Looking through the CC Stats just now, I noted some items of interest (given concerns in the design-phase this years contest). One of the concerns was that if we had a straight-up race to see who could generate the most points that EVGA would run away with the title. Based on last year, that was a valid concern, but things can and apparently do change. Looking at the most recent stats, we would be in 3rd place behind OCN and T32.  I'm thinking AB's idea to also have a category for who could churn the most raw CC Folding Points would have been OK for this year. At least it would have given us something additional to work toward and some healthy, fun, competition. The "Growth" category looks like it is giving us some "monkey-bites" based on our inability to come close to last year's performance. This is why "sales-guys" often fear those "stretch-goals". You have a remarkable year, get a stretch-goal based on it and then fail if you can't beat that performance the next year.  I still struggle with the whole conversion thing being good for CC. I get why people want to use Chimp names, but it would be so much simpler if we didn't have to PM everyone or try to reach them via email. I also wonder how many team members aren't participating because of the forced name switch. Not trying to rehash any debate or poll, just wondering. At least for our Team, we are pretty spread out and even reaching the majority of the EVGA membership seems a daunting feat to accomplish. I don't know what percentage of our Team even come into the Forums, but I'm guessing it is not anywhere near a majority looking at active posts. Just thinkin' out loud and really not trying to make any hard and fast conclusions on any of this stuff.  What say you?

Due to some major pc issues I am out of the running. I am about to get everything sorted out. With that in mind I am going to sell off my X58 stuff. I am also going to add some ram to the prize pool. Sorry to let the team down.

Last time I looked we were being beaten by OCN and T32Monkeys in Chimp Folding Points. If you are talking about total team production - that category is completely dominated by EVGA. But it is also a category that is completely uninteresting. We outproduce these teams 24/7/365 and that is reflected by the fact that we outrank them in the overall standings. We don't need to remind ourselves or other teams of that - we know that (for the moment) we are the #1 folding team. texinga

You have a remarkable year, get a stretch-goal based on it and then fail if you can't beat that performance the next year.
We were much better organized last year in engaging folders in the contest. Year over year, Folding Madness saw production grow by 30% whereas the Chimp Challenge is experiencing around a 30% decline in production. So its not that we can't put up the numbers if we wanted to. We have two completely new captains this year, and shorter time frame to work with. I feel that as a team our organization was not as strong as last year's, and certainly not as efficient. Personally, I have not received a PM regarding participation in this year's contest. texinga

I don't know what percentage of our Team even come into the Forums, but I'm guessing it is not anywhere near a majority looking at active posts.
I strongly feel that the chimp name is an essential part of what makes the chimp challenge unique and fun. Just because there is a category that we do not have an advantage in, does not mean that we should abandon it. We certainly can do a better job of reaching out to current and new members if we put our minds to it. In reality, at the time the contest started all we did this year was create some forum posts in the folding contests thread. Last year we were at 60% through our combined organizational efforts of a large number of volunteers making it actually happen. This year, our strategy of 'sit around and wait for EVGA to do it for us' didn't work out so well. (Personally, I have taken a back seat in our organizational efforts this year and fault myself as much as anyone else on the team). I don't think that 70% is out of the question, though we would be hard pressed to reach 90%. texinga

Just offering my opinion as well. Either way, I got nothin but love for ya Tex.

