Net is down here guys so if my numbers drop you know why. Running a tether on my droid right now.

twilyth · Sep 29, 2011

That has to suck hard. Hope your ISP gets their shit together soon. :toast:

JrRacinFan · Sep 29, 2011

Don't worry. a temporary solution but it works. ETA of my new modem is Monday.

Thanks bro but this is weird. Net is back up since being down for approximately 12hrs today. Going to play it by ear.

i'm sorry

for this offtopic but... :wtf:

how does the WGC PPD 5-star scale signature work?

Stars = PPD
-------------------
no star = 0~500
1 star = 500~2000
2 stars = 2000~A
3 stars = A~B
4 stars = B~C
5 stars = C~D

Hat tip to Chicken Patty's post here

badge + 1 star - 500
badge + 2 stars - 2,000
badge + 3 stars - 4,500
badge + 4 stars - 8,000
badge + 5 stars - 12,000 or greater

That sure gets asked a lot... Maybe we should create and sticky a WCG FAQ thread for this kind of thing.

Theoretically speaking, I'm supposed to be working on that. I did make a start several months ago and need to get back to it. In the meantime, I've put a link in my sig to CP's post. :toast:

edit: I think I'll bold and highlight it.

JrRacinFan · Sep 30, 2011

Thanks for the info twilyth. Was wondering what that is for. Now for the modem, it's been up for the past 36hrs without issue, so who knows what's going on.

Delta6326 · Sep 30, 2011

Whoops I forgot I was in this contest I haven't been running my computer at 100%, but now I am.

Chicken Patty · Oct 2, 2011

Here you go guys:

badge + 1 star - 500
badge + 2 stars - 2,000
badge + 3 stars - 4,500
badge + 4 stars - 8,000
badge + 5 stars - 12,000 or greater

i have very slow net .. just 100 kb/s

KieX · Oct 5, 2011

OP updated!

We now have 10 people who qualify for a prize!

At the moment the contestants who qualifed for Prize 1 have a 1 in 3 chance of winning, and the contestants who qualified for Prize 2 have a 1 in 7 chance!

But there's still some time to go, and quite a few are eyeing up that Prize 1! Over half a million points have been generated by the contestants, great work! :toast:

Chicken Patty · Oct 5, 2011

Thanks for the update Dan!

twilyth · Oct 6, 2011

Everybody who qualifies for either price, but doesn't win, gets $25 just for trying - NewEgg gift code or paypal - your choice. But you have to already be in the contest - no late comers.

If you're not in the US and and don't have a paypal acct, we'll work something out - int'l money order, whatever.

I'm doing this on my own mainly because I think everybody involved deserves something for being a part of this.

Congrats and good luck!!!

I couldn't accept that. I may be a stone cold son of a bitch when it comes to charity and stuff, but receiving money for something I do on my own will anyways seems a bit off to me.
And I'd spend those 25 bucks on cigarettes anyways which somehow is hyprocritical seeing as WCG is used to find a cure for cancer, amongst other things :rolleyes:

I'd apprechiate it but I'd rather see that 25 bucks manifest in a crunching machine.

If you don't want it for whatever reason, that's fine. I already have 4 rigs on WCG and I'm afraid that's my limit. I've gone off the deep end a few times so I've finally drawn the line. 2 HTPC rigs, primary and backup plus 2 office rigs, same deal.

f22a4bandit · Oct 8, 2011

I should be at that 50k mark at the next update of stats. I just can't believe how awesome this i7 is at crunching!

I miss mine like crazy as far as crunching. 5-5.5k ppd easily.

Radical_Edward · Oct 11, 2011

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it sadly.

If my calculations were correct you made a Prize 2 qualification as of yesterday with 28947 Free-DC points.

Radical_Edward · Oct 11, 2011

Still hope then. I can always use another cruncher.

KieX · Oct 12, 2011

OP Updated!

Many who'd qualified for Prize 2 last week have put in the extra numbers to reach the Prize 1 draw!

And Prize 2 has a couple more faces too!

So close... 4 more daily updates to go, final stretch! :rockout:
