I've got a 6903 dropping in... 32 hours eek.gif
post #3172 of 4207
I've almost killed my ASRock 4-M board and have already purchased a replacement board (in sig)...lol Keep on truckin'! Get your friends, family, acquaintances, neighbors, coworkers, and clients to help fold for the next 4 days. I'm sure just folding v7 for 96 hours won't hurt or bother anyone. wink.gif

If it were only folding points you could just hand over the points to evga. We can feel confident now because they aren't motivated but if they were, we would have like 60-70 CP in points with all other teams like 10-20 CPs in that category.

a pure point based competition woulda been still interesting,

OCC kinda keeps up with us in raw points

EVGA is just out of the world some how in raw points.

lol

I still thought it was pretty fair.

TS russia is really high too.

What we really should have done was get all of the forums OCN, OCC, EVGA, ETC

and put it against that 17tera flop AWACH server.

EVGA would pwn all and the "little" teams would have no chance at all. That's why the rules were altered in the first place. We did win in 2009 when we had barnettworks and then [H]ardApe stopped participating. I don't know the exact reason but that's what they were saying.

Anyways the current system is fine. I just don't get why OCF is keeping up with us in points. They weren't that great at all previous years (hence the rediculous growth).

It's very hard to make it competitive and inclusive for all the teams. This is the best it's ever been, previous years have focused on different ways to win and each one favors a particular team. OCC are winning because they've grown more and converted more. Yes some of [h] have gone over to help them, but I doubt it's that many. FWIW [h] gave up on the competition for reasons not too disimilar to yours. What may have helped occ was getting all their boincers and hwbot peeps on the team. While ocn instead had a boinc pentathlon happening at the same time. Obviously bigger teams have a harder time with growth, but that's countered by the points category. Theoretically conversion is team size neutral. So anyway, I at least think it's way fairer than it's ever been. We'll find out afterwards what OCC are doing to grow so much smile.gif

Eesh, why does it NEVER fail that I have hardware problems during the CC, every year? This year, it was a pump failure and lack of any stock cooling to get my GPUs running... >_< Up and running FINALLY, better late than never.

Personally, I think this is the best set of rules for the CC yet. It's difficult to have a fair competition when team sizes vary so much, and the inclusion of multiple categories actually gives smaller teams a chance.

i know despite me saying "not trying to be a dick here" will just make my statement worse, but isn't "the bigger you are the harder you'll fall" a bit outdated? i mean i am all for farmer's markets instead of walmart, but i wouldn't let the owner of a farmer's market run my business if i owned one, i´d want some super walmart regional manager or something you know? despite that being said, i don't mind the playing field being balanced and fair, but i for one find it odd that the only way you can accomplish that, is by handicapping teams(?)

what would happen to bastketball, if all of a sudden you said "oh, kobe and lebron, you can't play this season cuz you're too good" ?

again, these are just ramblings, and my 2 cents, not here to offend anyone, just wondering if things couldn't be balanced in another more effective manner? and even MORE balanced point system of some sort
