#1 Boinc Pentathlon 05-May to 19-May 00:00UTC

TSBT is going to enter the Boinc Pentathlon this year. It runs from 05 May 2019 00:00:00 UTC until to 19 May 2019 00:00:00 UTC.

One of the first things we need to decide on is which projects we are going to suggest for the Pentathlon. One of the WCG sub-sproject will be chosen for the marathon discipline but we get to make suggestions for the other 4.

If you would like to crunch for TSBT during the Pentathlon, PM either myself or davidBAM and provide your email address. We'll set you up on the Trello board we're using for strategy discussion during the Pentathlon. Hope so see all our members there.

Come join the fun!

Those Dragoons are a motley crew. Just keep a safe distance from them. They have razor sharp claws and jaws like a bear trap.

NFS Javelin Day 2 - May 9th 00:00 UTC to May 10th 00:00 UTC

We could sure use some help bunkering and running NFS for the 2nd day of the Javelin Throw. Scoring starts on May 9th 00:00 UTC and lasts for 24 hours.

You could do a lot worse than Norway in your line of work. Safe trip!

The Pentathlon is going well. We are set to win at least 4 of the disciplines & almost certainly emerge as overall winners. If we do then it’ll be in large part due to the help of transatlantic friendships forged over the last few years by you & scole in particular.

Unfortunately our externally assisted ascendancy seems to have pissed off members of those teams who see this as theirs to win.

Hopefully they’ll get over it! :lol:

And then who cares if they don't
It's just for "Bragg'n Rights"

the Bragg'n Rights may be substantial actually. Presently on track for straight golds so let's hope there are no late surprises

All you guys are doing us proud.

LHC managed to lock up all my servers. One now has a failed fan unit from sitting running the fans flat out for 24 hours so that's out of the fight. Yet another one down. only 2 of 5 left standing. Managed to convince my better half to venture through the karts and into the tech shed to press buttons and resurrect the two functional ones. Hopefully they have remotely dumped LHC and are on Zika again. Fun times.
