See your thread.

Solaris17 · Oct 9, 2009, 12:18 PM

so is this like an auto thing? or do we have to say i want in? o man i hope i win!

dhoshaw · Oct 9, 2009, 01:46 PM

That would make a good bump in my PPD for both crunching and folding.

oily_17 · Oct 9, 2009, 03:23 PM

A very, very nice prize Buck.

Good luck to all our members.

I suppose shipping cost is why those outside of the US/Canada are not eligible ?? Any idea what it would take to ship to Europe ??

EnergyFX · Oct 9, 2009, 06:08 PM

Could you please clarify:

"Eligible winning member cannot hold a Top 10 position on either WCG or F@H Teams."

Is this overall pie, daily pie, or both?

i think its like you cant be in the top 10 in either folding or crunching team stats. like you cant be a top 10 contributer in either.

It is overall pie. You are eligible as long as you are not in the 10 ten of either team before the contest starts. Now, if you work yourself in to the top 10 during the competition, you certainly will not be penalized for it.

El Fiendo · Oct 9, 2009, 06:36 PM

To clarify:

Top 10 Overall in points, not eligible.
Top 10 daily only as long as not top 10 in overall points, eligible.

Yes?

If so, that seems fair. I had assumed top 10 daily PPD.

Fitseries3 · Oct 9, 2009, 06:47 PM

put it this way..

where you considered a "powerfolder" or "powercruncher" 3 months ago? 2 months ago? now?

if you answered yes to more than one of those then you do not qualify IF you are in the top 10 as that is what i would classify as "power" members.

Yes, exactly.

Fitseries3 · Oct 9, 2009, 06:53 PM

heres a question...

since im not in either of those groups would I be eligable?

Well, I would assume that team captains and moderators would pull themselves out of the running.

p_o_s_pc · Oct 9, 2009, 07:22 PM

I so want in this. Its a cool idea and could be a good way to get people to return. I'm positive i can pull off the points needed for this

bogmali · Oct 9, 2009, 07:48 PM

Gentlemen-Let me explain the task and purpose of the contest furthermore:

1. Is it meant to boost our team's production

2. It is also meant to recruit new members (and potential ones) when they see the add on TPU's front page.

Now onto my take on the criteria and eligibility as far as who (I think) does not qualify:

1. Top ten production (PIE) NO GO

2. Team Captain/Co-Captain NO GO

3. Here is a good one - If you have enough HW that can meet the goal, let's say in a less than a month, I can consider you as a "power user". Definitely NO GO. So please let's leave it to the folks that could really use this system and are not as fortunate as many of us when it comes to having lots of PC parts

I can post more reasons but I think you all got the idea.

Also, I think we might be reconsidering to allow team mates from other countries to participate

More to follow on that.

Fitseries3 · Oct 9, 2009, 07:50 PM

bog your fedex accnt gives you far better rates than mine. perhaps you could look into foreign shipping.

theonedub · Oct 9, 2009, 08:21 PM

clarify more please-

do you have to have 60k boinc and 100k FaH or do youhave to EARN 60k and 100k folding within the 60 day period?? As it was in the last contest?

ex if I have 40k boinc to qualify I need 100k at the end of the 60days, not just 60k, right? thanks!

El Fiendo · Oct 9, 2009, 08:28 PM

I believe you need to earn that total (60k and 100k Boinc and F@H respectively, so you'd need 100k Boinc seeming you're already at 40k) over the duration of the contest.

To clarify my post further up, I was going to step out anyways before realizing I didn't qualify. I wasn't looking to angle myself in.

Just looking to help answer some of the questions popping up.

i know i'm not a "power user" I know it won't take the full 60days for me to get the points but it will take a big part of it.

Paulie, you and i know that we do not win the hardware, we provide it!

Big thanks to everyone who contributed hardware for the prize rig:

r1ryder
Chicken Patty
Paulieg
Sneekeypeet
Bogmali

......and an extra big thank you to the WCG/F@H Teams that work so hard for our causes!

El Fiendo · Oct 9, 2009, 10:23 PM

Hmm, Buck, you're getting a PM about shipping expenses.

Yup. All I need to know is that the hardware we provide contributes to the team. I for one will keep giving as long as everyone keeps crunching.

BUCK NASTY · Oct 9, 2009, 10:43 PM

After an overwhelming response, El Fiendo has agreed to short-change the local prostitute to cover International shipping. Now you EU guys have no excuse not to "bring the pain"

Wait.. this would mean El Fido is a swell guy?? That's just crazy talk!!

To clarify my post further up, I was going to step out anyways before realizing I didn't qualify. I wasn't looking to angle myself in. Just looking to help answer some of the questions popping up. __________________ “If you don't dip your words in sugar, rainbows and teddy bears people will think you wish to hunt them down to torture and eventually kill them.” -DanTheBanjoman
