Some of them have jumped the gun a little - DPC is already ahead in production for the day by 700,000....

They had 1 user join with over 600k though.

Still an impressive number of new users today

Ya I sure we will see a lot of :dump: from the cows for the first 7 to 10 days
But after that they will run out of :dump: and it should show there normal output

[[DPC]PeSr]

Har har, after seven or ten days, there will be another FP posting, and we'll attract 200+ more members.

Remember DF/ECC2/TSC lads.

Remember DF/ECC2/TSC lads.

I remember DF very well.

I remember uploading millions of points to hold you off, by staying up until 3AM local time.

I remember to blood of thousands of dead cows on the grass, as our SWAT teams came in to get stuff ready for the barbecue.

I remember how the sunset on the last day was blood red.

I remember how we never lost.

And I will stay up till 3AM once again if I need to.

No Frickin Cow is going to stop Free-DC.

History confirms this.

While I like to hide in RC5 & DPAD & UD & other projecs of that sort, I did install FAD just to hold you off.

"None Shall Pass!"

Do I need to make up the diagrams again, or will you actually understand this time. Bear powered plasma cannons BBQ cow meat fast.

You'd better pick up your gauntlets, 'cause I can already feel the ground trembling over here :fireboun:
Let's see if you can win this 'fight' too. Let the best team win! :)

[pain_inbutt]

Hmm arent new cows called calves and if memory serves me right calves dont produce anything :Pokes:

As i see it being an innocent by stander you got to many calves and not enough cow's.:moon:

[rsbriggs]

I think calves are best at producing veal cutlets....

Not a cut that you'd normally barbeque, but good nevertheless.
I'm thinking a wine and garlic tomato sauce and lots of parmesan cheese here, and served with a nice glass of suitable wine - maybe a blush or rosé.

Yumm! Veal Parmesan...

[LAURENU2]

So far DPC is outputing 4,264.5 points per active member
F-DC is outputing 43,116.8 points per active member
Even TSC has a better points per member rate they are doing 10,150.4 Per member

I am not sure these cows are fat enough to even THINK of BBQ-ing And I am not even sure they have any milk

just remember u want from a 3816 Million (FDC) to a 748 million (DPC) ratio (on 16-12-2003 the start when we could choose between SoB or DF) to a 21436 Million (FDC) to a 19930 millio (DPC) ratio on the last day 5-10-2004. (With note that Your team had some teamhoppers that joined u on the last day)

thats 510% to 107% in just 10 months

Just give us some credits ^^ :bonk:

And compare 10-4-2005 to this day on FaD

FreeDC- DPC - %
266 mil - 100 mil - 266%
360 mil - 162 mil - 216%

Were growing towards u, after a month we'll look were we stand. and after 6 months well look how great the after touch was ok? ;)

:neener:

[LAURENU2]

This Is FUN :neener:
Good work to all that play:Pokes:
May the :dump: -'s rule the day

[LAURENU2]

I thought your Stampede was going to start on 6/1/05 FAD time
I see a lot of your members doing :dump: -s that they have been saveing up for a week now
It is another 14 hrs till FAD says it it is 06/01/05
So hold your horses or I meen Cows
:thumbs:

[[DPC]PeSr]

We're not allowed to flush savings during the stampede, so we flush them before we start.

[Fozzie]

I have :dump: my work to start afresh and ready to keep ahead of those dastardly BearHunters. :moon:

[FluffyChicken]

Well we can keep an eye out to see if they've been hording jobs just for the first (I hope not, doesn't really benefit FaD) or are doing it properly

http://stats.find-a-drug.com/png1.php?TeamID=2020,2047,2094&Lines=30&Type=Points
This will always show the last 30days Points for TSC!, FDC and DPC (2094, 2020, 2047)

huff... puff... huff... - Finally got back from my ultra secret spy mission.
I took some quick pictures and I almost got caught once!

Below is the gateway into the COW training camp

Here you can see how they get recruits into the camp. GAMES!!!

Here's one of them in their secret exercise room

Yes, we will be crushed. Somewhere around March or April of next year, it looks to me like.

Is that really all you guys have got? All 838 of you? Against our 39 active crunchers? :confused: :rotfl: :rotfl: :moon:

[rsbriggs]

Don't much appreciate the language, and don't think it was called for. Someone needs to edit the post and/or ban the user. If you want to use profanity, use it on your own forum, not ours.

