[oct-09] Folding Giveaway Contest

Alright kids. We've have some great people step in and donate some stuff to our team. So now it's time to give it away!!

Here's how we're gonna do this.
Step 1:
Create a new name to fold under. Preferably your current folding name with a "2" at the end to make everything easy.

Step 2:

You use only 1 folding client under said new name.
(not that this will be needed, but I have people checking the stats every update to ensure nobody tries to cheat.)
**Also please note, if you mess up the first install under the new name, please make a 2nd name just to ensure it doesn't count as 2 cores on stanfords page. If we see 2 cores, we have to go with that.
Step 3:
You fold for team TechIMO (111) starting on the 5th**. This giveaway will go for 3 weeks, and we are gonna be going by the number of WU's that you complete. You must complete at least 15 Work Units (WU) to be eligible for the giveaway. If you get over 30 WU's done in our 3 week time period, you will get 2 chances to win. If you get 45 WU's, you get 3 chances. (you see the pattern here?)
For example:
Bob folds for team 111 and completes 16 WU's in the set 3 weeks period. Bob now has a chance at winning the prize.
Carl folds for team 111, and gets 32 WU's done, Carl is now entered 2 times.
BigMoney folds for team 111, and completes 65 WU's, he now is entered 4 times.
****note- I'm going by GMT 00:01. That makes it 7:01PM CST, 8:01PM ET, 6:01PM MST, 5:01PM PST.


Please make 1 post in this thread with your folding name your gonna use if you are planning on entering.


The Prize:




MSI GTX 260 (216) 896MB DDR3 PCIe 2.0 Graphics card!

Now lets get our fold on!

---------------------------------------------------------------
A big thank you to Max_C, without him this wouldn't be happening. Please make sure to let him know your thankful.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The Winner is:

: dance:

Congrats Bat!
Pm me or Max_Confusion your info.

OK, in for it. We going by the # of points or a drawing at the end? Assuming a drawing by the # of entries.

Of course, I will forget to start another name on the 5th., so will probably start on the 6th. or 7th.

Drawing at the end. Points aren't even a consideration here. WU's are what we're after.

Hopefully nobody sabotages the contest by starting clients in other peoples name to get them eliminated.

No worries. We got everything covered as far as stats go. Trust me, if people try to cheat, we will know.

As far as the reminder, I plan on keeping this thread towards the top, so no worries there.

I'll enter too, prolly use NLM or N_L_M, but will confirm when I set it up... (Was tempted to use the incorrect spelling version that was started before, but nah...)

Just got one question:
Do the 'new' user accounts/names have to wait until the 5th before kicking off - or can they be started sooner...?
(Just trying to save any potential confusion/cheating by anyone deciding to start now, if they have to wait...)

Don't forget to thank KK as well for getting things organized.

I did open the box to visually inspect the item up for grabs, AND my goodness that is one damn big video card LOL. I hope whoever wins has a really big case.
