The Four Cow Race - Abridged

[Dantoo]

The last thread was getting a little long. Can we start another?

Dumping has started I seem to have lost about thousand blocks though The newest client seems to revert to Dnet even if you have settings to stop that. Made page 2 with blocks still to dump!

I've got even a greater disparity now between Mika's and Dnet. Must have cooked heaps of randoms. I sent 500 blocks straight to Dnet to see if I could fix it, but they just seemed to dissapear!

 

[Marty]

Doh! I'm the only one left on page 3!

Congratulations on your ascent, Dantoo! Oh well, its only 4000 blocks. I'll be joining you guys today or tomorrow. BTW, I'm using my Dnet totals in the race to 100K; not all of my cows are flushing to Mika's.

Totals and Rank on Dnet:

MercuryAlpha -- 75061 ---- 39484 --- (+434)
Marty -------------- 62480 ---- 44169 --- (-28)
Dantoo ------------ 58610 ---- 45838 --- (+25)
Engineer ---------- 9134 ----- 100556 -- (+994)
------------------------69134
I actually went down in rank! Thats what I get for doing just 87 blocks/day. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow.

[Engineer]

Remember....You gotta add 60,000+ blocks to that total for my true total.....

Mika's is very close to the real total...Acutally, Mika is about 2000 less than the real total because I didn't use Mika the first couple of days....

 

[Engineer]

You guys ever think about joining together after the 100K race..

We could leave Mika's alone, and create a new email for D.net...Retire all four accounts into that one and at least be very competitive with some of the bigger boys....

What the heck, we could do the same on Mika's...Sorta the team within a team concept....

Just kicking the idea around...

I'm still in it for TA all the way....The little side races, whether against you, or with you against other bigger players just makes it more interesting...

What do you think?

 

[Marty]

I would be very interested in joining a smaller team within the larger one. The races within the team do add a whole lot, and I would imagine that being closer to the top would add to the experience. If we can work this out, I would support it.

[DanC]

Joining TA Cube would place you into 1st place though...

 

[Dantoo]

Did somebody just here a recruiting Officer pass through?
I'm up for anything. I just love being a farmer. Need bigger farm, need more mechanical animals... need..Mhz!!

Actually I thought the Borg were a two-android show. If they're assimilating openly...look out nightmares! There could be a deal of fun in forming Teams within the Team. Yeah, I'm in!

 

[LeBlatt]

hardware.fr, the french seti team just in front of us, is mainly formed of teams within the team.
They also have a rc5 team, but their 25 members merely output 26K / day.

 

[MadMerc]

you guys beat me to that idea - it occured to me last week, just never got around to mentioning it

if we all retired into one email, we'd jump a page i think

only thing would be coming up with a name

first one up - the cowmen of the apocalypse

 

[MadMerc]

of course ive always wanted to be two of nine, as it would make me seven's other fraction, so TA cube is always a possibility

 

[Marty]

Hey, I like that. The Cowmen of the Apocolypse

Let me see if I can come up with something...

Marty

 

[MadMerc]

missed something out, and the reason why it works - its should of course be the 4 of the apocalypse

 

[Engineer]

The name shown on D.net can be anything, as it doesn't have to be the true e-mail address...Mika's show's the e-mail address, so if we make it very large, then there's the possibiltiy that you could enter it wrong in one of your clients....

"TA-CannibalCows@Ragingbull.com" (Yes, you can get free e-mail at Ragingbull.com....


I reserved it just in case anyone wants to use it....

Let me know what you think...I'll e-mail you the password if you guys want to use that one....

Edit: I changed the E-mail to reflect Team Anandtech and also to allow more than 4 members should that happen

 

[Engineer]

Guys, my job will be taking me out of town for the next 3 days, then I'm going on vacation for the next 8....

The downside, I wan't be able to monitor and take care of my herd...

So I hope that the gererous rations of food that I have left them will suffice

The possible upside is that I may be able to add to the herd, but I wouldn't be able to change the e-mail address on them once entered until much later....

If I don't hear back before I go, I may enter
ta-cannibalcows@ragingbull.com just for kicks....

 

[Marty]

Engineer, that e-mail is pretty good; its OK by me. We can combine after the race to 100K is finished.

Marty

 

[MadMerc]

personally i think we should all reach 100k on our own, then form the team and go for the biggie - 1 million blocks

 

[Marty]

I agree with you, MadMerc.
