[H]ard|OCP Constellation Team Challenge for September

grr some german guy is holding out on loads of my pending while hes
State: All (946) · In progress (611) · Validation pending (10) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (305)

lol its good to see we can see who`s "In progress" on the 3rd verify and making us wait for credit .. but still, grrrrrrr

I wonder if anybody will like my suggestion , if its not been tried before, of just giving us new wu`s for the duration of the comp and then seeing who does best when those completed during the time allowed are verified, some weeks later? it would help the project, make us do as many wu`s as we can and see whos really the best, as it is now im wondering why bother doing anymore as only 1 day left and only gona get 10 or so verified and i got 271 pending, hmmm maybe im taking it too serious hehe but hey its cost me £30 in lecy so im entitled to be :)


2 teams, team 1 does 1000 wu`s and gets 50% verified, team 2 does 600 wu`s and gets 99% verified, who wins? who should? ok ok rant over

On a positive note we may take 7th place any time soon :)

So that's 7th place secure but I can't see us taking 6th unless the validation fairies make an appearance :)
 
There's no way to change the rules, we have to go by the boincstats rules. TBH Like I said earlier in the thread I knew that we'd struggle, to get the most out of this challenge we should have started 2-3 weeks earlier in order to hit the ground running and maybe do what the nrg team clearly did and stash a load of work units and dump them at the start, but we couldn't because of the POGs challenge immediately prior.

Constellation is unusual that it quires 3 validations, most require 2 some only 1, this challenge would have been better if it ran longer than the 5 days but the max on boincstats would have been only 2 days longer anyway. It doesn't personally bother me, all the pending credit that will eventually validate and we have now taken 7th :cool: not enough time to catch anyone else unfortunately.

Wouldnt it be better if we just did new, no verify until after the comp then see who did the best? , theres so many variables as it stands, a set time to do as many wu`s as possible then get them verified would be better imho
but hey ho rules is rules and some know how to bend them to there advantage hehe

I know what you're saying but I don't see how boincstats could implement that and some tasks can take months to validate as well when succesive donors let the work unit dealine run out.
 
Unless someone has some hidden up their sleeve I can't see it happening :(

I'm just hoping to see if I can push up to 17th.

At least I'll hit 250k in the coming weeks and months when the WUs I've done for the challenge finally get validated :)
 
Well the stats are clearly wrong :mad:

It's showing me with 44,069 now and an hour ago, I know for a fact that in the last hour I have had 2 (yes two !) become validated. Sadly another 15 in that time frame are awaiting the validation fairies who don't seem to be listening to you.
 
3 hours to go, ill be posting another 16 in 2.5 hours , that will leave me with just 9 wu`s left on pc. Whats next ? anymore comps or can i play some games , just got quake 4 for a quid from CEX lol cant wait to see it run on here
 
Well I've taken 17th :)

and the team is only 1,123 points behind the Poles with just over 2 hours to go :)

You and the fairies have been busy :D
