Team Ukraine is moving up now into third and putting out some good numbers, we shouldn't have issues but we gotta keep an eye on them. On another note, Team China keeps pulling away now again for first place. We need moar output!

Looks like in this challenge we will have to settle for a 2nd place finish as Team China has pulled away drastically and the challenge is almost over. It was a good run though guys and we did great. Thank you all! I'll update again once it's done to have the final #'s.

 

[[Ion]]

I think we should join some new challenges...what do you guys think?

 

[Radical_Edward]

Yes, that would be awesome, and a good reason for my to get a Antec spotcool for my ram and push a good OC.

 

[[Ion]]

I'll see what I can find then

 

[Chicken Patty]

PM me bro, I don't go on as much and sometimes the page refreshes and I lose track of what I have read and haven't. PM me and I won't miss it for sure, you can post it as well.

[[Ion]]

Great, thank you!

Any interest in any of the general Feb ones?

 

[Chicken Patty]

I'll probably get us in one. I'll check them out when I get home.

 

[[Ion]]

OK, sounds good. I stayed away from challenges from any specific projects, as I don't want the team to be "forcing" people to choose one project vs any other. But some general ones are compatible with everyone

 

[Chicken Patty]

Good point!

 

[[Ion]]

At this point, I have sapphire badges in all active projects, so I'll gladly switch to exclusively 1 project for a competition if needed, but many wouldn't like to do so.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah, I think non specified project competitions are better.

 

[[Ion]]

Yep. At XS, they seem to participate in everything, but I don't think that's the best option for a team of our size.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah, well it's always fun but, I like to take one or two challenges at a time. Unless you guys think otherwise?

 

[[Ion]]

I think just a few at a time makes sense. That way we aren't overwhelmed or something

Are we still doing the Childhood Cancer Day 2011 challenge? It's in five days.

Are we still doing the Childhood Cancer Day 2011 challenge? It's in five days.

Well, I would make an effort to get the 2600k up but there are no 1155 boards to be found anywhere - except for ones that people are still selling despite the recall.

Yep, we sure are.
