I know a few will disagree with the top 100 thing, but this will really get the slackers to get off their ass
Good going KieX, glad to finally see this come together

Are people going to be allowed to have other members put one or more machines on the contestants account or does it have to be a solo act. And if that won't be allowed, will everyone just be on the honor system?
Thanks. |

Big thanks to all the prize contributing members and KieX for masterminding the whole thing
Hopefully it brings new members to the team. It'd be cool if the winner let the prize rig put in a day of ceremonial WCG Crunching under Contest Winner or something like that just for s&g's

Nice contest. Hopefully this get's some more people crunching.
![]() Too bad there's no way I could crunch that hard in a month. ![]() Although if I do pull it off and win that stuff, I'd turn it into a nice cruncher.

I don't know how you'd work it into the contest, but I think that beer should be involved in some way.
