    Talking Nice race

    There is a nice race atm between ZaphodB, FreeDC Hydra Central, Moogie, myself (the-mk), Kosh and Steve. I think I should throw in another box to make things clear!

    I would suggest more than one computer:

    Code:
    C:\>type d:\distribfold\progress.txt
    Building structure 1 generation 237
    49 until next generation
    237 generations buffered
    Best Energy so far: 10000000.000
    Once it finishes a complete cycle I'll be dumping. For your information (and my entertainment): 237 generations == 125765 points. But it was ( ) an interesting race.

    OK, you got me, Kosh! And I wont see you in my rear mirrors anymore therefor you're too fast

    But I more thought about the other people with about the same output (Moogie, Steve, ...). I think we change(d) ranks like other people change their socks

    You don't change your socks?
    Agent Smith was right!: "I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell! If there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it."

    LOL! We are constantly changing spots. Kind of fun. Never know where I'll be after each update.

    And I changed about 10 times my rank in the last 72 hours! (as you can see here if you click within the next hour)

    That ranks were not so different, because it only were 23 and 24, but I changed them a lot (more often than my socks the last 3 days )

    I can attest to the fact that MK had NOT changed his socks for a while. We've been passing each other the past few days so I should know. I'm not giving him any time. Though..it looks like he's ramped up production a bit now so maybe he can do some laundry.

    Must have been a terrible smell when you passed by

    My ramped up production are only nice working proteins... I didn't throw in another machine atm

    The laundry bag is full of terrible smelling socks. I think I should burn them But before I should sort out the wash-able socks so I need not buy new ones for a moment

    Next target: about 5,000 points away, FreeDC Hydra Central, so take out your breathing protections

    NiNeball is going to pass me in the next few stats-updates only about 800 points behind me.

    Rank 25 for ever? No just until we've passed Beyond

    Hey the-mk . . .I'm here to get you!

    Well . . .I am not trying to start anything the-mk, but . . .well, I guess you saw my plans over at the official stats page, "I am gonna pass you wirthi and the-mk is next". Hmm . .. I just looked at the stats again and I am behind wirthi, so I guess he "is" worthy after all. But I am also gonna beat (not chase) you as my new goal the-mk!

    Nothing personal . . .but I just want to stomp your ass, no kidding! Are you up to it?

    Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    When I came home I was just wondering why I'm not at rank 25. I scrolled down the stats-page and didn't find my name. Then I scrolled back up and


    I must have had a couple of very good generations!!!

    Rank 21! I overtook four (!!!!) people within 7 hours! And I'm violet now

    Which breath? (Is there someone behind you or is it just a ghost? ) I'm about 40,000 points behind you (that means far away). I think you can see me in your rear view mirror but I don't think you can feel my breath. You can't even hear my breath. Therefor I have to come closer (5,000 or so)

    I think I must my offline machine so you can say that you feel my breath

    Oh dear god long random();[*]

    What did I do to get those worse generations?

    What kind of oblation do I have to give you that I'll get better generations?

    I will wait until the generation-250-to-0-switch or the software update (what ever happens earlier)

    Amen

    Right now I have NiNeball breathing down my back and so I'm praying to the good generation god right now, though that would only hold him for one or two updates.

    Didn't anyone tell him he doesn't want to be down wind of me after a Taco Bell lunch?

    the-MK: Can't you do something to stop him?


    If all else fails, will bring in Sponge Bob and your smelly socks...and my trusty sidekick to run interference.

    I know that you all want to come for me! And you will come and you will overtake me! Until then I'll pray to long random(); for some good generations

    But at the moment I want to celebrate that I'm on rank 21!

    BTW: who is that Spongebob? Do I have to know him? Tell me!

    I am presently at #31 and in a heated battle with Richard Clyne for the #30 position.

    p.s. What is there to "knowing" who Spongebob is anyway? Most of those "in the know" know who he is, just like they know who Bob Dobbs is.
