D'OH lol

Chicken Patty · Jul 30, 2010

I know a few will disagree with the top 100 thing, but this will really get the slackers to get off their ass

Good going KieX, glad to finally see this come together

BUCK NASTY · Jul 30, 2010

Big thanks to KieX for organizing this contest!

Are people going to be allowed to have other members put one or more machines on the contestants account or does it have to be a solo act. And if that won't be allowed, will everyone just be on the honor system?

Thanks.

theonedub · Jul 30, 2010

Big thanks to all the prize contributing members and KieX for masterminding the whole thing :toast:

Hopefully it brings new members to the team. It'd be cool if the winner let the prize rig put in a day of ceremonial WCG Crunching under Contest Winner or something like that just for s&g's

Nice contest. Hopefully this get's some more people crunching.

Too bad there's no way I could crunch that hard in a month.

Although if I do pull it off and win that stuff, I'd turn it into a nice cruncher.

I don't see nothing wrong with helping, it's been done before. That should answer both above posts.

For any guests that would like to give this a try just go Ion's WCG Essentials thread.

As Chicken Patty pointed out it's fine for users to help each other, so bring along your friends to join. Just remember it's only one username and therefor only one entry into the draw. For anyone wondering: you roughly need an overclocked core2duo to get enough points to enter the draw.

Agreed. Here's the link for anyone who would like to see all the info neatly arranged:
