Day 4, 5:30 am update:


Our lead has increased just slightly to 46.4 points!


We have been successful in attracting some fine folding guests from the mighty [H]orde ([H]ardOCP)! This is the team that everyone with multi-processor server boards, looks to for advice. Big

Our immediate goal has been to out fold EVGApes, in raw points, moving us up to a higher score on the Points category, and boosting us up in the overall score, as well.

It's working!

Here's a comparison of the last two updates from EOC:
(Times are changed to Pacific Daylight Time Zone)

 Name           1:00 am      3:00 am          Total
==========================================================
EVGApes          0.840        0.824           1.664 Million
T32monkeys       1.811        1.260           3.071    "

Sub-Total: 1.407 Million, in our favor! 

Overall, EVGApes still have the advantage of raw points over us, in the race - but we're gaining!

We have [H]orde folding for us? Wow!

So, yea, chances are we've already won the chimp. :3

[Adak]

Don't count ANY chickens until Noon on the 25th! Great having them and all our visiting racers, of course!


Rezasam1's wallpaper for the team's CC is brilliant! Guaranteed to make a gun-hater, choke!

[txus.palacios]

Yea, great having them!!

I just hope we win this one! :3

[ChasR]

Added 2 more C2Qs this morning.

I can see it now.....

Fried Green Bananas the Movie.

49.9 point lead WOOOOOT. doin great guys but we need to keep pushing for more

**edit** we need to keep recruiting though to depress OCN's growth score and to bring up our conversion a bit

[tuigi69]

We might want to slow down our onslaught. Otherwise we are setting our bar REALLY high for next year. Besides, we still want to make it LOOK like a competition (secretly knowing that we have this in the bag) rather than just completely crushing our competitors hope (false) of winning. . Keep our extra (secret) recruits on the sidelines and bring them in when needed.

Remember, we have a lot of 4p coming in and it takes a day or two, before the full impact of the additional rigs hit (takes slightly over a day for a 4p to complete a bigadv wu).

Like I've been saying....

Sunday. That's the day of Demoralized opponents.


However OCN will be one pain in the ass moving forward.


Remember it's not the Size of your Banana that matters in the Chimp Challenge but it's the way YOU peel it that makes the difference.

OOOH now THAT would be awesome on a T-shirt. BTW, what ever happened to our Team 32 t-shirt idea?

[rustyfender]

i think this T-shirt would be better can put Team 32 on the back of the shirt. your right about the tactics. we dont want to show our hand to early and give them enough time to react and have it take effect

We have an entire week + 5 hours of racing left. Please, don't ease up! Race as fast as you can. You can't tell how the rest of the week will shape up. All we have is NOW, and NOW we need to race as fast as we possibly can.

You don't just get your opponent riled up in a race, and then slow down so he can run along with you -- oh no! When you get the advantage -- that's when you run your hardest!

[I.M.O.G.]

Yup, still a lot of untapped potential on OCN - they are having trouble contacting their top boincer (84th in the world in boinc, that seems pretty good)... If they connect with someone like that and bring him over, or maybe a couple slightly smaller guys, thats all it takes for them to be right back in things.

They have a lot of people, and a lot of connections - there is a GOOD chance they rebound yet. We are running nearly flat out, our conversion and growth has been so good, I can't really imagine where we can really punch it from here - we have called in all favors, and recruited our best. All we can do is keep at it, and keep the pedal on the metal.

Day 4, 7:30 am update:


Our lead is now 50.7 points!


Barely any change this update.

The rest of the teams positions, have not changed, and they don't appear likely to move - very static.

Does that include your new rig Tim, or is that not built yet?

That includes the E5 2650 / Asrock X79 rig, and my 'older' 2600K / X58 machine.

I kinda wish that I had gone with a 2P skt 2011 build, as I'm just getting the P6900 WUs on the E5 2650 machine, rather than the "spicier" P6901/P6903 WUs.

It's always a trade-off between passion and rational, when spending $$ on folding hardware.

[Adak]

Definitely - and those are not cheap cpu's either.
