DSLR Getting Desperate...

[ShotgunSteven]

Yeah, the Thread was Locked, but the deed is done.

 

[MereMortal]

If TOMZ looks hard enough, he might find some WU's in his browser cache.

If not, he may at least find a clue!

TOMZ is a very ambitious and dedicated member to his team. However, his views do not reflect the views of the team as a whole as you can see by the fact that the thread was locked. Since it was locked as far as we should be concerned it is a dead issue. Also many kudos to OCUK for their great integrity.

Agreed!

He's being blasted at OCUK! :Q

 

[Baldy18]

I don't mean to bash TOMZ or anything, if we were down by as much as they are I'm sure some of our members would come up with some pretty outragious ideas also. He is just trying to find ways help his team and has gotten a little missguided IMHO.

 

[panhead49]

do you really thing some of our halo waring members could come up with something like this......uhh......no...........something better and not so public.......

really though it is very sad.......

I was thinking that if we came up with enough money, we could probably brib... uh, I mean persuade, cobra to loan us one of his SGI servers for the duration of the race. not!

<< lookin on the arstech seti page predictions team AnandTech are out crunich dslr byt 3:1 ratio, and the ocuk power coudnt help that, if anything on the arstech page it looks like ocuk that need the help due to the feb 13th stomp by a team phoenix >>



From an OCUK member...hehe!

Now there's a board I missed! :Q

 

[MgKnight]

Greetings TeAm members. I offer no explanation for the action taken by our teammate. I do however offer my sincere apology and thank each and every one of you for not taking what might easily been fodder for a flame war and not using it as kindling to start the fire. I am most appreciative of that.

I have already posted my apology at OcUK and I will be speaking with Mr. Tom as soon as I can regarding this. Once more, my apology and thanks for taking this for what it really is and not blowing it out of proportion.

The race continues...

Thanks MgKnight! Very honorable you you and DSLR!

TOMZ just got excited...probably hormones! :Q

Race on...it's a long one! :Q

 

[Domination]

<beavis voice> heh... heh... he said hormones heh... hehe </beavis voice>

 

[RaySun2Be]

MgKnight,
No problem. I just chalked it up to enthusiasm for his team, & trying to come up with a way to help his team. Maybe a bit misguided, but trying.

Sometimes I put things in action before the brain is engaged myself. :Q

Uh....no comment! :Q

What i don't get is what good would asking for 10,000 wu's do when were going to beat them by 50,000

A couple of quotes from the OcUK people that I like.

i would ask all those that post in here to keep it pleasant please, whilst i agree that loyalty to OcUK goes a bit deeper than this sort of thing, i can understand the frustrations DSLR are going through when you are being outcrunched by sheer weight of crunchers. >>



I wonder if he knows they have more members than us? "Sheer weight" indeed. It is the quality of our crunchers man, the quality!

 

[blcjr]

3:1! Could it be?

Probably not. I haven't tried to run down the source cited for this, but I'm guessing that it is looking at our "gross" growth in WU's, and not the "net" WU's that the race ROE call for by subtracting out our huge "handicap." E.e., count that "handicap" and 3:1 might well be plausible. And those are meaningful numbers for the long haul, if we can keep all the recent additions to the TeAm, but they don't count for the race. So in that sense, the poster was probably a little misinformed.

[Engineer]

Source! Why didn't you just ask!

And you're right baz..it's total WU's in an average for 7 days...not RACE WU's!

 

[RigorousT]

DSLR, ... it's all good. You guys are a good bunch.

.. It's probably the lack of sleep but I can't stop grinning.
I also can't help overusing 'good'. Good times, good times...

[narzy]

you dont even want to know what I am thinking...KEEP IT COMMING! KEEP RECURITING! w00t!

 

[Engineer]

There are a couple of references about AnandTech having more "Crunchers" than DSLR...?!? hehe!

Also, the mention that AnandTech would make a "Similar" deal if that deal would have worked?

I don't feel like registering over there and really don't know those guys to post....if only they knew though

<< It wasn't that long ago that they were complaining about us recruiting from other forums in the context of the PowerPot auction. >>



Ah...but didn't we decide to hold off on using those WUs until after the race?

 

[poopaskoopa]

I have to say that it doesn't bother me. Seems to me like he was just tossing an idea around. He wants to win the race, and he's thinking from all(at least from a different) angle(s). It doesn't benefit their club, as it appears that he(they) would be trading for the WUs now with the future WUs. Personally, I think it's kinda cheesy, but I dunno... Give the man a cookie for raising his hand in the quiet classroom, I guess.
