well even when I'm not leading the pack I don't do daily updates ( you're making a rod for you're own back in future challenges ) , but if you want to pile on the pain ...

TSBT 2nd , no chance of catching SUSA but a stellar performance none the less,

Individual Kudos, positions and bragging rights ....

FlyingfocRS of the Scottish Boinc Team 109th ( and a name I am glad to have to type, welcome back )

so flies duly picked from my teeth ( not happening, safety first I always wore a helmet whilst motor racing ) I'm still awaiting humorous bumper sticker posts.... and anyone who posts ' honk if your horny ' gets banned

Just an observation, not expecting a flame war ..

I have 88 WUs in progress and 78 pending validation, a quorum of of 2 makes catching anyone up a bit more challenging, but hey, I'm sticking with it yes I do need to be patient

(I've PM'd project Admin to merge my accounts, a 420k boost will do nicely and a new badge as well, not holding out for this)

Yeah, pendings are a bit high, but seem to have leveled off for me anyway. Odds are it's affecting everyone the same. And what's this no flame war stuff. Alez and I are just about out of jabs for each other and need fresh meat! Alez and I are good friends and all the pokes we're giving each other are just in fun. We only pick on each other. :)

Ok Ok, a bit of banter is good ...

WU times at least seem consistent apart from my Mac which just loathes these subsetsum WUs, no surprise bunkers for me on this project .. :bom:

It would be a rather nice "bunker" if your previous 420k was counted into this comp!

That is worth an honorary ban :)

No flame war here, this is Pirate disipline .... sometime the scurvy dogs need to be put in their places besides got to get my digs in whilst the going is good. No doubt I'll be trailing again on the next comp

I'm up to 806 pendings so far, I was at 650 for a long time. It's just the luck of the draw who you get paired with and whether you get the unit first or second. It's the same on every comp with a quorum of more than one. Comps with a quorum of 1 are the only time you can compete with no ' luck ' involved.

sailing very close to the naughty step with that one

7 day challenges are about 3 days too long :pale:

But I do have a new SubsetSum badge. Waiting for the signature to update before the official bragging post.

Only 47 more hours of pain to go.
I think we can guarantee 2nd behind SUSA now, no amphibian final assault imminent
Universe assault for us to look forward to, a certain German team will rue calling us cheats 8)

Can I have a bit longer please

I'm moving on up, all be it at snails pace ... I agree not the most exciting race ...

(still no word about my 420K bunkering linking plan, guess Admin is too busy ..)

You are moving up,al@ON from LAF is in front of you for 20th and seems to have responded to you catching him. Stick to it as it will go to the wire whether you get him or not. Last update before the oversized female makes her last performance . Mark has joined in for 11 of us on the list now. Well done all.

Hello!

Only 13 hours to go ... Managed to get some clear water, and climb to 20th, hopefully no icebergs ahead ! :mrgreen:

10 hours to go. Team position secured in 2nd.
Final sprint to the line between Paul and Utopia-i
Time left to flog those cores

Core flogging is now complete, the dust has settled and the results are in. Feel free to complete and upload all remaining tasks as we have moved up in the world above setikah@korea and in formula boinc and can still get a few places and points higher. Otherwise onwards to Primegrid for GPU's and Universe for FB if you don't mind.

TSBT finished 2nd from 11 teams, behind SUSA but we managed over 2 million points and beat LAF in 3rd by a country mile.

Individual kudos and positions

A great result for us, especially as we beat 55 members of LAF. Very well done all.

Well done everyone! 2nd place, which is superb considering the competition, 2 more points in FB and I think that could be safe until the end that comp. And well done Alez. Finest display of pirate crunching I've ever seen. :pirate:

The hint is in the ' Pirate ' crunching

Well done everyone... even to those getting "assistance" :)

Great result there team
Well done with our hard fought battle utopia-i, I'll get you next time

If I were one to make excuses this is where I'd post about me being an idiot and having a bad config file on my pc that reduced my output to a 1/3 for the last day but hey ho who's fault is that

Impressive team reault, kudos to all ..

Silver, I had a pleasant estatic surprise when I piped your total at the death. You wont have to wait long to remind me what humble pie tastes like.

Im getting used to be helped along, Alez gives me a 7 day bunkering start, Silver corrupts his PC config Scole250, what do you have in mind

Hurrah! :wav:
However we did it we did much better than such a small team should have. Well done.
And I'll settle for being in the middle of it.
Go TSBT !

We can claim full credit for finishing in 2nd. Any help did not affect that.
