I'll be hanging out on the Folding M@Dness chatbox at 7 PM EST (GMT -5) if anyone that wants to stop by and talk about anything regarding the contest, folding, or life in general...

Ive been laid up all week but ill be ready for the contest. I might even spend some money on some new parts if something awesome happens.

Do you really need new parts?  Becuase everytime you start folding on your rigs, I get left behind in a gaint dust storm.

Hopefully you're not downwind of me.  Everyone downwind of here gets caught in a heatwave during contests.

From my point of view, I would say that I am very much upwind from you Mad.  A whole 6 Million points upwind.  Its Wrinvert that has left me in the heatwave.  Dang his GPU folding farm of infernio.

And if I hadn't been offline for 6 months, we'd probably still be stepping on each other's feet.  Unless I end up with foldable GPUs, I won't be able to catch up.

Dang!!!  My added Hardware is leaving people in the dust
if I continue to get good WU's at this rate I'll have NO ONE on my six(threat list) by this week
looking forward to 1.5M PPW (without QRB) if I can get it
lets see if I can slip into the bottom of the top twenty folders for a few days
 

someone gifted me a Pre Order of Bioshock Infinate on steam, and it came with a free copy of "Bioshock 1" which I already have so I added it to the gift list on this contest for my fellow folding friends

Are we there yet

Anyone want to draft me? I registered for the draft back when I turned 18, so it's about time it paid off imo

I signed up... here to help my Folding brothers in their quest for Madness (short trip ain't it? )

Lets see how long have I known Madrias... Yep short trip, I was there oh about a few years ago now.

How long do we have if we need or want to change out estimated PPD? You already changed my PPD but I may need to change it again if possible. Sorry to be a hassle. Been a bit since I have been folding. 

Register
 we can give you a few days to get an rough estimate
the contest starts in march
 

I also realized I might have done my Info wrong. My forum name is MikeKnight but i put in my email to login, which is Mlong18@gmail.com. Im not sure if that is a big deal of not.

I will do that. I need a few more posts first so I can send PM's tho. 

Just gonna lay it down now that Friday midnight EST (0500 UTC) is the final deadline for signups. I'll be getting folks into the system sometime between now and then, and will add the stragglers when I wake on Sat. Morning. So spread the word - If your signup timestamp is AFTER that time, unless it's like within a few minutes, you're gonna have to sit this one out.
 
Secondly, tanner2 and your 'A picture of Drougnor in the wild doing stats...', man, you told me those were for personal use, no one would EVER see them... ;-)
 
And yes, life has enjoyed poking me with a stick quite a bit lately, but it's fortunately mostly been an upward climb and not the downward slide I've bee seeing others hitting as a result. Amusingly, it's just getting busier and busier, which is a wonderful sign, employment wise. 
 
All that said, Let there be M@DNESS!

Will we be able to add to the prize pool after that time? I normally try to put something in there for all our folders.

Awesome thank you very much!

Looks like I'm stealing more bandwidth and uping the post count!  I've designed what I thought would be cool on a coffee mug which it seems folks really like!  So, I'll be making available two coffee mugs for prizes and with the following design:
 

Get those rigs ready - the M@Dness begins in just over 24 hours!
