cough, cough ... 11 hours to go... cough, cough.
( must be the effects of too many YARRRS !! )
Think this one will be a fight between AF and the aussies. There are 2 guys from AF that between them are putting 1 million / day
AF are flying up the individual board and for the aussies, this is their home project. Intresting times. I might be lucky to still be in the project top 100 by the end of it

Thought I was doing this by myself

, then I spotted silver :) , then I spotted a certain P. Penguin surfing up the table

, then , just for the hell of it I kept going down, and down, and down until finally......
What you doing all the way down there lad ? Let's have a bit of fight about you and crack on

Bunkering like a doomed German leader.
Just uploaded a fair bit. Not much of it validated yet but it should begin to show soon.
Edit: 11 valid, 39 pending & 61 error!

I've 339 pending but only had 8 errors in months of running this project. In fact the only errors i've ever had have been units cancelled either by me or the server. What's the problem with the units you uploaded ?
Should have taken a screenshot of you all the way down there !!!!!!

Only one was a computing error. The other 60 were abandoned after zero seconds. So not as bad as it first looked.
There's no need to be so pleased - I can do lowly if the occasion demands.

Anyway I'm moving up the ranks and should be in the top 100 very soon.
The Koreans have been firmly put in their place (9th) and we are slowly advancing on the Poles. After 7th it all gets a bit daunting!

jinks, crivens...
59 k now.
I can't see where the credit is coming from. Only 5 of them in the top 200 and none of them have suddenly started setting the heather on fire ???
Where is the button that doubles the credit or the push to validate all 450 pendings ?
I'm stumped and we are defeated for once.

Aye. The gap continues to widen.
The problem is that TSBT have 9 active members but the Poles have 49 for POGS. Still 8th is respectable for us in a CPU only comp.
Back to SIMAP & CAS tomorrow for me.

And so the horror continued, and we finished nearly 99K behind the team we had once hoped to overtake, in a well humped 8th place. Still, could be worse!
The most distinguished individual performances, out of 572 users, were:
Alez the pirate- 19th :wav:
Megacruncher - 53rd, I didn't make it to the top 50.
Paul of TSBT - 121st
Pinkpenguin - 130th
Storme - 355th
Apologies to anyone I've missed!

Have to say if Mega couldn't make the top 50 I don't feel quite so bad finishing outside the top 100
