(As agents report in from the field we will add their findings to this briefing)
11-09-05 - Agent Martijn:
Dutch Power Cows are saving for their New Year's dump. We should have a small surprise for them when they dump! I'm saving already.

11/03/05 - Agent Rodzilla:
Some very clever espionage work from one of our imbedded agents has given us the intelligence we need to complete project "Mother Cow". We can now peer into the inner workings of the DPC cell and extract vital info at will. Operation "Shredded beef" (OSB) is now under way.

For the sake of expediency, we also offer you the option to relay your position to us so we can promptly drop a nuke on your location. :fact:

[Korpse]

Shouldnt all the info be compiled in the you know what section?

you know, so they dont know what we know about them :p:

[Martijn]

Shouldnt all the info be compiled in the you know what section?
This is the 'you know what' section now ;)

And btw, why shouldn't they not know what we know about them? (is this grammatical correct? :D )

[Rodzilla]

LMAO :lol:

Perkam

You like that?! I was for real... :para: Don't get caught!

Martijn and myself put some real thought into this thread... I think it can be a great help!

:D You going to be able to help us out Perkam??

And yes this thread is public on purpose... we need fresh meat for the grinder from the non-crunching XS family of friends :stick: If we can intercept a dangerous cow plot we may have a chance to counteract with the communities help.

[Korpse]

no its not, i meant the other you what section :p:

edit - nevermind :)

[bullet2urbrain]

umm martijn... i think we should be a little less obvious than registering with the same name we use on XS.. not just adding a 13 to the end.. its pretty blatant what we did...


carry on soldiers.

[Vapor]

I agree with Korpse....shouldn't this be out of sight from unwanted onlookers? I just opened this up in IE and viewed the thread without logging in :shrug:

[WesM63]

Secret Agent Wes checking in. I've learned that my cow talk is not quite up to par. Does XS provide a "Cow talk 101" class? Either way.. i'm on the mission :)

[Vapor]

Yeah, I'll participate in scouting as well....I'm illiterate though ;)

[Martijn]

I agree with Korpse....shouldn't this be out of sight from unwanted onlookers? I just opened this up in IE and viewed the thread without logging in :shrug:

They already know me there as Martijn13, no probs at all. They know I visit XS ;). After all I also have a Martijn13 account here, but I never use it...

The cows are.... telling jokes!
not even about us,... about COWS........

it's confusing!!!! :p:


They are clueless of what massive force is about to hit them

They really are strange, are they?

[Ugly n Grey]

This project may be the most critical of the year, overtaking other such valued exercises such as Project Peking Duck or the Fanboy Stomp. Please be careful and look out for cow patties in which you may get stuck. Don't worry about having a cow or two notice your presence, it takes the whole herd to stampede. Beware of the tail end of the cow, even the most powerful of the XS agents cannot stand up to the dreaded METHANE ATTACK.

If you find yourself in close quarters with several cows at once, trickery and subterfuge is your only hope. Shake a little feed grain in a can and yell "Milking Time!!" if you become cornered. If you find cows paying attention to you too closely, merely wander around for a moment licking your nostrils and you will fit right in. Be certain you leave all BBQ utensils and BBQ sauce behind before going in, cows find these items threatening.

It's a strange land, there are no McChoke_n_Pukes from which to refuel, pack you pockets with trail mix and leave the beef jerkey at home. There is plenty of fresh milk, however the source may be questionable and we recommend sitcking to a steady intake of caffeinated beverages.

Fugger and Chilly1 disavow all knowledge of you from the moment you leave the site here at XS. Remember if you are captured the only thing you need to tell them is "MOOOOOOOO"

I understand the reason for having this public, but I still believe this thread should be kept in that "special" place. With that said, sign me up for Recon!

[ex2cib]

thats what the mafia specializes in, undercover intelligence gathering and the occasional hit, just give us a ring @ 1-800-KILLCOW or our new number 1-888-EATBEEF ;)

[IYP]

ive cooked a live snake before in a fire, but never a cow....hmmm... i hope the same thing wont happen to the cow though....the snake...well.... :explode: .







and before someone asks, no we weren't eating the snake, me and some friends were camping and a 6foot snake swam over to our side of the river. he tried to climb out of the fire, but we just threw him back in. and it really did blow up. :D

Small update: DPC are saving for their annual dump for the 1st of January...

