Anything I can do to help Jeff??
One thing to mention... it's kind of like a sneak-peak at one of the contests within the contest.
I am going to ask the following question during the contest... and it will be for a $25 Gift Certificate to NewEgg.com. The most creative/funny/sneaky way will win the prize.
"What is the strangest way that you've borged someone's machine to increase your production for this contest?"
(and just to be clear, "borged" means "installed D²OL as a service so the owner of the machine doesn't really know it's there") :D
DISCLAIMER: Borging machines at work has been known to result in people getting fired. Be SURE you know what you are doing and/or ask permission before you attempt a borg. It's one thing to borg a friend's or family member's machine but do not blindly borg work related machines! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

that reminds me.. i really should get my second D2OL install on my P4 and install it on my laptop (P4 2.8) and dad's laptop (A64 3200+)
lol find a creative way to borg it! :lol: family and friends are fair game! :hehe:
I've got a good idea, I just now have to find the time to implement it.

10-25-2004, 06:40 PM
i will creativley borg dad lappy and dad's landlords pc ;-) just thinking how exactly.. because i COULD just ask them and install D2OL on their pc's but that wouldnt be any fun now would it ;-) lol
i will also borg my own laptop by geting my self extremely drunk and installing D2OL as a service and then the next day i wont know i did it!! how's that for a killer borg? hahaha
owen
Rodzilla
10-25-2004, 07:23 PM
:lol: get your self plastered and borg your own rig!!!!!! :ROTF: :rotf:
Let all remember that we can't have members breaking any laws... If you even think that you or someone else could get in trouble don't do it!!!!!
30 P4's would be most welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT! Only if they are non-privately owned/restricted use/corporate/mission critical computers!
And let's just steer totally clear of corporate servers! Even if you have permission... the boss isn't going to be happy if you overheat and toast a server! Just don't do it... we need cpu cycles but we don't need them at the cost of personal/business loss.
Be smart... be clean... and be legit! If I read about someone from XS in the paper I'll hunt you down myself and slap the crap outta ya :slap:!!!!!!!!
.:EDIT:. Not pointed at you at all Blergo! I should have mentioned this first! I just don't want to see anyone get in trouble!
Here are some basic rules. I'm a bit brain-fried right now so I just can't come up with anything else. :( If there are obvious things I'm missing, please let me know. :) And if there are issues that you think should be addressed, just shoot me a PM and we'll discuss it.
I included the XtremeSystems.org statements because officially... I have not approached anybody associated with XS.org about this contest. The lack of negative response made me assume that this contest is ok with XS.org. I still would like to keep those statements in the official rules because I feel it promotes the "team" aspect. I also do not want anything to come back against XS.org in case someone does something extremely stupid with the water setup or the CPU and fries their computer(or God forbid... themselves).
So, after saying that, here are the basics...
<Preliminary Rules> (work-in-progress)
- Contest is open to anyone and everyone willing to participate in the D²OL project for XtremeSystems.org.
- Contestants will earn ONE ticket per 250 conformers computed during the official contest which runs from 8PM(EDT) Friday, October 29th to 8PM(EST) Friday, November 5th.
- On Saturday, November 6th all tickets will be put into a hat and my 4yr old son will pick the winners.
- There will also be a couple prizes given away during the contest. Keep an eye on the D²OL forums for details during this time.
- XtremeSystems.org is NOT associated with this contest in any way. It is being put on by the XS.org D²OL team FOR the XS.org D²OL team.
- Prizes include shipping costs but do NOT include duties, import taxes, or any other costs associated with accepting a package in your country.
- Prizes come with NO WARRANTY provided by myself or any other persons who donated to this contest... which includes XtremeSystems.org. (items may have a manufacturer warranty, just ask and we will be able to tell you)
- You are entering this contest AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you are not willing to take 100% responsibility for the prizes you may win... please let me know and I will take you out of the contest. Anyone accepting a prize understands that myself and everyone associated with this contest can NOT be held responsible for any damage, injury, or death that occurs due to the prizes given away in this contest. Again... if you do not feel comfortable with this last statement... please let me know and I will remove you from the contest.

<SUB-CONTEST #1>
Prize: 25 free tickets for final prize drawing!
Contest: The first person to guess what number I'm thinking of between 1-47 will win 25 additional tickets to the final prize drawing.
Rules: One guess per participant and you must post your guess in this thread. Contest closes at 8PM EST tonight(Sunday night). If the number is not guessed by the end of the contest, the closest person to the number wins. If there is a tie, the closest number BELOW the winning number is the winner. You can not guess a number that has already been picked by someone else. Your message time stamp will be used in case two people pick the same number within a few minutes of each other. If an <EDIT> shows up in your message... you will be disqualified... NO CHEATING!!! ;)
(number is being picked now by me and sent to Rodzilla, our fine team captain, so he can verify the winner... and prove there isn't any funny business being done ;))

Damn jeff!!!! You must have a big hat to be able to fit 1,166 tickets in it! :lol:
I guess I didn't plan too good. :rolleyes: :lol: ;)
I'm going to change the drawing part a bit. Instead of actual paper tickets, people are going to get numbers in groups. The largest ticket winner will get the first group, say from 1-309, then the 2nd largest from 310-574, the 3rd from 575-690, etc. Then I'll have my son hit <enter> on http://www.random.org which will generate all the winning numbers.
It'll save a couple trees doing it that way. :lol: ;) I'll change the first post to reflect this.

