Subbing so I don't lose track.

Caring1 · May 12, 2015

Why not 7 days?
I don't know about most people but I find it easier to remember.

manofthem · May 12, 2015

I voted for 10 days as I think it's a nice balance and compromise between going a little longer while not making it too long for either new members and/or hot days.

However I'd be up for whatevs, just want to throw a vote in there :laugh:

As for prizes, I'll throw a game or 2 into a game giveaway should we decide to have one again. Hardware wise, I don't have much to throw in, but I'd like to try to help out if I could. I guess I'll wait and figure out what's what.

FireFox · May 12, 2015

I haven't voted yet, 10 days it's fine but 2 weeks would be excellent :peace:

Just my own opinion.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · May 12, 2015

Im not voting because i dont mind which option............apart from "other" i have never liked it as an option for anything.

i voted for 2 weeks cause not everyone can crunch all 7 days or all 10 or even 14, but it will be some kind of chalenge so a bit of manipulating with ego will be fine for total result

2 weeks!

LOL, cracked me up. Should do a series of those where it starts with 'are you ready to rumble'. Then it goes 'in this corner is sister mary of perpetual pain - 2 time winner of the WNWF (world nun wrestling federation). In this [other] corner we have sister 'nun of the above.' Her signature move is the high flying Molly-Go-Round.

manofthem · May 16, 2015

Thread needs more planning! :roll:

The team is a little quiet lately, reminds me of the F@H team :laugh:

is the YomatoGun ready on that ship captain?

By the way, you secret weapon makes mine looking like a little ship

4x4n · May 16, 2015

I'm in for this, but how does this work? Most points for the 10 days wins? How do you determine prizes?

Also, I can throw in a 2x2gb set of generic Samsung DDR3. They are HCH9 so they clock up pretty good.

Challenge is between participating crunching Teams- most points wins. Prizes are for TPU crunching/folding Team members who are active during the challenge and the winner(s) are randomly selected at the end of the challenge.

Thanks! :toast:

Awesome donation buddy, thanks! :respect:

I really like the fathers day theme. We always do mothers day, but fathers are parents too.

I voted 2 weeks, because I want to get all my crunchers goings, and 2 weeks would give me more time to spool if I don't get them going quick enough.

Well even if the Poll looks like 10 days challenge is the way to go many of us need time to put the Machines back together.
