It has been clearly stated by the Chimp Challenge Captains that you are not to pause WUs and restart them at the beginning of the competition.

That certainly seems appropriate.

Unfortunately our captain hasn't posted in this forum since April 17 and may be stuck in Europe due to the volcano.  Do you have a link to anything that might be considered an agreed-to list of "rules"?  All I have seen so far is the starting time and number of points needed to complete the challenge.

So far only Harlam (Captain of overclockers. com) has posted the rules
http://www.overclockers.c...howthread.php?t=641531

While I agree on the not stopping clients for a few minutes to dump them after the deadline, I think you misread mmillions post.
What he was trying to say is that by shutting down a client in the middle of a wu, doing a configonly and changing the username/passkey the restarting, the wu will be credited to the new username. I´ve seen this whilst priming the passkey

It was decided on in the CC captains forum (which I can not link), but I can give you this:


Challenge Infractions:
No pausing of WU prior to start time.
No sabotage of WU Bonus using another teams name - it only hurts the project.
No helping other teams win after your team has finished.

Thanks mortimersnerd,
 
I'll be sure to get the rules out and posted so everyone knows.

That doesn't have any rules such as mortimersnerd listed - it's just the criteria for the contest.  The actual rules need to be posted in public in places such as that thread for them to be effective.  Mr. Snerd, I hope you will take this comment back to the secret captain's forum.

I will be writing harlem about the rules so we can have something official to post thta all teams are going by

Awesome man , Report back when you know anything.

When does this start? im run my 280's :)

may 5th 12 pm pst

s7icky, you know that's a great idea, but I'm  not sure the c2qs will complete anything if they are just running during the day that would qualify for bonus points.

s7icky

im gonna try to talk my teacher into letting me run the lab during the day i think theres 40 or 45 c2q's

Whats the user name and i saw something about passkey? For the bonus points? where can i grab that?

doubtful that you would get any bonus points just running through the day on a c2q. The standard smp would be a better choice, It would take a couple days to get the WU's done, but we appreciate any and all contributions. You will not need the passkey if you run the smp. Just put in team 111065 and username EVGApes and you are good to go. Thanks for your help. Hope to see you here more often.
Just out of curiosity, where do you go to school that has 40+ c2q computers? Is that a high school computer lab?

I have chosen to leave that one out as to not give anyone some malicious ideas. Anyone doing so will know that it is wrong, I do not believe we need to bring that to the attention to everyone. On the other hand, based on some very rough calculations, it will take somewhere around 1000 bad WUs/day for EVGA or OCN to go below the 80% mark. I don't see this as a realistic threat. 

Fair enough, that makes sense.  Plus, such a person if discovered would have poo flung at him from all teams. 

Speaking of which, your chimp better duck - poo is being flung from directly below him
