Had a bad WU. I've actually never had one before so I didn't know what to do for a few days. Work has been kicking my butt so I wasn't able to do anything about it for awhile.
I did say yes...like...maybe...two weeks ago. I sent a reminder last week. I think they're just overwhelmed. Heck, maybe they did mention us and I just didn't see it. I'm pretty sure they didn't.
It's amazing what our small amount of active members can pull off. I don't think Jody is going to put us in the community blog. For the record, she was the one who actually suggested it. I merely told her how well our folding team was doing. I don't want to bug them. I'm pretty sure this is their busiest time.
That 147K day was incredible, but also a statistical outlier. The major contributors happened to all have one of their best folding days all at the same time. I think the way that this particular site calculates the average PPD is to take an average of the last 7 daily PPDs. So once that 147K falls out of range our average will go down again. Our real average, unless something changes, is probably going to fall around 75K-80K. In order to keep up with you guys I've been running my PC nearly 24h a day. My hardware just isn't able to turn out 12K+ only running 8h a day. Funny thing is I just upgraded so my PPD probably isn't goin to get a hardware boost anytime soon.
Holy crap. NVIDIA is going to overtake us in about 8 or 9 days at their current rate if we stay at +5 weekly. I'm going to add that video card to my server now.
I wouldn't sweat it too much. There are teams that are out of our reach to compete with.
As long as we can pass up our "team conquests" faster than our "team threats" can pass us we'll be okay.
Also, let's remember that our team was treading water at roughly team rank 450 for a pretty long time. We,re about to reach team rank 435 and maybe beyond. We're doing terrific. My hope is that our efforts will inspire others to join the team or become active again.
Also, congratulations on taking the top spot, Nirgali. You had a 47.5K day yesterday! That's fantastic!
We've got a nice solid core of people with respectable PPD.
I messaged JodyR, and she offered to feature the team in an upcoming Community News article. I'm not sure when (or if) it will actually appear, but it would be great to get a few more members consistently folding. I'm interested in a consistently high number of active members (although PPD is nice too).
It would also be great to have any new members know where the team can communicate, namely here. Having a place where we can talk, encourage, and inspire eachother will lead to a better sense of community and therefore more consistent participation.
Yeah, folding during the cold months are the BEST!! Having your PC act as a space heater is killing two birds with one stone.
Although, really, I have no right to talk about cold months. I've never lived in a place where "truly" cold months happen.
Also, team rank 439. Woot!
You know, with our new team PPD we've really got some decent upward momentum. I don't know where the wall is for this PPD, but we don't seem to be anywhere near it yet. The teams that appear on our conquest list are still sooner than our soonest threat.
Damn it. Now it takes a bit of time for me to move up a spot :( horgen123
I remember when I first started folding on my PS3. I was in the 900's in team rank. Shakes and Calkulon were at the top of the list...not too different from now really.
I thought 'who cares? I'll never get that far up the list anyway.'
Eventually I started folding with my PC. With the vastly increased PPD I started to rocket up the list. Then I hit the wall of the top 15.
