ah crap. I missed the part about taking a screenshot and I folded 24/7 during the full challenge.
Sucks to be me for missing that part I guess.

I think we should be able to choose the prizes from the pool. I burnt out a gts450 superclocked during the challenge, so I am definitely looking at a 560 ti if I get a chance to snag it, but either way I agree with others about getting something you might not use. Either way I'd be lucky to win anything I'be been trying for a couples years through every EVGA promotion and haven't won yet. Good luck everyone and great job!

As can drougnor . . . *grin* Gotta bring my systems up to the most power efficient so my wife'll allow me to fold more!
And I'm not greedy . . . I'll be happy with a 560. *laughs* And before I jinx myself, I'm gonna stop now. Need to go anyway.
See you all this evening for the drawing!!

I almost didn't want to spend the energy to fold after the first couple days! Why was our handicap SO large? That seems unfair to an extreme.

- To bring attention to and spread information about the Folding@Home program.
- To attract new folders, and hopefully retain them.
- To increase production towards the program by #1 and #2.
- HAVE FUN!
Those are the main goals as I see them. Being #1 and having bragging rights? Meh, we had our turn last year. Let someone else have the Jade Monkey for a while.

To whom-ever can edit the prize list - The 8800 gt i was going to donate died during CC, so instead i will be donating a sapphire 5870 1gb reference model. That 8800 made about 15k and "poof". sigh...

Haha, I'm not saying that I wanted to fold only if we would win, but I wouldn't have folded 24/7 for 10 days. Too much for our electricity bill... I would have folded a bit more than usual, but not much.
And also, I was mostly just asking what handicapped us so badly.

Shadow - The handicap was straight math - 1/100th of a percent of total team production over 5 months. On the surface, that's fine. Everyone's base performance as a percentage.
Realistically, where it became so detrimental to us is the percentages game. We have so many people in our team that produce such high numbers, that when you compared how other teams were able to ramp up production to their chimp themed team, we had no chance.
to me, it's simply that this year was the trial run of a new method, errors were found in the assumptions, we make adjustments and see what happens next time around.
There are already several great ideas how to tackle things next time around, but it all depends on what the captains of all the teams can agree on.
And if I came off a bit strong, I do apologize. Got kinda fed up with how often things about the points handicap were being thrown around in an angry way, when the whole goal is to promote the science . . . . you monster.
Ok, yeah, I REALLY need to put in some more Portal 2 time. Get that out of my system.

Good question, front page shows TBD ,.... so when someone is picked how long do they have to respond? And if they dont necessarily need what they are offered does that void the award or do they get a second option? pass and pick or is it just already picked and thats that? Edit: Or is it like this and i just missed the details somewhere? http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=939009

its was discussed earlier how the prize drawing should be done, and alot of us wanted to do it the slow way where everyone gets a random number and go down the list one by one based on your number, you get 48 hours to choose a prize or you can choose to pass on to next person. Once the person chooses or passes on thier turn they have to PM the next person in the list.