What? It's OK for DPC to recruit by the hundreds, but let one person join Free-DC and you start swearing about it????

Hey - someone ask Joker! if he wants to join Free-DC... :D

[Fozzie]

Looks like we are all chilled now.

:flame: :gangpunch

[[DPC]Mobster]

I apologize for young PeSr. It's his endless enthousiasm that put things a bit out of perspective. I'm sure he didn't mean it the way it looks. :blush:

We all want this to be a fair battle without calling each other names and we have done great so far. So keep up the spirits and the numbers. FaD is the major winner over here and let's just enjoy the race.

And by the way, keep bringing in those new members with huge scores. In the end it won't be enough anyway ;)

[rsbriggs]

Personally, I think he meant it exactly the way he said it. If it were up to me, he'd be at least suspended from posting here for some period of time. (But, it isn't up to me.)

Weekend project - building up a few more AMD 2900+ boxen. Just waiting for some OCZ CL-2 RAM to arrive next week to finish them off and put them on-line... Every little bit helps, I guess....

Perhaps he meant it, but do you gain anything by suspending him (just irritated by teamhoppers which is a bit unusally to us). I don't think so.
You should know if somebody joins DPC, they're not teamhoppers (we don't like that) and they stay with DPC.
But I do have to say also that if somebody joins FDC they stay there usually.
The question is however : Why join FDC later instead of when you start runnin' the project?
Anyway, there's one winner and that's FAD :D

[Helix_Von_Smelix]

When i joined Free DC i was teamless.

Suspension from this Forum would teach the person that the Behaviour is not acceptable. I don't think anyone can say they will stay with a team for ever.

Well, check the DC history.
Then you know why he reacted the way he did.

No excuse, just reason.

[ronbo54]

Looks like about 10 people have team hopped onto DPC this year already. I really don't care. I just hope we're doing some good here.

I was teamless for a couple of years before joining Free-DC.

Totally agree with you that the winner is FAD (and all of us if we find some good stuff with this)

Congrats to Fozzie for :Pokes: you into a stampede in FAD

[rsbriggs]

It was the original "F" word usage and it's direction that I was objecting to and which was inappropriate to the forum.

Might better take a look at your own (DPC) membership history before coming here and throwing around swear words at people - which, by the way, is not acceptable here under ANY circumstances so far as I know. We like to think this is a generally family-friendly site.

In any event - the post was edited and the objectionable material withdrawn. So far as I am concerned, the matter is over and done with.

But I wonder if some people aren't taking things a little too seriously - this is supposed to be a friendly competition. :|punch|: ooops, I meant :kiss:

Lighten up - you'll need to keep those spirits up so you aren't completely devastated when you finally come to realize that

I presume you mean team Grutte Pier ?
The active members of that team joined DPC as a whole team to become a subteam which makes competition more fun.
Myself, I don't like teamhoppers comin' to our team, because for competition it doesn't reflect the wright picture.
However, there can always be a reason to join another team.

As I stated before, the winner is always FAD !

So, everybody just keep crunchin'.

He MAB, i was about too say the same.
We weren't growing alone and we where always a bit DPC.

It just seemed that people where staking there points with other teams and just in the highed of competion switched team.
A bit like the feeling i have with snipers that camp in Tactical ops :|ot|: .

But in actual new points DPC is faster.
Don't prelong your suffering :dump:

TBH not at all.

I was expecting you guys to be doing far more than what you are.

I was thinking more like the output that we saw from you in DF. Now I know that MrMr was putting out nearly 1/3rd of that and she/he/it can't run FaD due to OS restriction.

However I really thought you guys would do better.

We haven't even pulled some of our big hitterrs off other projects as we see no reason to.

AS I said before DPC is a spent force, your best times are behind you and you are on the steady slope down to DC mediocrity.

Your time has come and now you should move aside as Free DC soars to the zenith of DC domination.

:crazy: OK so got a bit caried away there but you get the jist.

Err... you just more or less proved Fozzies point there.

