To the other addressed point (data center vs. home user) - this year no changes. But I invite all in preparation of a possible fourth event next year to make proposals for alternatives. Please use the contact form on event page or send me a PN. (Our brain trust is not so big ) |

Wow, they're gonna delete the "No Team" already? Good job moving that forward Blurf and branjo! Did I start this thing? Be careful what you say around here. Ni! _________________ [img]http://stats.free-dc.org/cpidtagb.php?cpid=6533a276b3a1dde393be350eb3cfda70&theme=16&cols=5/.png[/img]

having problems with my shrubber/only computer
can't decide if HD going bad or just a windoz thang

seen the BSOD several times

Great news about the No Team ... maybe the W0W! will become more about the teams. Maybe even a trophy for people who don't smell of elderberry. _________________

Sorry to hear that. However we do have a walloping 125 of 131 Knights with points on the board. Need to prod the last 6? Ni! _________________ [img]http://stats.free-dc.org/cpidtagb.php?cpid=6533a276b3a1dde393be350eb3cfda70&theme=16&cols=5/.png[/img]

Posted my observations and recommendations http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=75223&postid=1560311
ETA: my post has been hidden by moderator Zapped Sparky probably because I used word "bullshit" in it, so here it is:
Quote: | Quote: | The content of your post:

I see Groups as a bullshit - people join them according to expectation which one might win the race. I think Teams are more important - the teams recruit members to join WOW Event, not groups. The development of the number of The KNI!ghts Who Say Ni! proved it: 2 in 2012, 76 in 2013, 134 (so far) in 2014. This is a team spirit, not some-kind-of-so-called-Group-based-on-who-know-what-kind-of-non-relation-between-members.
Groups are non-important, Teams and Users are (regardless if the users are real people or datacenters).
Thanks you for such great challenge. Cheers, NI!
ETA: I demand (also backwards) the recognition for the team KWSN (finished 3rd last year and running 3rd this year so far) and I demand the recognition for the Knight Who Say NI! JumpinJohnny whos effort led in recruiting 132 Knights Who Say NI! for WOW Event in last 2 years. Thank you very much dear Sirs. |
Tried to post it again with BS instead of "bullshit" http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=75223&postid=1560323 , but not holding my breath _________________

Well, your post seems to be staying there. I guess it's best to steer clear of the expletives when making a point.
You DO have a fair assessment of the "Group" joining activity... this year, one person, (N.), even requested his group be changed after discovering (he'd) joined a "Group" that wasn't going to win the Space Race....
But I think all that can be ignored.
We get "Bragging Rights" and "Taunting Material" instead of a Trophy for our TEAM effort. I am super amazed that so many Knights chose to help out this year.
What a good showing! You folks have really proven what a TEAM can do... small shrubbers and shrubber farms. Everyone counts.
I lost my OS hard drive this week but am back on track today.
"Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!”
edit 8/22: Today they had to close the registration because some jerk registered a bunch of users without their knowledge or permission.
Next year I expect there will be some major changes in a number of areas for the Wow! 2015.
Knights = 136
3rd place Team position |

I am pleasantly surprised
Anyway, I expect from moderator(s) to change such words to the "appropriate forum language" directly into post(s), not to hide them (posts - they can hide words behind the stars) _________________

A truly awesome response to the "call to arms".
"Crunching farms" or "mega silly team members acting collectively"? I know which one I think is more impressive. This team also proves the truly international constants of silliness, herrings and males preferring "high heels"
And to those who foolishly deny we are the "true" winners of the "Seti Wow" event I have one simple reply:

Do we have any compromising pictures we could use as leverage, or will it be a Photo Shop job as usual?
We can easily obtain the services of a KWSN legend, remember the betting scam.

Dang! He's getting numbers out of a couple of those that equal my daily numbers. Although, I can't really afford 3 or 4 GTX680s to PC. |