if you didn't receive a pm from me troy is because I knew you were already in the contest. there are a few I remember that are in, this saves me a few extra PM's here or there just like i didn't send drougnor or devdog or myself one for the most part I did most of the PM's and almost all of them per page, except a few that wouldn't go thru after changes (to variances in names) and of course a few on each page I already seen in the contest. believe me pm'ing that many people(1400) takes time I see the main problem as the lead time and the lack of interest in members to check their PM's emails or log into the forums and gab with the family here just by visiting (once or twice a week to check in and check pm's could have helped). With the stickies and talk and banners...to me it seems quite obvious the team has lost interest in the challenge. either due to last years issue or the fight it was to pull this one off and YES I could have spent more time - but with family issues as of late things have me bogged down a little more. everyone should understand that people do get a jolt of reality every once in awhile. (no offense to you troy...you bring up good points...I didn't meet the challenge...but so didn't the team - the lack of interest in it) Im also learning how to set up a stats site, set up a donation form and prize list - and working on screenshot verification/qualification page (and no experience doing this - my first contest pages) thx goes to drougnor for his help there - his stats xml and some spreadsheet examples helped out(more interested in the scripts - that was the key). I figure with the amount of team leaders this group has we shouldn't have had a problem getting volunteers to get the message out or to help out. We have a heck of a team but I don't see the team spirit anymore. COME ON GUYS...WE CAN DO THIS. AT LEAST GET US TO LAST YEARS CONVERSION % I hate seeing the team BUMMED OUT...so get you monkey suits on and get back to slinging poo in the IRC chat and help out in the recruit. maybe another contest is needed to rally spirit??? spirit quest? create sub teams that visit other sites(like treks) and maybe bring in users from other teams? and lastly EVGA let us down. the support folding. we have member of evga that fold for us. all we needed was a simple email blast...get everyone..new and old...folder, non-DC, cruncher since we have the anti-spam making it tough for pm to be sent out and they have the correct user names (if i go by folding name they aren't the same all the time). for us to get the correct names we would have to go thru the member list..and if one does that to get names - that doesn't guarantee a pm getting to them email blast does (marketing blast) not the best CC we had, and new team captains,new formula, lack of lead time. PS: thx to everyone for understanding my predicament lately...another day at the hospital...just lovely anyways nothing too serious - just more running around to get drugs, have to deal with more visits by nurses and more appointments. and of course run of the day things since the other parent is basically bedridden for a few days

Xavier Zepherious, Because of your (and others) huge effort and commitment to make this happen and to grow the event. I am adding the 2600k / motherboard prize (or paypal) even though we haven't gotten to 800 clients. I'm sure many of us appreciate what you do but don't say anything or help. I know I am guilty. Thanks Tank, edit, Thanks Desktop I wanted to let you know why my numbers would be zero for awhile

We don't need to remind ourselves or other teams of that - we know that (for the moment) we are the #1 folding team.
I was talking about the Chimp Folding points. If you look at Xavier's stats page, EVGA is #3 in CC Team Folding points given the fact that CC names are being employed. No, I wasn't talking about total team production from a total (non-contest) Folding points perspective. I know as well as anyone that we are still #1 in overall Folding outside of CC, but "uninteresting" or not, that also is slipping away very fast. To Xavier, buddy you were there in the early days working very hard for this Team (alone it seemed to me at times). So, we all owe you a big pat on the back and "thank-you" for stepping in to be the Team Captain from the beginning. Please don't feel that you (in any way) ever let us down because that is not the case at all. All the people involved in putting together this year's CC were extending themselves to varying degrees. There was so much going on having come off that very large March Madness contest and it seems to me that people needed to recharge batteries, but then came the prep-needs for CC. Breathers are important between contests (at least I feel that way) and needing to invest time in CC design right after MM was just very close quarters. Anyway, you were "cheerleader", "negotiator", "status reporter" and more for this year's CC. Stand proud bro and be counted!!  In case anyone reads all this and thinks EVGA is complaining because of our #6 standing, just to be clear, I am not. I'm actually pleased to see the T32 Chimps doing so well and truly wish them the best in holding onto the #1 spot. Given our contest design that was agreed upon, they are rightfully winning in my mind. I'm just trying to reflect a bit on what is happening in this year's competition with EVGA and hopefully will understand how we can be better prepared for the next CC. If we don't talk about it now, then old father-time comes around, memory fades, we all move on to other things and then CC is upon us again in 2013.

Well, crap. I'm dead in the water till I get a new HDD. SR2 disk failure, that just killed 70k. Can't hold down the fort with the GPUs now, but I'll leave some stuff going.
At this point, I'm pretty much unable to move. BIOS won't even see my old Western Digital disk.
Time to change my fund for a new 580 into a fund for a pair of frigging SSDs at the rate of old drive failures I've had. Should only take me 2 years to save for 'em.

Pfft, more bad news. I have to send my case back, probably RMA it, because of some defective USB port. My computer will be offline for a while until I figure out a way to put the components in a safe place, away from the reach of the two cats I have.
put some barb wire around the sides of a large table, that should keep them off 
Easy to talk :) I'll post a picture of my cats and the new case :D The HDD is struggling and making a lot of noise for some unknown reason. It worked like a charm in the other case... I've resumed folding!

