2013 Chimp Challenge Race Updates & Musings

[Robert17]

Thank you Pit Crew Folders !!!!!

 

[Adak]

Done, and thanks for showing how a linked image would update itself! Who knew?


We're settling into a great race tempo now: From EOC, at our 10 am and 1 pm update (EOC's Noon and 3 pm update - they're on Central time):

A great 2 M update, followed by

(drum roll please!)

an unreal 4 M update!!​

And just look at these Top 20 producers, to know why we're doing so well:



Astounding numbers! I've never seen such folding power from our top 20 group.

KGH - new highs for our newest superfolder!

Our Regular Superfolders: If they're in your rear view mirror - you're about to be hammered!

Sagar Rawal - new to our team - folds like a Typhoon!
Edward2 - welcome back! Had me worried over the weekend!
Pit_Crew - into our top 10 after only 2 days of racing?? Incredible!
Folding Addict - loves all things 4P!

thideras - when there's a race to be run, there's thideras to run in it!
Equinox - From TheRaptorPit (TRP) team, on vacation, folding in our top 20! Dude!
rabidusv - might be his first time in our Top 20! (not sure, been away). Well done!

Well done!

As for who's missing - first name is Adak!

I've been visiting other teams for awhile now, and just came back to a greyed out (inactive) listing on EOC. Won't be back into the Top 20 until tomorrow, since my average has to climb away from days of zero production.

Second name missing is ... ?

 

[Adak]

At the 2:30 pm update:

Top 3: in Millions of points

Name    Gap from us
====================
OCF   
EVGA           -2
VGT            -6

VGT has rallied up, despite our great updates mentioned above! EVGA and all the other teams, have shown very little movement, relative to any other team.

Fold! Fold!! Fold!!!​

 

[KGH]

yes, we need to fold harder to keep #1 spot. 2:5 killin' us .

 

[Adak]

3 pm update:

We're still in first place, by 2 million race points (roughly), VGT has fallen back to an 8 M deficit.


(This is a static pic and won't update) See post above, for one that will update.


CustomPC & Bit-tech is the only team in the race that has separated itself from immediate threats. Every other team has a threat, or IS a threat, to another racing team.

That makes for a fun race, any day!

Fold!!!​

I'm off the net for a bit as wu's upload, and some running around gets done.

 

[Anti-Painkilla]

Just realised that our old HTPC is sitting unused, replaced two weeks ago with a HP Proliant, so I will add an I3 with a 6850 when I get home from work.

After is gets a good clean out.

 

[Janus67]

Doing great guys, keep up the folding!

Here's hoping they add some more beta slots for us AMD folders.

Excellent!

5 p.m. update:

We have an IMMEDIATE threat - from both EVGA and VGT!!



If you have some folding power that COULD be added here - please add it now to the team.

I hear that, those 11xxx ones are a real B#$%^.

 

[bmwbaxter]

Love this race

 

[BrotherJohn]

My next dumps won't be for another 8 and 18 hours from now.
I got one of the dog units.

 

[kyfire]

Lookin at one in 4hrs another in just under 6 hrs on one rig
one in 10 hrs and other in 19.5hrs on other rig

 

[Adak]

I love it as well! Funnest thing you can do in folding, with your clothes on.

I just turned in an 8101 - it's the biggest/slowest wu, but it's way worth it. Unlike the old "Patty Melts" wu's from years past. They were ABSOLUTE dogs, and low ppd, as well.

 

[kyfire]

The 7624s are pretty good point units but slow too.

 

[Adak]

7 pm update:

EVGA and VGT have held their relative positions, behind us -- very worrisome! If you have some ANY untapped folding power NOW is the time to tap it!

OCN and HWC continue to fight it out on one level, while OCAU and TSC! battle on the next level down.

CPCBit-tech is out in no-man's land, neither in the top nor the bottom tier of teams.

TPU can't get out of the caboose, no matter how hard it tries, at the moment.



Our 9 pm. update on EOC (they use Central Time), was an OK 1.89 M. That's OK - but it's not enough to stay ahead in the CC.

We need MORE folding power!​

 

[warmon6]

If you have some folding power that COULD be added here - please add it now to the team.

This vid pretty much sums it up for me.

 

[wmdrauch]

I'm giving it all's she's got C'ptain...... Hopefully my 4p can get a nice juicy 8103/8104 on the next run....

 

[Janus67]

stupid 7647 projects take forever!

I added another co-worker's PC at work and will be getting an image on the stock PCs in the office tomorrow, should be good for 10k each I think.

 

[dragonhunter]

If you have some folding power that COULD be added here - please add it now to the team.

I will add another 4P soon

great job Adak!!!

 

[Adak]

Pretty much sums it up for me:

@warmon6:
I wish we had more teammates like you, buddy!

@dragonhunter:
Thanks for the kind words - and thanks for the extra folding power. I look forward to seeing the build description and pics when you get a chance. Folding Addict will do backflips and headstands for them, I'm sure!
