I second this idea!

yes, point diversion really means nothing, we all fold for stanford after all. just one big happy family, right.

unless you are us

dinos and monkeys are in the same family? wow

That's not a dino... That's a dragon.

are you sure, its very small, pay no attention to the bad breath, taco hell can do that for anyone. and play both ends against the middle as well. adding credence to the old expression, blow it out your a**.

Looks like go time!

The Fake Monkeys are revving up!

If there is any kind real control on this thing, their points before noon Pacific today shouldn't count toward the contest (and that's still two hours away).

They won't count. I'll post screenshots from Stanford on what the baseline of points to be used by each team is.

I hear ya loud and clear. We should take our own snapshot of EOC at 12:30 to see where the real starting line is.

BAM!

Put this in your first post Lodis.

Ok, here's the official rules with the prize:

1. First team to accumulate 500,000 points from the start time wins.

2. Start time for the contest is Friday, May 5 th at 12pm, Pacific Daylight Time.

3. The victor gets to claim the lucky jaded monkey as the prize. Tales have been told of untold wealth and fame that comes with this. The victorious team is allowed to display in any honorary fashion the jaded monkey, the losing team is forbidden to display it. The losing team is bestowed the dreaded monkey's paw, which is said to be cursed. People have been known for have very bad luck with this paw

4. Team captains are as follows: Garynator from overclockers and Spider Monkey from MaxPC.

5. In the event of a close race, the Stanford site will be considered the official source for points information.

6. Have fun and keep it positive.

My apologies for cutting it so close to the start time but I didn't much response in emails the past few days from either team captain.

I agree on these terms with two stipulations.....

1. Garynator must ensure that all of the posts on his team's forum containing the Jaded Monkey are removed by next Monday. I saw some today, so I know they are out there.

2. Points accumulated @ 12:00 today are included in the base/start line. They do not count towards the 500K. That is the best way to do things in the event that we have a close race (as in we both are close to the finishline with only one WU dump left to cross the line at the end of the race.

Please get his blessings or at least PM him this--> http://www.maximumpc.com/forums/viewtop ... 389#443389

Can you give me examples of what you're talking about in reference to the jaded monkey thing? The only one I'm aware of is in the prize discussion thread over there. I can't give guarantees on that as it is their forum but I'll do what I can.

The second issue-I'll make sure that the 12pm update is included. Stanford updates theirs every hour instead of every three hours if I'm not mistaken. Fair enough though.

30 minutes to go!

And the race is on!

The starting points for each team are:

folding_monkeys: 1,074,580 points
spider_monkey: 1,018,228 points

I'll post screenshots when I get back to the office this afternoon so there's no question.

Have a great race

I think that is where I saw it.

They should not have a problem with it, since the prize was their conception to begin with.

Thank you for being the facilitator of this Kingfish. You rock!


Huh, I must have forgotten that.... Its been a long time since I used anything other than the EOC stats.

Its on like Donkey Kong up in this motha!!!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!â„¢

Go Monkeys GO!

I hope you're cheering for our Monkeys