<SUB-CONTEST #2>
Prize: Gentilly used 5-port 10/100 Switch (Donated by Rodzilla)
Contest: The first person to post a picture of a certain Looney Tunes character will win the 5-port 10/100 Switch.
Rules: One guess per participant and you must post your guess in this thread. Contest closes at when the character is posted, no time limit. Your message time stamp will be used in case two people pick the same character within a few minutes of each other. If an <EDIT> shows up in your message... you will be disqualified... NO CHEATING!!! ;)
(character was picked by Rodzilla, our fine team captain. I also know the character so I can verify the winner... and prove there isn't any funny business being done ;))

<SUB-CONTEST #3>
Prize: Thermaltake Crystal Orb & $25 via PayPal (Donated by Jeff & bachus_anonym)
Contest: The first person to get THREE new members to sign up and turn in work for our team in the D²OL project will win the above prizes.
Rules: You can get friends, family, co-workers, or housemates... it doesn't matter. Just get the word out about this project and get people involved.
Now... most of this sub-contest is going to be using the HONOR SYSTEM. Do not break away nodes of yours, make up someone's name, and then say you got them to join. That's cheating and definitely NOT the Xtreme Team way!!! All the people have to do is post here that you've referred them to this project and as soon as they show up in the stats and contribute at least 1 candidate(which is 20 conformers)... you will get credit for that person. Once someone gets three people to join and turn in some work... they will win.
Again, please... NO CHEATING!!! ;)
Good luck everyone!!! :toast:

Do the have to be running D2OL for how long??for always or just for a day or 2,3,4........10,or till the end of the contest.
The longer the better Rocker. If you can get them to agree to 2 weeks... then maybe after they see it doesn't slow down their computer they won't mind if you leave it on forever. ;)

Hey I have 2 friends that registered and and on D2OL but they cant post here cause they are awaiting account activation. Thanks just letting you guys know. Wardemon6969 and NOOB.
Guys... have the new people email me at spam@adventurevision.com . If they can also post here, have them do that too. And if they are going to email me because they don't have access to their new accounts here yet PLEASE post here and tell everyone that they are emailing me instead.
I didn't realize that XS.org required email verification to register. That kind of puts a damper on having people post here.
We'll work it out though... ;)

I notice that someone is using the community node that is setup in three of the installers... is that drew?
It appears Pulsar is the winner... we just need drew to upload some points first though. ;)
And to everyone who got people to join... try to get them to stick with it a bit longer. :stick: ;)

No that node was created on 10/29/04 so I dont think it is him.
Rodzilla
11-03-2004, 04:11 AM
I created it... It's for the installers I made...
3 of them are community installers... and the other 2 I have up are the personal node installers.

Will there be any more contests like this?
I'am pretty sure I will be able to get 30+ (P3 800 - P4 1.8ghz machines) computers running D2OL pretty soon for XS, in the near future (2-3 weeks perhaps sooner).

The "Laptop-Punisher" is a 800MHz PIIIm
I also have a dual PIII 867MHz rig in there too...
So that's 3 PIII nodes you can check out...
(Click on the node number for details)

Pulsar is the official winner of the sub-Contest #3. Sorry for the delay but a personal issue came up and I just didn't get around to posting that. PM me your shipping and PayPal information so I can get you your prizes. ;)
And everyone should still try to get people to at least try this project for our team. This will help us rocket up the charts(even quicker) and who knows... maybe one of the people who get involved has a son or brother or sister in-law or father who is an admin and likes the idea of D2OL. You never know where you'll make these contacts. ;)

Hmm, yesterday there was nothing on the page so I think PS2pcGAMER is working on it :)
I have all the starting stats in case they don't come back around. I plan to post some current stats later today once I sit down and figure them out.
<SUB-CONTEST #4>
Prizes:25 tickets to contest, 92mm Vantec Tornado, and $25 via PayPal (Last two donated by FDM & bachus_anonym)
Contest: The first person to guess one of THREE numbers I'm thinking of between 1-55 will win the 25 additional contest tickets. The second person to guess one of the three numbers will win the 92mm Vantec Tornado. The third person to guess one of the three numbers will win the $25 PayPal payment.
Rules: One guess per participant and you must post your guess in this thread. Sub-Contest #4 closes at 8PM(EST) on Sunday night. If the number are not guessed by the end of the contest, the persons closest to the numbers win. If there is a tie, the closest number BELOW the winning number is the winner. You can not guess a number that has already been picked by someone else. Your message time stamp will be used in case two people pick the same number within a few minutes of each other. If an <EDIT> shows up in your message... you will be disqualified... NO CHEATING!!! ;)
(numbers are being picked now by me and sent to Rodzilla, our fine team captain, so he can verify the winner... and prove there isn't any funny business being done ;))
Good luck everyone!!! :toast:

Sorry all for the delay.
I just created a new contest page.
http://dc.canyonlake.net/contestpage.html
The names that are grayed out are users who decided not to participate in the contest.
I still need to add in the bonus tickets.
*These are not official, they still need to be verrified by Jeff as I did lots of copying pasting*
I'll try to update them again in 7 or 8 hours and then again before the contest ends. After the contest ends, the final update will be uploaded.
Cool... no winners yet. ;)
And here is the only error I've caught with the start totals Jeff...
bachus_anonym...175,900
And then anybody know what happened to...
