Office rig restarted overnight. Effing windows updates. GG.

 

Working from home today, do not plan on restarting them. Will be nice to work with fans at 300 RPM for the rest of the day.

I was wondering why there was such a big gap. Stupid windows updates.. Enjoy the silence

[BWG]

You guys are tied in # of work units which is the real measurement of success

[damric]

What is the tentative date for the next competition? This was pretty fun, even with the teething issues. You guys even finally nailed the stats finally.

 

Suggestion though...there were so many threads to navigate about basically the same thing that I think I kind of got lost in the mix if I wasn't sub'd to each one of them. For the next competition, please try and get all the setup info, stats, and rules into the first post of just one main thread for the competition. I'd like a slot for CPU folding too if we can do that?

[BWG]

3rd Wednesday monthly usually unless another event is going on like the anniversary event. This one has the red tag next to it so you can look for that and know it's the foldathon.

 

Now, if you meant the DEMO of the Team Folding Event, that will be 1 post in it's sub-forum which is separate from typical folding discussions.

@Avacado would have taken the WU win if his system would have been online. High HP cards win the points game, but his 14 cards will crunch more units than my 6/7 cards will.

It is fun for sure, and it'll get better if more guys join us here!

Speaking of other accounts.  Did anyone ever cash in their FLDC?

Nope.  By the time I had enough worth cashing out, the exchanges I was familiar with stopped supporting it.

Congratulations to the winners!   You've got a typo on the second prize though.  The username tag should be one line lower than it is.

Donating my prize to the next competition

[Sgt_Swanny]

My good old 1050ti working haha.

[Sgt_Swanny]

@BWG Please donate my prize to site funds or a charity.

[Supercrumpet]

By my count we only hit 861 WUs this month (please double check and let me know if I messed that up), but since a winner for my folding time has already been drawn, we can still do that @tenchimuyo93. Go ahead and send over a PM with your username and passkey you'd like me to fold for. Congrats!
