Missed the start of this one
Must try harder in future, glad Scole was paying attention and is crunching away towards the top :headbang:

[Alez]

I'm already doing the poem and the pogs challenge. Should be a couple of droids on this if they are not tied up on WCG.

[scole of TSBT]

We've passed LAF to take 6th. 5th is going to take a bit of work, but I think we can take 'em. :pirate: Watch out if you look up though. I hear eagles can be worse than sea gulls at the coast.

[Bryan]

Flog them cores guys! Think we can kick some SUSA butt? :violent1:

Looking in my crystal ball I see the number 3 ... I wonder what that means?

[scole of TSBT]

hehe....

[scole of TSBT]

Come on TSBT, lets give the Yanks a thrashing 8)

[Bryan]

We're gaining on them but far too sloooowwwwly

[scole of TSBT]

I got this...

The beatings will continue until the Enigma output improves!

Is it working?

Some of our regular crunchers aren't in it...yet. Alez is on his way back from a 2 month remote assignment and apparently doesn't have his cores on it yet. I'll give him a few more hours before the ridicule begins. Megacruncher has had ISP issues lately. Maybe, he'll get it sorted out in time. There's a few others who have shown up in the past. Maybe they'll see the bat signal and jump in. Doesn't matter if you have 1 core or 100 cores, it all helps.

[Bryan]

It's looking MUCH better. We need 2k/hour to take down SUSA for the #2 spot and right now we've got them by 5k/hr! 8)

[Bryan]

I was doing some spying on the competition, SUSA, and found that they've seen that I'm running Enigma and were glad to have me. I just said; "Yep, I'm running full bore!" I just didn't bother to tell them where

Unfortunately, a friend said since I was running it he would join in the Enigma challenge instead of doing Seti. I had to send a PM and tell him it would ruin the balance of the universe if he did that. So he has opted to join here ... bringing 36 4G threads. So sometime after the Bstats daily update today Drpop of SUSA will change to "What's under the kilt" at TSBT.

Now maybe we can kick some SUSA butt ... and if not at least they will have to pay attention to us!

[scole of TSBT]

Welcome to the challenge What's Under The Kilt and nae, Ah dinnae want tae ken...

[Sphynx]

I see you guys just took down SG, congrats! If I were you, I might just set my sites on a number 2 finish. Keep it up!

Edit: ...and we are paying attention! We just can't seem to do anything about it.

[scole of TSBT]

Aye, we have all our cores humming. And fortunate that a couple of our lads from Clan Bowmore in the Hebrides heeded the call and put their cores on Enigma too.

I'm an American Scot and I really hate those guys...

[Bryan]

Well there is 3rd place 8) I'm getting low on cached WU and some machines will start running dry in the next few hours. If the project doesn't start giving more work I will be totally empty within 6 hours.

[scole of TSBT]

Geez. Second challenge in a row where the project runs out of work. And I haven't learned my lesson yet to keep my bunker full.

Thanks for the help and thank What's Under The Kilt.

[Alez]

I'm home and I'm on it. Hold the ridicule, completely knackered but running round trying to get cores on this. Welcome to all our new joiners and our returning guests. Good to see you again Dr Pop.

[Bryan]

And I haven't learned my lesson yet to keep my bunker full.

Yes, stupidity on my part. I wasn't having any trouble getting work so I had my cache set at .5 days. Lesson learned, that isn't the way to load up for a challenge

Poland is tapering off as well so we may hold #3. I still have 3 machines with a little work left but I'm definitely coasting now. 424 WU (12k) left to do.

[Alez]

I didn't get any

[scole of TSBT]

The server ran out around 1-2 UTC.

[scole of TSBT]

Work is available! 14 hours left.

[Silver]

I'll see what I can manage to get in the last few hours......

[Alez]

[Silver]

Well done everyone, a great result
Obviously I would've been challenging Bowmore for the lead had the project not run out of work

It's a good thing you guys were asleep when the work came back otherwise I would have been in trouble

Great run guys ... it was fun! We'll do it again in the near future.

[Alez]

Thanks to you and your guys, always a pleasure, you are welcome any time, and if we can help you out again you know where we are.
