I didn't want to thread jack any more so this is what my idea is.
As you all know SETI will be going thru some changes and the servers at Berkeley will be down for a while. During the downtime there has been discussion about folding during the downtime. Here is my propopal to the SETI team and a thing that the folders should do before this happens.
I propose that the OC SETI team all fold for team 32 during the downtime and we should get a sub-team to differentiate ourselfs from the "real" folders. For a long time SETI and folders on this forum have been in a silent cold war for processing power. I believe that this is the golden oppritunity that we all have been waiting for. Therefore,
I also propose that there should be a friendly race for the 4 month'ish period that SETI will be down to finally see which team has more processing power and also to increase team 32's standings. Not only will this friendly race promote more WU's for team 32 but it will also help to findout which team has more crunching power.
This is a friendly proposal. We are all here to crunch or fold for the team OC. I propose this idea to help spawn a sense of teamwork and comradory betweeb the two teams.
This idea will not work unless both the SETI and folding team work together. Folders need to help create a little subcategory somewhere to differentiate SETI from Folders proper. Therefore ALL SETI members should changeover to folding to help our "other" distributed team. Only the two teams working together can do this. Lets try and make the downtime and exciting. What better than to boost our folding friends with the wasted cycles of our rigs?
One final challenge, We would need a name for this sub-team of SETI psychos...Any suggestions post below.
I'm looking to see if there is interest in this idea by the team. Please post any ideas, suggestions, comments, flames, whatever you'd like to contribute. Thanks in advance.
