THE subteam signup thread

shadowscotland · 22 May 2007 at 21:50

Hi all and welcome to the official Team10 subteam thread!

following on from this and this I've decided to take it apon myself to organise (and I use the term losely) Ocuk's first Subteam.

the aim - combine resources to outstomp the 'mentals'
the place - Team 10
the time - Thursday 8pm (aka after the news stats take off)

All that's needed is a name. [Team10] works for me but I'm all ears untill Thursday evening you've got 48h to post your ideas - I'll select 5 and we'll vote on the best.

Remember that it will preseed all your uses names for example
[team10] shadowscotland
[Chip Shop Curry Flavour] shadowscotland
[HMSstompie] shadowscotland
[silly] shadowscotland

Am I floging a dead horse here? or is the prospect of 500 stomps in the first week just not exciting enough

Whitestar · 23 May 2007 at 11:17

How about 'OcUK Stompalot' as a team name.

And yeah, I'll put a cruncher towards it.

But you're one of the mentals they're trying to catch! :rolleyes:

SiriusB · 23 May 2007 at 12:15

See, you can't win. Mentals get everywhere!

shadowscotland · 23 May 2007 at 12:31

Whitestar is living proof that multipule smaller outputs when compined give massive numbers - Just knows a good thing when he see it

But you're one of the mentals we're trying to catch!

hint, hint

So how about it you two - got a single cruncher you'll willing to add? page 1 in one week is a realistic goal :cool:

Snapshot · 23 May 2007 at 12:31

I'm sure I can afford one cruncher so I can try to catch myself.

SiriusB · 23 May 2007 at 12:40

So how does this sub-team malarky work?

If it is all done using that stats website I can't join as it apparantly uses a .vbs script. Pretty sure that wont work in Linux.

LOL I've only got one cruncher at the moment anyway

shadowscotland · 23 May 2007 at 12:58

And? I've only got one crucher in my ownership - and thats going in the sub team.

Edit: if anything of all the members here, it's the single crunchers that this sub team will help the most. (with the possable exception of cob & co

)

As to the stats site SB - can you see this

Mr. Brightside · 23 May 2007 at 13:18

If enough people signup I'd be tempted to join, I've got two machines that Fold - an Athlon 2600+ and a Celeron 2.4.

If too many people sign up we will be in a situation where there is OcUK, a few stragglers and some giant subteam.

WoZZeR · 23 May 2007 at 14:03

Stragglers....

I prefer to see myself as a Clint Eastwood type character, just me and my poncho against the rest of the world......

EDIT: what we actually need is some floating folders, so when there is a bit of a contest the floaters can prop up the underdog and keep the battle alive for a few weeks.

SiriusB · 23 May 2007 at 14:05

I see myself as Neo :cool:

shadowscotland · 23 May 2007 at 14:34

Ever since I've been here I'd like all our active users on page one of EOC.
If you've got a pc (or farm) and can get you their in a month, then the sub team is not for you.
Long term users with stats in the 500k and above are most welcome but again would see limited direct gain (unless their just adding 'one' cruncher to the fray for a second level to single cruncher compertition)

If the sub team can't generate 5-10k ppd it's not really meeting it's aim, to compete agains the mentals, but the -configonly flag will revert sub team production back into it's indervidual members as fast as it created it.

SB - your comment is valid but unlikely. more likely page one will include.

The mentals. (god love them)
The die-hards, old school (inc you and my office farm)
The Overachivers, new school SMP crunchers (cob and co)
The sub team
Any alliances
Any C2D owners
Any one else that did it the hard way (took me a few months to get to page one)
Current active residents

WoZZeR · 23 May 2007 at 14:43

I'm on the long haul to the first page......

So what you are essentially suggesting is that all the single machine crunchers could join one sub-team and stomp their way to the top whilst maintaining the current level of competition between themselves.

In a word almost - in many ways what your saying would be easier.

But I'd add two extra guidelines -
1) it's open to ALL folders
2) and ALL single cruncher don't have to join.

Each crunching devise has it's own id (as it's designed for single crunchers afterall) even if you feel like entering two.

But I guess most people with two or more crunchers will go it alone anyway

WoZZeR · 23 May 2007 at 17:27

Very tempting.

shadowscotland · 23 May 2007 at 20:02

all I'd ask is people give it a go for two weeks - if it doesn't work or you don't think 'it's for you' just fold under your original ID

So far for names we've had (some submitted my e-mail)

[OcUK]
[OcUK Stompalot]
[Team10]
[SCL] -single cruncher league
[parpmonster]
[PPP] premo pressi pressum (to squeeze, press down, strike down) don't ask :rolleyes:

[old_stompie]
[teamwippersnapper] or [tws]

Mattus · 23 May 2007 at 20:29

I'm out for the time being... no way I could bear to change ID after spending two years getting to where I am on this one!