The 280k was on Sunday, but there's yet another 485k just for today. Doesn't appear to be fixed yet. There's no way to figure out which client, right? One unit today for 230k+, so they're at least folding SMP on 16+ threads with -bigadv flag.

You brought up good points texinga. And the rest of you. I cant help but feel like I let you guys down here in the last week or two but i honestly have lost all free time. I shouldve sent out pms long before this though. Thanks Xavier for working on a stats site. I was already trying to do that as well as something for the verification but you beat me to the punch. Texinga, I have no idea if Im going to be or if I will even want to be captain for next year but one of the main things I will be pushing for is to get rid of the CC names. Next year we do need a bigger lead and Im anticipating that we will have it. Why? simple, we arent trying to rewrite the formula next year. Anyone who complains about it now is just being sore that they lost. The biggest issues we face for 2013 is CC names and possibly moving the CC to the fall. This leaves us plenty of time to recruit. I think we need to be a little more annoying to EVGA as well. I very politely didnt bug the crap out of Shane about the emails or the banners or try to contact anyone else. That was my fault. I think we need to remind EVGA a little more strongly that this is just as important as the rest of what they work on. EVGAFolding@ home has some of the most die hard supporters and customers of the company. Not only would they make their support happy but, its a almost a charity effort. Its comparable to a company supporting the cure for breast cancer or something like that. I imagine many of them realize this but I think maybe they get so busy they forget about the fact that the CC is an important part of the folding community. That being said, I shouldve trusted myself and started the pms on my own a long time ago. Another thing to consider is, if people see that this CC goes well, maybe we'll gain back some of the lost interest.

I know that seemed a shame to me as well. You would think that the top folders for the team would be more interested in the team. There's something else of interest that I noted. pcmaster00 is still folding under his name. There are current points for today. I dont know if its a mistake or residual points or what, but he told me all his rigs were switched over. ive been meaning to ask him about it. Its nowhere near his full production which makes me wonder if he forgot something of there is something he couldnt switch over. Im sorry to hear about your family by the way. Hopefully things get righted soon and stay that way.

 we just had a power outage lasting a wee bit over an hour. Luckily nothing broke down, and all my bigadvs have picked up where they were interrupted . One is currently uploading. Final round for each, then they´re running vanilla smps.

I cant help but feel like I let you guys down here in the last week or two but i honestly have lost all free time.
Don't beat yourself up, devdog. You didn't let me down. We all know (and are grateful) that you spent a ton of your own time and effort to even make CC happen this year. Thank you so much for your contributions to the CC! We need to evaluate each year's rules and team tactics, find the positives and negatives of both, learn from our successes and failures, and try to find a way we as a team can do better the following year.

I know it's not much, but I finally got the SR-2 up and running agin on Monday. It'll be finishing up a bigadv tonight sometime. Then I'll have to see what else I can get out of it for the remainder of the contest.
@XZ hope everything is ok up your way. And thanks for your work.
@DD51 Thanks for all your time and work you've put in so far.
Thanks to everybody who helped get things done.

Yes thank-you for all you do; I didn't expect us to win; and after lastyear, the turn out was better than I expected. I am here to be part of the team, and to do what the group does, I'd be folding the same CC or not.

If our team is still predominately GPU-strong, then moving CC to a cooler season is a no-brainer for me. I have (2) GTX470s, a GTX570 and a GTX580 and none of them are Folding for CC. I just can't afford to run them and run my room temps to 90F+ when the outdoor temps are in the 80's. I'd love to unleash everything, but just can't do it. PS: +1's to all the "you guys (Xavier and Devdog) did an admirable job" this year. Just had to take the opportunity to say again how proud I was of both of you and what you did for the team. Winning CC would be sweet for sure, but being a healthy Folding/Crunching team is the real prize!

We should start on next year now. If we plan to, when, rules, ETC... While it is fresh in our minds... Just one thread, that we dabble in for the next nine months... Then it should give birth to a wonderful setup 
Do it...that's what I have been advocating too...your idea is better to have a separate thread for it.
