Deadmen Folding (Team 33597) has thus far moved from an extremely lowly rank to 2459th  :thumbsup:  Way to go peeps!

If you have started folding for the team but have not yet appeared on the above list don't worry.  Remember that you will not get any credits until you have submitted a completed WU - but check that your name is unique and your team number is set to 33597, otherwise all those lovely folding points go to someone else!

A footnote to this - we actually have at least 10 folders on the team (I know that Sheepy is folding, but his first WU was a monster and will take a week or two to come through and show on the scoreboard).  

Who else is out there that has started folding for us?  And if not, then why not?

Download the client, install it, run it, put your name and our team number in to the client.  Fold away......

Sheepy, make sure you pause the WU before she shuts the machine down - or you'll lose the whole WU and have to start again - at that rate you'd never finish!

:angry:  The bloody program doesn't autostart when I have done a restart. When I start it myself the POS doesn't remember my username or team. I won't type it in everytime. Gah!

:blink: it should do!

There is a good guide to setting up the console version (including the auto-start) just here (http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread/t-57303.html) if it helps.  I have to say I wondered what had happened to you  ;)

Deadmen Folding has moved steadily up the team rankings and now sits at 1600th.  But we need more PCs folding for us!  Go out and find some people to join the team, or better still just borg their PC and get it folding for you!

Congrats to oldie as he passes the 2k milestone.  However he is now under threat from tealeaf and zok who through their "borrowing" of PCs are catching up fast.
Stryker leaves Tugs eating his dust as his slow boat from china slowley drifts into shore.  Tealeaf and Zok are now in his sights.

And where is Sheepy?  still stalled at the start line?  we hear hes having problems in the pits.... something about the tea lady interfering with the mechanics.

We are currently folding at a rate of about 700 points per day with 32 processors in the team, so with a following wind and after allowing for the folding rate of other teams we have a good chance of breaking into the top 1000 teams worldwide within the next 7 days.  

Keep up the good work peeps!

Way to go Tut, hopefully you've got him folding under your name as well so you get the credits?

Well, we have made fantastic progress over the weekend (all the computers have been on all weekend trying to update Steam I guess - and as a result have done nothing but crunch Folding WUs!).

We are currently 1019th and about 300 points away from a top 1000 slot.

All of the teams between us and 1000th are much older than us - and we are folding at a greater rate than any of them, so it is just a mattaer of time.  After the boost we have had this weekend we should break through by tomorrow so long as we have not all started a brand new 2500 frame WU!

Worthy of note is Tugs who is currently making a charge to join the 1k milestoners.  He has put some distance between him and the rest and is pushing hard towards 1k points and a top slot.

Also worth a mention is the titanic struggle currently going on between Zok and Stryker - it is neck and neck there at the moment!

Nice one DogMeat! Welcome to the collective  :thumbsup:

It will be nice to have some Linux boxes and other borged machines folding away for us - we look forward to you creeping up the list as your army of helpers grows  :worship:

Put a sign on the monitor warning of imminent death or something similar if the machine is switched off.

Or you could just say that it is doing important medical research and that switching the machine off will lead to people like her suffering CJD, Alzheimer's, chronic dissentry and nefarious other conditions that she would probably prefer not to have when they are older.  Onthe other hand, if she wants to suffer then please advise her to continue switching the machine off.  :blink:

We have moved up the rankings rapidly over the last few days and now reside at 716th worldwide :thumbsup:

At our current rate of folding (see the new, detailed statistics link in the Deadmen Teams section) we should continue to move up the rankings for a few hundred places yet - but it will then start getting *much* harder to improve the ranking!

Good work team, go forth, recruit, borg and fold more for team 33597.......
