Due to requests, we now have a forum dedicated to taunting other teams and other teams taunting us.

What is a "Tanut"? And how does it go bad? Confused

Talk (nicely) to the rabbit...he is very good at taunting (or tanuting) when he is nibbling on someone.

Ah you two, not counting the SETI.USA person, joined after the taunts gone hoirribly wrong in Genome@Home. That was with the Dutch Power Cows, as we traded jabs and positions back and forth until the project ended and we won. Then caused massive havoc in Distributed Folding, changing stats and more, until we left that for Folding@Home, and angered the Cows again.

Well how do you taunt? KWSN style is the following, this is not endorsed by the mods at all, is this. First, in a project find a team nearby that we are either A) out producing and will pass in a few weeks, B) a team coming up from behind and they are outproducing us (claim they will never pass us, even though we do not stand a chance). C) or a team that is near to us and producing at about the same level.

You then go over to their forums and make a thread after you have registered. I prefer KWSN in the nick field somewhere if possible. Make a crazy signature, use as many similies as you can in the first post. Then taunt the living daylights out of them. You can make fun of their forums, their team rules, how much their computers can shrub, make the post have no sense (my personal favorite), invite them to visit our forum, dare them that they can not do better in project whatever; this can all be done in one post. Generally one person will make the first post, be sure to explore the forum for a bit to get a feel of the place and stuff to use (this is how Team Picard invited me over after a taunting session to make their forums look busy). After you have made the first post link it here in a new thread to show the Knights where to go (us older ones get lost easy), then others shall follow. When another Knight is posting and you are responding to the Knight in the other forum always refer to them as Sir <nick> and make up a ridicoulus long title and fancy language, quote the Knightly Code of Conduct (KCoC), which we make it up as we go along anyway; so be sure to make it funny and no sense whatsoever.

Now as Sir Ohiomike and Sir Mohrorless have not done this before on their own I issue this challengen to them. Do this exact thing in any project, preferably BOINC, you want and do this to another team and we will see where it goes. This will bring back good memories, and some bad; got banned from a few forums after one post (they didn't like my talk about railroads). So go out there and taunt, the most anyone can do here is have Sir Fart ban you from visiting aby other teams forums (which happened to me after I visited the Dutch Power Cows and taunted them, and I still can't visit again because I can't read Dutch).

So go ahead and make me proud Sir Ohiomike and Sir Mohrorless.

Aha, the gauntlet has been tossed.

Which "Tanuter-in-training" is brave/foolhardy/loonie enough to pick it up?

You can count on support from a few other loonies once you've started a bun-fight (but don't pick too hopeless a case!).

All #ni-2 to your elbow.

Blo*dy H*** , there's a Kow in the forea !!

Risen Ercwee , Sir O'Farty forcibly' made an amendment to the CoKC (Code of Knightly Conduct ) specifically book 17 , chapter 748 , page 2134 , para 17 , line 334 1/2 (Edition 12- revision 8 - 7th November adenum ) thats states quite clearly :
" No Nuts today "
Therefor , clearly you should re-post yesterday for clarity and hence gain the divided attention of concerned Knights .

Regds Grizzly

PS : The Knights never joined other teams (along with their points ) in order to get the last team(s) into the top 10 in Genome . Never .

Well , hardly ever . Our actions forced a change in the DC scoring world , still in force today Rolling Eyes
(And much mirth was framed)

Very Happy
BTW Do we have to send you a 3rd login to our forums Wabbit? Wink

Add. D) Tanut the living daylights out of a team currently in 1st place which outproduces you 1000% each single day.

And when all is done bundle all posts and put them in a video 'When tanuts go bad Volume XX'
I'll am eagerly waiting for the next video #Popcornsmile
The force of the loon(e)y magnet may catch all tanuted loon(e)y people that have posted here.

I was about to launch a hopeless taunt at Team Norway in Poem (they have already passed us and have a bigger RAC)....then I remembered I am not a viking and don't speak Norwegian. So there was no point.

The gauntlet has been picked up and I wandered over to Boincsynergy to ask them if it was their Cosmology glove. Oh, and while I was there I taunted them in Cosmology as we will pass them in about 4 months. (http://www.boincsynergy.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=11)

Sir Mohrorless a worthy post, but please make a seperate thread for this new taunt, or else all will go sheep and get wooly or confusing.

See thos Kows never leave now, and how can I log in again if I can't read the email I get to help me log in?

You would go and pick one of the biggest teams out there, wouldn't you.

Oh, well, Cosmology is a big scoring project, so I suppose we'll have to get some serious* shrubbing going.

The point is to take on the impossible and make light of it because we do not know any better.

DO not under any circumstances, Join the other team and shrub for them out of pity. This never ends well, unless you have a really insulting name and make it into their top ten....like "FM_Pities_KWSN"

Sir Jbyram2 wasn't that you, you felt sorry for us and shrubbed for us and now you can never leave. Because no one can find the exit.
