I'm in, can't wait. I like points challenge, though runtime was fun too. In for either.
I'll commandeer my bro's pc again (or get him to join) and maybe even try to get another.

I'm in for prizes too. I'll throw some games, maybe some hardware if I can muster any, or perhaps donate/locate a part for the cruncher rig.

Not sure of the time, but there's a weekend I'll be away in May and I'd hate to be gone during part of the Challenge, in case of any errors... But it is what it is.

I don't know but W1zz's join date is May 14, 2004 so you could go by that

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Apr 19, 2014

I'm in and I may have some hardware for the cruncher rig. let me go through things and see what all i have.

t_ski · Apr 19, 2014

I can throw in a cheap PCIe video card if you need one.

Mother's day challenge sounds good to me.

Bow · Apr 19, 2014

Count me in!

manofthem · Apr 19, 2014

I'm really feeling a...

"TPU's WCG 'GODZILLA' Challenge"

Obviously i'm a huge fan of the big monster and am stoked for the new movie coming out, and I think that name would perfectly describe our crunching effort. Understandably, I don't expect all to agree lol :roll:

My avatar may have to be changed coming up shortly in May :laugh:

Arjai · Apr 19, 2014

Me and my Laptop are in!

"W1ZZtenial!!"

yotano211 · Apr 19, 2014

I'm in for the prize thing, I can get a spare HD or SSD or both for a rig.

adulaamin · Apr 19, 2014

I'm in!

I have an unused Splinter Cell Compilation lying around from the 780ti I bought last February. I'm guessing this never expires so I would like to contribute it to the games giveaway.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Apr 19, 2014

I have a hsf, hdd and a gpu. Also may have some memory to contribute. If not used for the build they maybe used as extra prizes.

Peter1986C · Apr 19, 2014

"Mothers Day Challenge" is a bad idea since we are an international team (check Wikipedia to see what I mean). I vote for "May Challenge".

Oh, and points challenge please, all projects.

sneekypeet · Apr 19, 2014

As usual, you know where to find me guys! In for donations!

Checked on the start date of TPU- the site was created on May 14th, 2004 so I'm thinking we center the Challenge on TPU's 10th birthday

Thoughts?

That's perfect, my vote is for TPU's 10the Anniversary Challenge.

Peter1986C · Apr 19, 2014

Agreed, 10th Anniversary Challenge.

manofthem · Apr 19, 2014

I'm in for whatever....

...but...

Somebody's mad....

Norton · Apr 19, 2014

OK here's what we have so far:

- When- May 14th to May 23rd (suggested)

- Name- TPU's 10th Birthday WCG Challenge (pending)

- Format- points

*the date(s) are not set just yet but I think we're set on the name

Let's keep the suggestions coming.....

I'll probably be away the weekend of the 17-19, but I think my rigs will be ok during the challenge (at least I hope so). So time sounds good.

I think a game giveaway is a good idea :laugh:

I think @adulaamin already donated some games so that's a terrific start.
