OK, here we go again ... ()
It is the time of the year 2013 when we should start organizing ourselves for the
8th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race!
Just the bare facts:
1. Start: December 1, 2011, 19:00 UTC
2. End: January 1, 12:00 UTC
3. Short intermission: December 18, 17:11 UTC - December 21, 17:11 UTC (The Winter Solarstice PrimeGrid Challenge)
Here are the rules:
I'll put the teams together one day before the race but the discussion about who will race against whom is open.
Please remember: joining and recruiting is allowed. Once the race is started, I decide into which team the new members go.
The primary goal: TeAm AnandTech should climb in the ranks!
The secondary goal: The TeAm shall have a lot of fun!
The tertiary goal: (there isnt one; if there are too many goals, none will be fullfilled).
Here are those who have already decided to take part (as of November 18, 2013):
Anandtech name ____ F@H name
biodoc ____________ biodoc
brownstone ________ wingding
Fullmetal Chocobo _ Chocobo_Navy
geecee ____________ geecee
GLeeM _____________ GLeeM
Icecold ___________ Icecold
Ken_g6 ____________ Ken_g6
Markfw900 _________ Mark_F_Williams
MaskedAvenger _____ mike90
PCTC2 _____________ paulNT4
petrusbroder ______ TAS-Petrusbroder
Philippart ________ Tom_Philippart
Plimogz ___________ Plimogz
Pokey _____________ Pokey_TA
Rattledagger ______ Baldurs_gate
salvorhardin ______ salvorhardin
theAnimal _________ theAnimal
Thump553 __________ Thump553
ZipSpeed __________ Zipspeed
Those who want to participate, please post your names (the AnandTech name as well as the Folding@Home name) in this thread. I'll add those names to this post.
The day before the race (November 30, sometime in the evening UTC) I will compose the two teams as well as I can. The deciding factor is - mostly - past ppd, past history in Folding@Home and my feeling on how things may develop ...
December 1 part 1 of the race starts - and please remember, in the firts part is the time to assimilate, recruit, borgh ...
Until the Prime Grid race I will see how every one is doing.
During the Prime Grid race I'll even out the teams one last time.
After the Prime Grid race part 2 of the F@H race starts and the members of each team will stay in their team.
However, borghing and assimilating and recruiting is allowed during the whole race.
Usually the race is quite even ...
Now the final question arises: What should the names of the tea´ms be? Please propose names and after a few days I'll post a poll.
There is one small complication: I will be away from home from December 19 to January 10, 2014. Therefore we need a Stats-Wizard or Stats-Master to compile the stats now and then ... If you feel up to the challenge, please post in this thread or send me a PM.
OK: lets get this ball rolling! Only 2 more races and then we have a decade of Annual Holiday Season Folding@Home races!
