I figured it would make sense if there was a thread where I can talk to all teams, without having to post in each team thread. This will be a part-news thread, and a part-Trash Talk thread.
Ok, I have bad news for all nVidia Folders in the team competition.
It seems the newer GPU servers aren't compatible with the passkey system. Basically, none of the newer GPU2 WUs and no GPU3 WU works with the passkey. That means I can't accurately track your points for the competition. I've been in touch with PG, and they say nothing will be done until the release of client v7, which is a month or two away.
So, I'm forced to have to change the rules for nVidia Folders. If nVidia Folders wish to continue taking part in the team competition, they will need to Fold on their GPU under a new Folding name. I will then use all the stats from that name for the competition, instead of using passkeys.
I understand this isn't what you expected when you joined the team, so if anyone wishes to leave, please PM your team captain, and have them PM me.
The Folders affected are:
The Misfits WannaBeOCer
Nude_Lewd_Man
topdog5252
Explosm
Aqualoon
Baldy
Just Be Cause
Bastiaan_NL
scutzi128
The Royal Navy wierdo124

Again, I'm sorry about changing the rules midway through the competition, but there wasn't any alternative.
That it is... but I'll be as open as I can here. I doubt we'll see any passkey update for at least 2 months. I was talking with Vijay, and he says that he wants the servers updated, but the guy that manages them is working heavily on client v7 at the moment, and that's still in closed Beta. So late October at best.
I gues I'll need a 480 asap to join the main account...
Z, can I use the passkey I had for the 460 on the new account?
No need for passkey; they don't work, so I'm just going to pull all the points from the new account. Since you'll only be Folding with the team GPU on that new account, it'll work out the same.
I would think that passkeys wouldn't be required - esp if there's no way to track the GPU passkeyed points...
Personally, I'm going to leave things as they are for the time being and make a decision after the FoldAThon... Have yet to decide whether to 'lose' points and stay in the sub-team, or "pull out" and let someone else in...
(I know that the last part of that can sound somewhat Lewd, but I couldn't think of anything else...maybe it is just my [dirty] mind.....??
Anyhow, I got a new account and will send it to Z as soon as I'm sure its working.
And I dont really need the gpu for the foldathon, as long as I submit one unit in that time its fine. I should be able to dump a single bigadv before it ends though, and if I dont I'll get a 275 or 250 at work
Gee Z I'm hurt that you didn't mention me. I am effected by it too lol It's just that I already started folding under a new name since we found out that my pass key wasn't working on my account. I guess I'll just go cry myself to sleep on my HUGE pillow

EDIT:
Yeah, what Z said..
You know I picked up on that from the begining and was trying not to say anything but you pointed it out. I guess its a team effort and if you pull out I'm sure that there will be at least 3 or 4 guys behind you ready to get in there

Sorry about that.
Yes, lawrencedlw and repo_man of Team Brass Bottom Boys are also affected, though they have already changed their set ups so there is only one name on their Team GPU.
When is the team folding again? I kinda need my GPU to be folding for the FAT. I get a lot of WUs in with it. I usually get around 15 GPU units in for the same single CPU unit. I take my GPU from the foldathon and I lose about 4k+/-
