 ****! = way to fold! Still looking around myself. :-) My stats with the 17 just jumped to 233k... The X3380 should jump a good bit once it finishes the one its working. Its working a WU that got delayed the reason its PPD is low. didn't know the rig had got shut down for almost 24 hours. :-(

Been busy with life, but I'll switch over my GPU client for the next week. It isn't likely to contribute much though on account of D3.

Hey sorry Ive been away for such long periods of time. Ive been working severe amounts of overtime and double time at work so I dont have much time to anything else. About what was being said yesterday, I probably couldve done better with recruitment but I didnt know what was allowed of me to do in the name of CC since Im not a mod.

devdog51 Hey sorry Ive been away for such long periods of time. Ive been working severe amounts of overtime and double time at work so I dont have much time to anything else. About what was being said yesterday, I probably couldve done better with recruitment but I didnt know what was allowed of me to do in the name of CC since Im not a mod. No worries at all. We all do the best we can. And BTW... Being a Mod does not make a lick of difference. We too are still members like you. We do not have access to any list more than any other member... And I was not leading any kind of charge, nor do I or did I get asked to do anything. I simply took it upon myself to do what I could in between my multiple other responsibilities...  MANY times in the past few months I asked when are we going to get a thread going to announce CC, so please remember one very important item... With the other teams taking almost to the point of no return, a very oh-hum attitude towards the way this year would run (Ranks/handicaps) that we did not even know till two weeks before go time that we even had a CC this year. So as far as I am concerned... We are doing a fantastic job with a group our size at this point with all the challenges we face. We all knew we had no chance in Hell to win anything superficial. We are here to help. Besides... Our firepower gets us closer to solving real issues than most of them combined. THAT is what matters Not to mention, it just happened this year that EVGA was and is up to their eyeballs in multiple launches and shows. They are stretched thin. We work with what we have and grow/improve on that the next time...

Yea, and believe me Ive had more fun getting shot at then getting a straight answer out fo the CC forum resolving the points issue. I would like to say feel free to tell me anything you think I need to improve on. I kinda jumped into the deep end without really knowing what was going on so I know I made a lot of mistakes.

First thing the CC date needs to be changed, its way to hot here this time of year for this. Ya I read it suppose to be changed somewhere "not sure of the new date" but winter would be best since its not cold everywhere in the world this time of year. lol

Well that was an issue that will come up again undoubtedly next year. We pushed it back to avoid HPCS interference. There was discussion about changing it but the only real options are early May or September I think? The teams are from all over the world so you have to harmonize the southern and northern hemisphere

September is way better for me. Yea I know they have a lot of contest in winter months & does create problems. I wouldn't mind if it was done a few weeks or a month before Forum Wars or even after. Its already in the 90"s here I really feel for the folks in TX or NV with over 100 temps already. Edit: I was hoping to be able to keep all my rigs running at least until this contest is over, but may have to drop some. At least in day light hours then pick them back up late afternoon/evening once it starts to cool down. I have most of my rigs in a 12' by 24' shed/shop w/ 2 AC's and still can't keep it cool enough in day lite hours.

devdog51 What texinga said +1 Mistakes are part of life and from my viewpoint you did a heck of a job. I was not willing to take the job and the same goes for a lot of people. If you are getting criticized by any one of these people take it for what it's worth, nothing. As far as when to have the cc, it needs to be put to a team vote because you can't get everyone to agree. Thanks for your work.

Ha, last CC I played minecraft while folding to get some gaming in with minimal ppd loss (no folding rig back then). Many thanks to devdog51 for stepping up to handle captain duties this year. You are doing a great job!

I'm still working on a Prize or two. There are some really nice donations. Would be nice for a few more donations. I know it's not ALL about the prizes but would be nice if more would be able to win a little something.

Wait, what is the qualification list...I didn't see myself on there, wonder if my submission to the challenge didnt get on there. Edit: nevermind, I now see the separate thread about having to submit screenshots. I was new this time around, and don't have a screenshot at beginning (or correct one at end) and can't get any since I'm at work today. Guess I miss out for being new and not seeing the thread. :( Oh well, still helped out for a great cause.

I do need clarification on a few of the items before I can finish the selection page: Barbarossa, 2*15 $ Paypal means two prizes of $15 Paypal each? rbh5081, what exactly is NEW-Bitspower Black Freezer EIX58NSC EVGA Classified X58 North / Southbridge Combo Block - Nickel Plated (BP-WBEIX58NSC-BK)EIX58NSC EVGA Classified X58 North / Southbridge Combo Block - Nickel Plated (BP-WBEIX58NSC-BK)+MOS EI58DP Version 2 EVGA Intel X58 MOSFET Liquid Cooling Block (BP-WBEI58DPV2-BK) Bitspower Black Freezer MOS EI58DP Version 2 EVGA Intel X58 MOSFET Liquid Cooling Block (BP-WBEI58DPV2-BK) Is that one prize, two prizes, or four prizes? And how do I descibe it / them in 20 characters or less per prize? MoneyHypeMike, you listed 2-3 games from Steam inventory + 1x Saints Row 3 key. I don't know exactly how to list those in the prize selection tool.
