FiendoPowerUp.

I'm pretty much a bright red baboon ### so it essentially fits the naming convention.

Serious though, I can't think of any right off the top of my head. The only thing I can say thus far is ChimPowerUp (less a p just to be different). I'll keep this working in my mind in case any lightning strikes and I hit gold.

Great Idea and Buck took the lead on that already.

On a side note, I don't want to create another poll thread to see which team name we are going to use for the challenge. You guys tell me which one is the best choice hands down

I just looked at the OCN chimp challenge page and I'd say they are giving away everything but the OCN forum. They have a signup link with over 450 names on it.

Another thing that I noticed looking at their EOC page is one or more of their members are folding on the username they selected for the chimp challenge. If that's legal then I'd suggest we select a name ASAP and start getting our clients running.

Here's a few ideas...
ChimpForTPU
ChimpsForTPU
TPUsChimp
TPUChimps

LOL, I looked at a lot of Chimp pics lately on the net and that one is pretty good considering what's out there.

That was a joke avatar I made Buck. But ok, go ahead and use it ! Also, I removed the "troll face" in the other thread if you like it better, and actually have a more serious entry.

Just want to say I'm super happy to see TPU participating in this. As one of the original Chimp Challenge founders, I never thought it would grow to include so many teams. If I didn't fold for team 32 this is definitely where my race points would go

Alright folks since the team name has been approved, I will start folding with it to get the 10 A2 cores out the way for us bigadv folders. I will then post the credentials when I'm done folding the 10 cores.

Did you mean that you've got a TechPowerUp! username [ChimPowerUP] approved that will compete in the Chimp Challenge?
