Question
Y'll up for a lil race? Folding@home style!

alright us guys over at anandtech are just finishing up with a seti@home race where we creamed the crap our of the competition (DSL Reports) and are feelin might good about ourselfs, as it would be unfair for us to challenge you to a seti@home race (we are number 11 world wide) I would like to challenge you to a folding@home contest, we are a very small team at the moment our team number is 198 if you wanna check us out. so what do you say? are ya chicken? or can you handle team anandtech?

so ahh, what do you say?
2 months, most new work units?

here were the terms of endearment err umm I think I got that wrong, anyway, from our race with DSLR, perhaps we can use it as a template?

Rules of Engagement

With the furtherance of SETI@HOME as our primary goal and in the spirit of
friendship, Team AnandTech and Team DSLR Starfire do mutually agree to the
following Terms of Engagement. It is the desire of both teams to keep this
competition honorable and friendly.

Each Team will name an Ambassador at Large. These Ambassadors will act as
intermediaries and handle any disputes which may arise prior to and during
the competition. Not withstanding, the Ambassadors may and are encouraged to
seek advice from senior members of their respective teams.

1. It is the desire of both teams to keep this competition honorable and
friendly. Both Teams agree that all Team and personal caches will be
uploaded the day prior to the start of the competition, by midnight December
31, 2001 CST, 10pm PST, 1am EST January 1, 2002, 6am GMT. The team caches
will be placed on and stay on "Auto Upload" for the duration of the
competition. Personal caches must be uploaded at least weekly.

2. At 1pm CST January 1, 2002 a designated team member of both teams will
pull the starting totals of completed WUs. The competition will commence at
1pm January 1, 2002 CST and will end at the same time, Central Time on
February 28, 2002.

3. Completed and uploaded WUs will only be counted which are produced in the
name of the respective teams after the commencement of the competition. Any
completed WUs brought to either team by a new member will be removed from
the total to date production for purposes of the competition only. Only
newly completed WUs will be counted. Each team will designate a statistician
who will handle this. Any challenges to this will be immediately reported to
the Ambassadors for clarification.

Let me explain. A new member's previously completed WUs will not count but
any WUs completed by that member after joining will count if they are
completed after the start of the race.

Stats keepers for DSLR will be Overhill with the official stats and a stats
graph added by Nothlit. Team Anandtech also has established a committee of
stats keepers that can be counted on if a problem arises. If you believe
there is a problem with the stats please IM your team ambassador.

4. If a member departs from either team his total WUs will not be deducted
from the team's race production. Instead only those WUs that were completed
after the start of the race will be subtracted.

5. Any team member who changes their name for whatever reason will make a
posting in their respective forum and notify their respective Ambassador who
in turn will notify his/her counterpart on the other team. Failure to comply
with this will result in the "newly added" past production being removed as
if it were from a new team member.

This is important please let us know before hand if you decide to change
your name. You will show up in the stats as a departed member and then a new
member and your previous WUs will be deleted when you depart.

6. Bragging, taunting and the like is highly encouraged. However it is
expected that it will be done in the spirit of the competition and there
will be no personal attacks made or inferred on any member of the opposing
team.

Let's be real ladies and gentlemen, we are above this. Do not post any
accusation in public; bring them to the team ambassador.

7. Any team member who feels that they see something that may be
questionable is to contact their team Ambassador by IM or email ONLY.
Flaming within the forums will not be tolerated by any team member!

Good luck everyone, may the best TeAm win!

Hmm... your team is smaller then us right now, but if you get a lot of SETI members then we would have to pull a lot of computers off of genome@home in order to keep up.

engracio, what pasture is your herd grazing. Are they up to the challenge. My power bills didn't get any better. So i'll bring two more computers on 24/7 and see what that does. I also have a friend that just bought a P4 1.8. I'll just have to make sure folding won't affect his video capturing. Genome doesn't affect mine.

Virus,

The herd will be grazing back to the old pasture. They meandered in the UD field cuz them mad cows were raising so much hell, they all have to find out what is the commotion.

But most will be moooing back in a few.

As to the current topic, whatever the team consesus I'll go along with it. I'm not going anywhere any time soon.

I have been lurking here at TECHIMO for a while just sucking off the vast amount of knowledge that is out there. When I saw the challenge of a race though, it brought the old hot rodder out of me. I blew the dust off some old machines and decided to put them back into use, but there has been a pitiful response from this team. I realize I'm not the perfect member (lurking) but if a challenge comes my way I will rise to meet it. I expected more from this team. I see the ECCP guys talking about moving up in the ranks and the UD people congratulating their team members then I see a complete lack of response from the Folding team. Well, I am up for a race. I added 4 (albeit old) machines to contribute to this team and I don't want to back down. Let's take them out. Is there any body else that wants to do this?
