Any idea why Fins is showing no points for Pacific?  I see regular updates on KakaoStats from Fins.

The History files are showing steady growth in Fins' numbers, so they are being collected.
 
Give troy8d some time to update things after he gets home - We're going to see a few issues as we're knocking off the bugs.
 
Things should be smoothed over by the evening.

Don't know AB, I didn't see you in any of the TZC Lists.  Maybe they'll instate you for a small tribute...  No really, and in all seriousness...do you have your underwear on backwards?  Quickly reset those "drawers"...hope you get in quickly.

Did I join to late for pacific? 

Now I see what happened.  You signed up for the contest on 11/16 after the deadline of 9pm on 11/15. 
http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=1789837
 
Don't know all the reasons for that deadline date...maybe contact Drougnor or Troy to ask about it.

I have no issues letting you in after the date AB
 
what I like to see is EST hands tied and let the other teams recruit
(for what good that will do)
not likely will change much but hey it will get the teams out recruiting and telling members on GPU QRB and pushing to overtake [H]

just yanking your chain tex
 
you guys got plenty of help from deadthings (hwc/ncix)1.3MPPD
and sbinh[H] 900k PPD
without them you be at 5.7M PPD instead of 7.9
 
beside whats the difference?..
you guys keep talking about handicapping yourselves with longer goal line...like wha??? 
 
this way it's a challenge... the others have to recruit to beat you
 
 
beside the goal is to recruit/overcome/compete
ie push push push ...and lets beat [H}
 
I seriously doubt I can get anyone else to join(from inside and outside the team)
but Im not gonna stop others from trying  
 
and again this would have to be okayed by troy and drougnor
I don't think drougnor has the time to keep adding people on the fly either

There are two difficulties in reopening the signups on this contest - 1) I don't have the same free time I have had in the past to keep up on the additional entries, nor does Troy - If I add a person, he's got to add them on his end as well.
 
2) the method I'm using to mix teams for this contest is a bit rickety and I'm worried if I add too many more names to it that it could become unstable/unusable.  I really do need to revisit this method in a more permanent manor.
 
I'm quite happy to add AB to the contest on my side of the stats, but he's the last entrant I'll do so for, for the reasons listed above.  I just need troy8d to sign off on it and I'll get him inserted and his history for the contest updated.

I've done a spot check on the 0 point producers, and those numbers are accurate, so reach out to those you can and let's see if we can wake them up.

It looks like Troy and I have knocked out the bugs on the stats, AB has been added to the PST - We're running on all cylinders, Lads and Ladies! The only thing missing are those 0 points producers!
 
On that note, I'm going to go chill with the kids for a little bit, but I will be watching for PMs, in case anything breaks.  FOLD ON!!!

Thank-you Drougnor and Troy!!  Without you guys, we wouldn't be having a TZC right now.  I also want to thank XZ for getting the word out to our Bros on other teams so that this TZC could be expanded to all.  It is fun (as usual) and you guys are making it happen for the rest of us.

They deal with all the hiccups and smooth out the bumps and such so we can have some fun.

Sorry folks... I was helping a lot of peeps get their QBR fix, holding hands with a few "Challenging" members that needed TOS love and did not see the deadline. 100% my fault, no one to blame but me. I was just answering skype/steam and PM's as they came. Overlooked the EST rule that night.
 
And thank you! 
 
P.S. I did sticky this thread. Does that make up for it?

There should be a penalty for your tardiness! AB should be added to CST as punishment! No free luches my folding friend.

Hey what's CST ever done huh!?
I'm not sure if that's punishment for AB, or torture punishment for CST , I know we talk smack and jibe each other, but but AB on the team that's just cruel and unusual tactics. .

Hey there fellow folders and friends.
I know I've been quiet this contest and haven't given as much smack talk as I usually do, I've just not been my usual self.
Spend my time worrying and stressing about Madrias. I haven't been sleeping all that well cause I worry that I'll not hear if he comes online (got vol @ 100% & sounds that are sharp & loud on messenger), and when I do I wake up it's morning and I realize I haven't been woken in the night by Mad, I leap out of bed and turn on my screen to make sure PC hasn't restarted or the net hasn't dropped in the night causing me to be logged out of messenger, then I see it hasn't I'm still logged in and I feel down and worried. Waking up like this just adds to the stress and worry. The only way I feel I can break this cycle or ease it some is if I'm not logged in anywhere and waiting to be woken or such. This might also hopefully stop/ease the bad headaches and so on from the stress.

I'll fold out the rest of the contest, and likely leave my computer folding. But just fold.

I don't have a way of contacting Madrias, other than waiting for him to drop by the library and come online. 2 letters have been sent to him he doesn't write back, he's not one to write a letter.
I heard from him the 10th Sept and 16th Oct. A letter was sent to him via a fellow folder 3rd Oct, when he dropped by the 16th Oct I asked if he got it, he replied "Yes." On the 29th Oct I sent him 2 small drawings for his B-day concealed in an envelope and put inside a Christmas card and mailed off, has to go via AirMail (sent early to avoid Xmas rush and only chance of getting to the post office), post from Aus takes up to 10 working days to send. I don't know if he got it.
It's been a while so I'm crazy worried if he's okay or not, or what could be wrong. The library is just around the corner from him (I looked it up concerned that he had a long walk), the weather has been okay of late (look that up too cause he has to walk).
All I can think is he's not dropped by because something is wrong, and if there isn't then why. He told me he wouldn't do the 'one month stay' again and he 'Intended to drop by at least once a week'.
I just want to know if he's okay and I can't stop crying with worry. The 16th Oct til now is a month he said he wouldn't do a one month stay again. So definitely crazy worried.
 
I know there's others out there that are worse off than my worry of Mad, I understand that.

Sorry for the tl;dr.

(don't really know where to put this other than here as I mentioned folding and the contest)

Hmm Madrias doesn't write back doesn't stop anyone writing and sending. If he's okay and it's confirmed nothing is wrong, I say prank the prankster and rain down a "Why U worry the heck out of Shy!?" message, and a "Your folding friends miss you!" message.
Might make the mailman mad but...

... Imagine it raining letters or a snow bank worth of them at his place.
 
Meanwhile I'm still worried and stressed as heck.

Shy, might be time to move on and focus on other things for awhile.  When it get's to affecting your life and health this way and you really have no control over the situation, it may be best to do something else.  Herding cats can be done, but it's damn frustrating.  Might be time to put your energy into something that won't keep you tethered to waiting for communication, get some sleep and reduce the tensions.  Take care and I hope (and pray) that things will start looking up for you soon.

Agreed. That's what I'm trying to do.
 
I have a cat, she herds me, has me go sit on the verandah step with her each evening.
I've injured my left hand, it's all bandaged up atm and taking something for the pain. Unfortunately it makes it difficult to sleep on top of the above.
 
Nothing from Madrias still.
 
You all have a pleasant Thanksgiving.

It is hard to do Shy but its a way to  get your life back the way it should be.
Be leave me I am not one to talk or should I say type
Long distance relation ships are hard been there gave it a  try .l
Worked for a year or so then it just become to much.
DO not lose sleep over Mad just get on with your life .
You're world can not go around Mad it has to go around you

your world has to go around you Not some one else!!!

Good luck I hope this helps a little but in the real world its a toss up
and what I learned other do not want to,.
Have a good TDAY and a better Xmass