[Entity_Razer]

yhea also DPC is having trouble getting 30 flusher, they have lost hope in the project or don't care no more.......

Takes the punch out of the whole thing but I also agree with martijn, Gaol is espesially buffering so expect SERIUS flush on Jan 1!


We need to pas them by christmas AT LEAST if we are to have any chance of beating the flushing!!!!!!

Output is the key at the moment so everyone buffering, DUMP THOSE BUFFERS AND CRUNCH LIKE NEVER BEFOREEEEEEEEE

[VisiV]

Dutch...... ive grown to hate dutch (the language) ever since i was playing SOF2.................... and I cant even play MTA:VC or VC:MP without running into it.......


LoL. But yeah.


Also wth is everyone talking about (flushing and buffers) ?

[bullet2urbrain]

flushing is when one team hordes and stockpiles a HUGE amount of candidates.. like think of DDTUNG going 3 days without producing.. then all of a sudden he lets loose with 3 days worth of production on one day..

thats how DPC does things.. they have very low Daily production because their "big Guns" are stockpiling for massive days.

where here we produce our hearts out everyday..thus we catch the silly walking hamburgers.

[Martijn]

Can't we get DDTUNG as far to buffer the last 10 days of the year, and then dump all of his cands on jan 1st? That would be around 110k cands :D


Everyone start buffering now!!! Dump them on Jan 1st!!!

[[XC] moddolicous]

Stopping an active cruncher to buffer wouldnt do much. Instead, people should stop adding nodes to their account, and on christmas add them. That way, the comps are crunching, there is not as much danger as the regular way of buffering (taking the comps off the web and letting them sit).

[Martijn]

I never had any probs with buffering "offline"...

But whatever, what are we going to do to get them at the 1st of january?

[Entity_Razer]

simple, crunch like hell

nothing else, nothing more.

^^seconded! that is a great motto and words to live by.

I totally agree. Stopping our production and buffering offline does nothing... it doesn't gain us a single point in the end.

That... and it's very dangerous. One little file "resultQueue.dat" get corrupt and your cands are all gone! Or... if you crunch a bad cand it can get put in the resultQueue.dat and the upload will stop at that cand when you do your flush.

A much better way to do it is to wait till you add a new crunching rig... register a new node... but never add it to your list @ D2OL.com. This will keep your results safe! They will be uploaded to the node stats... but because the node isn't in your account they won't register with you or the team until you ad it to your list. As soon as you add it the points will all appear. It will make for one fine day!

I'm doing this very thing.

[Martijn]

...starts uploading his cands straightaway...

Scared, better be safe :(

[WesM63]

I'm always scared Martijn, crunching on dial-up i'm afraid one cand is gonna get screwed up and mess up my enitre work for one day. (I usually only upload them 1time a day)

Might as well have my first thread here be in support of eating some more beef!

I think that the cows have been getting drunk off of their success thus far...

but have you ever heard of the Japanese cows that were fed sake to tenderize them? I think the cows will taste that much better when the slaughter comes:toast:

Adding my OC'ed 3000 to the team as well as my laptop.

I may also start *accidentally* installing the client on every computer in my dorm. No one will notice if I install it along with D2OL Daddy as a service.

As long as it's desktops, I say go for it, but don't install on laptops that you don't own, because it'll wittle the battery life to about 30 minutes. :up: Welcome to XS and to the Team!:welcome:

Bump: We need this more than ever, and with a team germany, I think there should be an increase in agents.

[MRBIGSHOT]

im trying but having little sucess my dutch is non exsistant

[heater918]

From my understanding they are happy that DPC ICA was able to hold us off and i think they plan on doing so atleast untill the 1st. It seems ICA are the only ones with any buffers. Of course this could all be wrong.

It would be beautiful if that would succeed today also still, then Xtreme Xtreme have been entirely disappointed;)
ICA are today also well busy!
To let we idd hope that ICA_COWS saving to keep back XS up to 1 January! That must be simply striving, afterwards we look at, however, how we the number can 1 position catch..!
I give to D2ol few hopes more at DPC. hopelijk XS come look at also ns on a another project, are able ns we them there show who is still the boss

^^^ There gonna show us who the boss is. Ha BRING IT ON!!!