But as a DPC bull with an office farm with old cows grazing I have to agree tho, I had expected a little more too but then again, output is rising and is 5 times as much as it was 3 months ago so the stampede announcement did its thing... get more puters crunching for the good cause :)

At a far distance he notice an old limping bear. When the bear approaches him, he can see the scars the
battle left on the bear, who is suprisingly younger then he first thought. The bear sits down on a big rock,
and after a while he starts to tell his story: "It all started in the year 2005..."

One of the FaD teams I'm part of.. is 1/700th the population of DPC; yet had 1/100th the production of DPC the last time I checked..

Does FDC have a similar or better ratio of population versus production compared to DPC? Either course to big contributions to FaD is very welcome.. :)

I agree, the output hasn't risen that much like in DF but the stampede has only just begon. After all we are a team of volunteers so we don't ask the few big users we have to switch, if they want to they will do so. It's true that MrMr can't participate as he ran a SGI machine which uses SGI Irix as OS, allthough we don't know if he would get the machine to be allowed to run Fad if it would be possible.

Also another big user SF has sort of quit after the ending of DF he also had a big farm at his disposal, allthough he has started crunching FaD right now it's not with the power we once saw.

Anyway, we'll see who will come out on top :) at least it is a boost for the project :cheers:

i think the saying mentions lots of smoke and not a lot of fire..... for some reason that springs to mind :p

[Theadalus]

Hmm, very quiet over here, is it because of Free-DC popped up in our Opportunities (http://fad.tastats.com/team_stats_history.php?Team=Dutch+Power+Cows&t=LastMonth) list? :Pokes:

[Bok]

Estimates like that are very difficult to calculate to be honest....

Considering we outproduce XPC by around 1M per day, so in 200 days we'll be (theoretically) say 120M behind them and you'll be on terms with us, do you think it would take you another 700 days to catch them.....

My stats say differently

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamrank.php?proj=fad&team=Dutch+Power+Cows

Again, probably not accurate as it's all highly skewed by team movement and such and only based on last 7 days average, so this is in no way a reflection on TA's excellent stats :)

Woo's might be the most accurate I believe... at http://www.fadstats.com

Keep up the good work anyway, we'll see closer to the time...I was just in fact revelling in the final DF stats which I put back up today :p

That's about right though - people start dropping off after a couple of weeks....

If we bothered to bring even two thirds of our members to FaD we would urinate all over them.

Adios cows, shame you couldn't walk all that talk.

:weggy:

[Shish]

No wonder they aren't doing much.

Not that we are doing much better not even hitting 2 million a day these days.

That kinda scuppers our :stomp: XPC target.

Seems reminiscent of pulling the legs off of Daddy Long Legs when I was young. Pointless and cruel. We should all contribute to FaD as we can and not let others make us feel bad because we have maximized what we can do with what we have.

Seems to me we should all revel in the success of everyone to eradicate these awful maladies.

Just an opinion

You miss the point completely Mondobyte.....

[Fozzie]

to join Anandtech you need to have your sense of humour surgically removed.

:Pokes:

;)

[n7vxj]

Mondo what we ALL do is for the greater good, however, that does not mean we can't have fun, and keep things lively along the way!! That keeps things interesting!!! :rotfl:

[LAURENU2]

Hi Mondo
We are just useing a cattle prod on DPC in hopes it will make them want to produce more in fad It is like painting a big target on Free-DC for then to Aim at.

Mondo Come Join Us on our quest to take over the world :rotfl: :thumbs: :rotfl:

It's just one team taunting another for fun ;)

I have to admit I expected more output as well but FDC knows it's just a small delay :p before they get trampled by DPC :smoking:

[rsbriggs]

Taunt...

Didn't you just pin Fozzie on to the DPC sign though :crazy: Seemed a far bmore effective taunt than paint ;)

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Fluffy, leave the bear out of this.. unless you wanna end up "wokkain' this way..." I know bad pun but who cares..
:nicow: :nicow:
:cow: . o O ( :umm: )
If you're hearing funny noises, it only the DPC in the lower field attempting to think!
hmm an ARS Tech member with a sense thats about as rare as an honest Euro MP...

[bwkaz]

"Pulling their leg" does not mean "pulling their leg off". It basically means "joking with them, taunting them, etc.".

Note to self: Self, idioms don't always carry across very well, especially in text-only mode. Have to remember that.

No I would not do that to Fozzie I just threatened to call him into action if they kept letting there output drop:harhar:
