Woo Hoo, just hit 1.5 M points for the month. All time record setting here :)

It looks to be that at least 2 people are having low points days due to long WU's. One person on 0 I the Captain and our Co-Captain know has been having computer trouble and they are trying to sort it out though I have PMed them to see what is happening, And the other on 0 has been PMed also to ask what is happening.
 
To the rest of the team, COME ON FOLD like loons on the run, dropping point bombs to stop you from being caught and put back in your straight jacket!!

Need to get those that are not folding on the 100% for 0% plan
so we can get those 16k and 60k free points a day for doing nothing.
Matter of fact it needs to be back logged to the day they did zero so we get those points too.
Some team have been skating with free points for 3 weeks a big disadvantage for those that are folding and not making there reported PPD but get cut for not doing so. Where as someone that's not folding at all gets a free ride. Doesn't really make since now does it?

My reason for asking to be taking out of this contest early on. To many uncertain rules not clearly being place or set to a understanding manner.
This is a silly rule with no clear time frame of if there is a cut off date or not.
 
Lets take any sporting game for instance football do they get free plays because the quarter back is injured or decides he not going to show up for a game, no. This would be like saying ok the quarter back is hurt so your team get free 1st downs the rest of the game or free run and pass plays threw out the rest of the game.
 
Actually its the opposite one team has a advantage while the other has a disadvantage because a player is out and so it should be. That's all part of any game and should be that way here. Just saying its a very silly rules that actully make it unfair for those that are trying. How many time have you watched a game were a player got hurt and couldn't play but that team still prevailed and won? I say maybe not 50/50 but if a team really pulls together they can and do win.
 

I'm not going to PM Troy about the 2 on 0 until I hear back from them, it's only fair to give them a chance to let me know (if they can) what is happening with them. If I haven't heard from them by tonight (US CST) then i'll discuss with the Co-Captain if we'll PM Troy. As the 2 have only been out for one or so days, it could be simple hardware failure or it could be something entirely different, they're ill, family matters, there's too many factors.
 
It's the last few days of the contest, it'll likely help if they're set to their prediction, but it's not nice to have them, I think ineligible for prizes when they have folded right up to the last few days if it's full hardware failure, they can't help that.
 
*takes hat off to Tex, agreeing*

If one of your folders over produce, have them take a GPU and fold in the missing persons name. That way the points will count for more. I haven't seen anything that says you can't do that.
SMP won't work since you don't have their passkey.
All those points still go for team EVGA.
Just a thought.

Okay so on PMing like a nagging mad woman, I have learnt, We've had one team member with nothing but computer/hardware problems though they've still strangled what points they can out, and another got called away unexpectedly and had to shut down all but one computer.
 
So if any one has that spare bit of something, fire it up and throw some points out there, it's so close between us and F&F it's enough to drive some of us into our straight jackets!
 
FOLD ON LIKE A LOON!

Hey insaniacs. I wanted to apologize for my lack of folding towards the end of the comp. I had to go through several RMAS this month to get a card I was satisfied with. First original one started to artifact, I can't remember exactly what was wrong with the 2nd one of the top of my head but it had some issues on top of partial artifacting, the third one they sent me luckily did not have an artifact issue but how ever it did run extremely hotter then previous cards as well as having an extremely loud and annoying coil whine from time to time. I just received my 4th replacement on Tuesday and have been trying to catch back up. 
 
And with all the issues I had with the video card I decided to tear my rig down to try and see if there was possibly an issue else where which there wasn't. Took a lot of time, space, and testing to come to that conclusion but it had to be done. And since I had to tear it down I had to turn off and remove my lesser rig which I let run 24/7. I needed the space on my dresser to tear my main rig down. 
 
One of the issues I was having is I think my motherboard sits in to deep of my case so I was trying to resolve that but I think my mind was just playing tricks on me with that. 
 
I would really like to apologize to you all if I possibly hurt the team in anyway for not producing at least my PPD estimated prediction. I have my main rig back up and running when I am not gaming on it and also my 24/7 rig. I will try to see if I can throw something else in there for now to make up for lost time and folding. 

Back to crazy hot here today weather wise, had to shut down 2 rigs that were over heating.

I just noticed my 9800Gt is doing half what it nornally does, Wonder how long that's been going on.
Most likely downclocked at some point, I have one of my 260GTX do this every now and then as well.
But its the 1st time I've seen the 980GT do this.

Man I've been running a GTX 570, 560 ti, 450 gts and a old 285. plus smp on i7 - 2600k and 2 core2 duo's. Been missing my gaming sessions :( oh well, it's all for a good cause.   Back to the folding cave!!!!

Now that's What I like - A positive approach :) :)

You are all making this very hard on us ! This is supposed to be easy ... Keep up the great work you are all doing!

Since when has anything been easy when dealing with the insane?
 
Nice Folding Team!! Keep it up!!

 
Hmm you know it's really hard to shake pom poms when in a straight jacket .

The twin 7970 w/ 2600k at 4.6 added to the mix and fully stable now. Add 95kppd to the mix. To bad my nex wont get her until weds cause its dropping me about the same.
