Yikes chaps! We nearly missed this one which starts in just 38hrs. Not too late to start bunkering. :-)

This was time-based last year. Is it straightforward points this year, do you know?

Are we running this for TSBT or for Sawyer's WCG team? I vote the latter.

Sawyer's team sounds like a very worthy cause.
But as far as I can tell it's not one of the 16 teams signed up for the challenge. Whereas TSBT is.
So I vote TSBT. As for if it is time or credit I think it's credit.

indeed. :-)
Anyhoo the challenge last year was on the WCG site. So time was an option. This year it is on Boincstats where I think credit is the only option.
Anyhoo#2, my bunker is modest but so too is my ambition: let's at least make sure of midtable mediocrity (you can tell I'm a Dons fan!) which would mean we should settle for nothing less 10th place. :dance:

We've had a major f**k-up with issuing the challenge and it is now three challenges: two at WCG (both runtime, don't ask me how it is possible) and one at BOINCstats, on credits.
TSBT is entered in all three.

So long as the three are all running simultaneously then it's not an issue. Having said which the WCG two don't have stop or start times. Does that mean it kicks off at midnight?

I hope it's midnight as I dropped some WCG then read this message. But seeing as it's me and I don't do lucky it will be 7am start :)

We are well in front by credits for Boincstats. We may or may not be able to sustain that, but I'm fairly sure that we will do better than mid-table mediocrity!

AMD users have surged ahead of us very impressively overnight!
More worryingly I can see no sign of TSBT on the two WCG Runtime challenges

He sure is. Working under the same BOINC account as his dad did-as do other family members.

I'm with you.
There's no realistic prospect of a podium finish for TSBT but we can be sure of at least a good midtable finish.
So helping AMD Users honour their fallen comrade with a winning performance seems like a noble goal!

Where is his sense of decorum? Using AMD's best to threaten AMD Users in their own memorial challenge!! :o Bad form that :lol:

Ramjet was probably old enough & wise enough to realise that simply being deceased was not a free pass to anything. :roll:
Fortunately his family & team-mates and those of us with a transnational sense of decency have done enough to ensure that his team remain in front for this challenge. :-)
Let's put it beyond all doubt! :x

remember not to switch teams until after about 2am on the 26th (after daily update).

I am winding down on minor machines now

7 hours to go and AMD Users are 600K ahead by credits on the Boincstats challange. They are badly out of touch on both Runtime challenges: Team China must have very many very slow PCs on the job..
Personally I'm going to head back to the Mother Team.
Maybe start bunkering for the next WCG Challenge which starts in 24hrs. https://www.boincstats.com/stats/challe ... /chat/1070 :o :roll:

A word of thanks from Jason:

"A big thanks to all the crunchers who participated in this awesome showing for the ramjet memorial challenge. We would also like to thank other teams members who jumped in to help us maintain our spot as we needed every machine we had on it to hold spots #1 at boincstats and #2 at WCG. A big thanks to Dirk Broer and Vaughan for reminding us to set this up and all the great work they do for AMD Users and the crunching community. This sure would have made Ramjet happy to see this level of participation at WCG. I am thankful we were able to run a large percentage of his crunching farm for the memorial race 3 years after his passing. The ramjet family sends thanks and appreciation for the great level of participation in this challenge."
