We of the WCG team have been stoked for the October Challenge that is now in full swing until 10/23. As is tradition with the team, we like to start out with a little game giveaway action! Many users have donated games to be tossed out to team members with the games covering all different genres and play styles, so we know there's a little something for everyone 
If you're not yet Crunching with the team, we encourage you to do so. Please join up and share in our crunching power while we make an endeavor to fight off some terrible medical plagues, and get the chance to win cool games! Of course, we cordially invite our friends of the F@H team to join in on the giveaway action as well, as your hard work is essential!
Useful links:
So let's get into the details of the giveaway!
Requirements: To qualify, you must be an active WCG/F@H team member having returned results by the last day of the giveaway; you must have returned 2,000 points to be eligible for the grand prizes. Also, as we did last several giveaways, please include the following in your post:
”I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on XX cores/XX threads during this Challenge.”
or
"I’m an active TPU folder, and I will be folding during this Challenge"
(Obviously replace the XX’s with your particular numbers of cores/threads)
The Deal: You may enter for up to 3 of the main games, and then please enter for one of the Grand Prizes. If you wish to opt out of the Grand Prizes, please say so, and if you wish to only enter for one of the Grand Prizes, please say so also.
How To Enter: Let's make this interesting for all of us. Along with your game entries, let's entertain an exciting question:
Closing Time: This giveaway will run through the weekend, and we will close it out next week, before the Challenge ends
Random Drawing: Drawings will be done randomly, as outlined in the following spoiler below
A huge thanks and respect go out to all those that continue to Crunch along and do their best in assisting scientific and medical projects for the greater good, as well as recognizing and thanking those that have recently joined the team.. We thank you all and hope you enjoy the game giveaway, the Challenge, and all the good that comes along with being apart of this special team (as well as the F@H team).
Special thanks to those that donated toward this game giveaway: @Tallencor, @twilyth, @Norton, @OneMoar, @xvi, and @Vinska
Let's rock on:

How To Enter: Let's make this interesting for all of us. Along with your game entries, let's entertain an exciting question:
If you could only crunch for one project only, what would it be?
Doesn't have to be a current or a real project, could be anything: past, present, or future, or something of your own creation Closing Time: This giveaway will run through the weekend, and we will close it out next week, before the Challenge ends
Random Drawing: Drawings will be done randomly, as outlined in the following spoiler below
To ensure everyone gets a fair shake and to minimize any potential conflict of interest while maintaining the highest level of transparency- I have drafted a new way to draw winners. The system uses (3) members and works as follows:
My hope is that this will alleviate any concerns about drawings and their legitimacy. If it works smoothly, I would like to see this become the new standard when conducting giveaways that have prizes donated by the community.
The system makes sure that there is no bias or other favoritism at play when winners are drawn. Winners are drawn based on a random number instead of usernames- where a possibility exists to redraw if that person doesn’t like who won, draw a friend, draw themselves, pass on new members, or skip doing a random drawing all together.

anything that used/uses a GPU would get my preference lol. IF i did have to pick 1 it would prolly be FightAIDS@home, just because i know and have lost a few ppl from that disease
