Speaking of Wicked Pixie, this was her post on the Rosetta Team forum (at that time). One of the funniest posts of the year - but also motivational.
The Chimp Challenge was in progress, and the MPC'ers (MaxPC), were ahead of us, at that time: (they didn't stay there).
Cover the right flank !
OCF DC Team [T32monkeys F@H Division] have been battling MPC Simian Army for more than 48 hrs now. They are now encroaching into OCF territory. They mounted a classic pincher maneuver but Generals Torin3 and ChasR 2nd and 3rd Silverback Heavy Armored Battalion was there to meet them, supported by Lt. Gen. HayesK Macaque brigade; Air support provided by Computekinc.us Marmoset Air Squadron.
As of yesterday, MPC Simian Army has jammed our radars and landed 4 regiments of para-simians along our main line of defenses. It was a brutal fight! It came down to paw-to-paw combat when bananas were running low. Col. Harlam was calling in Broken Arrow over the radio.
I was left in charge with the artillery battery. Heck, I don't even know to operate this thing. No one left me the manual. I am just a Corporal in the Linguistics Dept. I speak German with a slight hint of Bavarian. Someone named Capt. Miller just told me to come with him to look for some Private. I grabbed my typewriter but he flung it to the ground and gave me a pencil.
I don't know what happened to him. Anyway, I start lobbing shells at Col. H's position. I think I damaged some equipment, specifically Specialist Lofty's Heatsink. Why would anyone bring a heatsink on a monkey brawl in a trench is anyone's guess.
Today the MPC Simian Army are threatening to cut off our supply line. We will not let that happen.
Your F@H Brethren needs the Rosie Armada to establish a blockade along the North Shore while we regroup and prepare for a very hard fight. Col. Adak has already cleared all the MPC SA mobile artillery along the shores. He bravely infiltrated their positions wearing a MPC monkey suit and took them out one by one.
You are now cleared to send in the Rosie Marines.
Help us reinforce our right flank. Your F@H brethren will bleed with you when the Rosie Armada prepares to take on VTC and MSU.
After the CC, we did have a rousing ▓▓BAT OUTTA HELL!▓▓ and the Rosetta team was all smiles.

LOL @ Adak and Warrior.
Having a war movie buff, who happens to <3 history and military channels, as a roomie finally paid off. What is so weird is that I hated those shows. Now that roomie is gone, I surprise myself watching those shows when I'm bored.
If I get inspired, I might do another for the next CC. Let's call it COD: Monkeys at War

Ah, "energy bills"- the scourge of the avid folder...
At one time I had over 12 machines in a 10x11 room until I finished my [computer]room addition, which is 3 times that size. IIRC, 8 or 9 were dual processor server boards(AMD-MP & modified Athlon-XPs) plus several single cpu rigs. The heat-load, the fan noise, the..."energy bills"!

Pete and Zim helped us win the Chimp Challenge folding race, in 2007, although Pete had pretty much relocated to Hardware Canucks Forum, by that time. We just didn't know what had happened to him until this last year.
If you mean the memorial folding team rush for Pete, that took place right after the last Chimp Challenge, in late May and June 09.

Nice! I love Adaks play by play from Wicked Pixie! funny!
I remeber when I first started folding for T32. Back when sno, myself, rpkole and a few others were tearing up the rosetta and seventeen or bust games under my old name jason23txlife. I still only have 1,300 ish points under that name maybe I will resurrect it just so I can make Adak's Biggest Climbers Folders list

.....when my pentium 3 would take a month to finish a WU
.....when I started folding after discovering how to OC my pentium 4
.....when the clients kept crashing and required constant baby sitting
.....when WEDO completed the first automatic installation script
.....when NIKHSUB1 was so high up in the standing I figured nobody would ever get higher
.....when WEDO said way back in '03, "Everybody starts with one WU, and everybody needs to figure out the finesse of setting up FAH. w00r to the n00b's, they are the back bone to our team."
