The cows have increased their RAC, from a few days ago. I wonder, if most of their members switched to Rosetta? We were able to overtake, them a few days ago, but now ?.. It seems, like they want number 1 bad...!

dont worry about it, they are "stampeding"
definition of a DPC stampede
the process of bringing their entire country over to one single project so they can say they beat everyone on a single day. does nothing in the long run, just gives them 1 maybe 2 extra days before they are overtaken.
they do this by buffering work
if you notice their top producers for hte past few days have had lower outputs than normal, meaning they held back some of their work, they can do this for as much as 10 days i believe in R@H, basically all it is is inflating the numbers for one day
if XS or Free-DC were to attempt this, we could probably do @ least 100-150k more than DPC does today, because we have a stronger daily output. let them continue to buffer, it didn't work in d2ol, and it sure isn't gonna work in rosetta
Okay, I thought it was a permanent increase. My mind is at ease again.
OT: at least we have 94 members now, instead of the 90 we had on monday.

i wonder how long it'll be before DPC stumbles on this thread and tries to prove me wrong....
WELL...WELL....
I DARE YOU
The only thing they are going to stumble on is this universal translation....

there stampedes are much longer, up to 30 days or so
They can stampede all they want..There's a limit to what their P2-333's can produce. What will get them? Dedication,growth and sheer willpower!

Exactly... there rac is so high because of the large dump they made. It's kind of like a 7 day average... so it's artificially inflated.Quote:

New Members, New PC's..anything..try and up our daily by 10,000 for a start!
thats 20-25 average PC's..take 5 and think of who you know that can help!
We got a long battle ahead of us, the sooner we start, the easier it will be!
:soap:(Fall's on face jumping down from soapbox..Damn it blows getting older!)
DPC quoted me on their forums...how nice, ok ok, it wasn't a stampede, but it still wont help in the long run
and in reply to a post made over there, the reason we dont have more points than you in the last 28 days, is because we were at half power for at least half of that time, and the reason we arn't ahead of you for this week, is because of your little dump yesterday...
if you beat us regularly on daily production, that would be one thing, but saying you beat a team at less than half power and then having to pull a major dump to overtake.....(and by the way, most of your top producers in the days prior to that had lower outputs than normal, meaning you were all buffering up towards that day, so yesterday had some higher values than it shouldve actually been if you didnt buffer)
DPC = *yawn* :yawn2:

Its not time here at XS to start us asking everyone to run rosetta on their rigs. It might get annoying to some. On the other hand, if we were say #4 overall, then maybe we could start pushing. Its too bad Serlv, Plum Ugly and Redp5 are all crunching for XPC, that could be a nice 15k daily boost or so. Ohh well.
Let them do it... :lol: they don't have anything on XtremeSystems as a whole. They are going to get crushed!Quote:

What about both? Movieman has the most sales experience, and likes that pressure, Let him run with it. Mass email and a great big sticky
i wonder how long before DPC notices this thread.....
Here is an idea I have been thinking about today. Ask Fugger to host like a Dual Core RAC shootout for some sort of prize (AMD or Intel... but maybe divide classes by chip type and/or cooling). We could all pitch in for the prize(s) or maybe they can be donated by someone. Have everyone wanting to do this put their name on a list in a sticky. Once they start, they have 30 days (or longer.. whatever) to build up the highest RAC possible. (explain to them in the rules if they push too hard, the client will error and they are only wasting time that they could spend building their RAC with a more stable machine) Someone would have to be given the job of monitoring participants RAC and how many days they have been running, how many days they have left, etc. Set a deadline for all entries. Maybe even set up some nice prizes for top 3? top 5?
I'm sure it could use some work here and there... but I think it sounds promising if we could get enough people... and someone willing to monitor everyone's score.
What do you guys think?
good idea, except have multiple people to monitor RAC, could get hard for just one person....maybe rod could donate his ECS board ,lol
Yeah.. multiple people would probably be better... we would also have to watch for huge jumps in RAC from people figuring out they can merge machines. Also let them know we WILL notice and you will be DQ'dQuote:

EDIT: after watching the points build up, they might get hooked on stats like the rest of us and stick around.
EDIT EDIT: Multiple machines per person would be allowed, but only 1 prize per person. Highest RAC per machine would be looked at then.
The only prob with that 24,000 members is like a 1/3 have 0 posts. Check. I like the idea of that mass email though.
I would prefer a sticky thats visible no matter what forum you are in.. a mass mail would be obtrusive..
If we could put a score below our name or above Join Date or below Posts that would be a positive way to do it, too.
It may be obtrusive... but fugger said he would do it for us :D :clap:Quote:
