVGA were to take all of their testing benches for RMA products, and fold on them when they leave for the day with GTX580s or GTX590s.  That could easily equal 16 hours per day of folding X 3-4 cards per bench X lots of benches.  And there are 2 weekends during CC, so we would have Friday @ 6PM - Monday @ 8AM straight of folding.
 
I can't image a better way to test RMA graphics cards and support our team at the same time EVGA staff.

Wow at the stat thing lol. Soo how much exactly do we need to fold to even break the 3rd place We would do better with less people? Oh man lol thats broken.  Fold on!

Its definitely better this time around. There was a lot of heartache and sweat that went into this formula, so hopefully the handicap isnt quite so unbalanced.

Everyone, the passkeys have beem made public. They are in the original post in this thread, down at the bottom.

I am most interested in entering this contest, though I am new to folding and appear to have some issues. My computer will randomly freeze while folding with cpu and gpu folding, but when I shut off the cpu and just fold with the gpu it seems to work fine. Where should I go to trouble shoot them. 

Make a post in the folding help section found here. 
 
Be sure to include details about your hardware, OS, drivers, folding clients, folding logs ect.  so that people are able to help you.

Hi guys, I can confirm that "Amnesty" will be the same as before (like last year).  Should you have any questions, please email or PM me. 

Also, We should be able to do a rotating banner. 

Please refer the above comment on the amnesty should anyone question it.  Remember, this is only given if you normally meet the point requirements (in prior months).

Thanks,
Rob

Wooo Whoooo! oh and... What will the Banner look like?

I just realized something terrible....

Not really LOL I just downloaded part of it.Whats a day or 10 just will make game better after a little longer wait when its on your comp.

Do we have an absolute finalized list of teams/team names? Curious as I'm looking at setting up my stats system for this to have another backup going.

In.

Last track I had it is everyone from last year minus MPC.

I'll go ahead this weekend and get my system up and running, then, in case anyone wants the hourly updated .xml I've been producing for the contests.

Well leroy finally got through to TSC. I tried but even with google translator on, I got lost on their site. They've been updated with the rules.

How'r we comin' on that announcement/enlistment thingy that EVGA is going to help us with?  I see that (as of today) OCN has 200 people already signed up and I think we are at ~53.  Not being pushy, just wonderin'...and hoping for some enlistment from spreadin' the word.

I was actually wondering that myself. I can start Pming everyone on EVGA myself I guess. That's a lot of typing...

I'll ask troy for the list

Do we have a plan of attack?  This morning I have a training session at work that will last all morning, but I will be free all afternoon and evening to PM.

Basically last year troy created a list of members sorted by PPD, and had a template for the PM. If he is unable to do that then I will try to come up with a list and a template as well. I would say each person gets assigned a certain block of names on the list. After you finish those then you get your next block assigned.

Sounds good.  I await my marching orders.

Sorry fellas, I've been out of the Forum the past 24 hrs and am just catching back up.  I was really excited to hear that EVGA might be sending it out for us since it is time consuming to send out all those PMs (5 people at a time).  I know, because I helped Troy (along with several other volunteers) do that last year.  Also, the distribution was limited to just people that Fold IIRC.  I was hoping that we could reach a larger portion of people via whatever methods that EVGA might have at their disposal. 
 
Last year, we also attempted to post a CC 2011 request for participation in some of the other (non-Folding) EVGA Forums and that was met with varied response.  &   I got a variety of reactions from "hey didn't know about it, I will help" all the way to "this is unwelcome, don't come in here and SPAM this Forum". 
 
Has anyone heard back from EVGA (Shane or someone) to see if they are able to help with emails or PM's?  I saw where they said they could do some sort of rotating banner for us and maybe that is all they can do...don't really know.  If the only way to get the word out to individuals is to use that same list we used last year, then so be it and I will help again.

actually I am still inviting people to join us from other teams
if you make friends like with basecampers, it can help strengthen the team and may lead to the addition of new permanent members once they get to know us.
 
Like we said we need to grow the team.
doing visits like base campers may be the way to go.... to build bridges
 
Im not asking people to go in cold turkey to forums in hopes a post will work there. What Im asking is make friends. join other forums, and invite them once they are comfortable with you.
 

I'll have time this weekend to help and PM team members, just let me know.
 
And I didn't see anything about a prize pool yet or will there be no prize pool this year.

prize pool is allowed as devdog said
 
I was running around so much in last few weeks I haven't had much time to do anything.
 
If your offering something let me know - I'll try to set a page up for it.
Still quite busy with stuff- keeping an eye on old man since he's been back from Hospital
but I don't have to run around so much anymore
 
Been nice to know My friends and family here have come to my aid and helped out on the CC. It gives me warm feelings to know how this team can add comfort and aid when necessary.
 

Well I guess my idea of mass spamming everyone won't work then? lol. Glad to hear your dad's out of the hospital, finally. Well if you guys want to do prizes we have enough time to set it up. It will be just for ourselves. As far as word from Shane or Rob, I havent gotten any. The trouble with the friends Ive made in the other forums is.... well one is Adak, another is from [H].

Try PM'ing them Shane or Rob.with what you want in the mass email. If they will do it it will only take them like 2 min.as long as they got admin priv.
