T32 EOC WIR: 2x2billion. WOOT! WOOT! Fold on!

[don256us]

I don’t have much in the way of preamble today. Two guys just earned 2 BILLION so please try to be more like them. Oh, and don’t forget to congratulate them on such a great milestone. Some other great milestones listed below too.

Winter cold around the Country has resulted in some deaths on the roads so please be careful. Remember, you can stay warm by firing up more folding rigs too.

Team Conquest/Threat List

PC Games Hardware	3.6 weeks	down from 1.9 months.
banano	2.0 years	down from 2.6 years.
Element AI Inc	2.1 years	down from previously unknown.
Heise Falter	2.7 years	down from 2.8 years.
Megware	2.9 years	up from 1.6 years.

What we see a lot in this table is teams that are coming close to over-taking us and yet they fall short. Yes, since the pandemic, we have lost a spot or two but we have had dozens of teams chasing us down. We are strong and we are steady. Those who wish to take our spot must prove their worth on the field of… well… not battle but of science calculations.

Hmmm…. I’m looking at you. You who is no longer here so… I’m looking to an empty space where you should be. Imagine that scene in Ferris Beuler’s Day Off.

(You can stop watching at the :45 second mark.)

We hope that you are well and will check in so that we don’t have to hear from your boyfriend’s sister’s brother’s girlfriend whose friends with some guy who knows a kid who saw you pass out at the tastee freeze or something like that.

We see WhitehawkEQ holding on tight as suiters come and go. “Steady” is the key to long term success but that does not take away the value of a burst of points anytime you can get them. Heck, if I had a machine to use for a day or two, I’d do it. So never miss an opportunity to put a little fear in someone because you have a burst of “POWA”!

The table above is our top 200 In The WORLD. Some are no longer active with the team or perhaps with folding at all but they still earned a great place and we honor them here. Keep working on it and you too can earn a spot in the top 200. As of this writing, I’m # 405 and moving? Well, not really. It truly is difficult to get up towards the top. We just have to keep at it.

Build, Borg, Recruit.
If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.
It’s not how much you fold but if you fold.
If you fold, then you’re my friend.
Keep your stick on the ice.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Everything is within walking distance…. if you have the time.
SEND IT!
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Where ever we go that's where we will be.
“Make the noise!”

Please provide another cliché here.
Until next week…

My title is wrong. I don't know what's wrong with me. I had made the same mistake in the body of the newsletter too but I caught that one. It should read 2x1 Billion. 1 Billion is absolutely awesome. Congrats guys.

Congrats to the "stone's especially the Billionaires.
