I saw that our team had not done any team challenges yet. I think we should do some of them, just for the fun of it

Against whom would we do a challenge? The two teams in front of us would wipe us into the dust on daily PPD. There's no other challengers behind us that would be stupid enough to take us on....
EasyNews has been our traditional opponent. (Ranked #2) I could see us taking them on. Team 2CH, well that ain't gonna happen unless we get more than double our contribution.
LMK if you have any ideas on this. I'd be game for challenges too. I just don't see it for us....

+1.. a challenge would be nice for sure. Since nobody seems interested in pie anymore
Dont worry jcool I'm coming back!
I suggested our team join the WCG sponsored challenges sometime ago and noone seemed interested.

would you crunch if you thought it would save her life?
maybe it will!
So I'm sitting here thinking ... what do I need a challenge for ... I already crunch my rigs 24/7 ... and then it dawns on me ... the challenge would be to see if we can incent other teams to produce more.
Now, to Bob's point, what teams would even bother trying, wouldn't it take all the fun out if they new they couldn't win ... and then I had another thought ... how about we create a Team XS challenge ... basically we challenge all the other teams to see if they can beat us in combined points? I have not researched WCG challenge participation levels, a just a quick, off the cuff thought.
Other than that I would support participating in a challenge.
OK more crap coming ouch my mind ... how about a different type of performance challenge altogether ... they have them for points, runtime, and results ... how about a challenge to raise points per hour? Likely only another tech team would understand why / how to appraoch this but maybe we could use it to spread some "smart crunching" tips ... heck we might even learn something from another team :-)
What if we had a team challenge. Divide the XS team into 2/3 teams and see who has the highest points after a set amount of time.
(This would be kinda like what the F@H team did last year)
If only ddtung were able to join up with us again. then rank 2 would be in grasp again

The challenge should be to pass easynews...
Agreed. I'm working on it as we speak
Not a bad idea. We should be able to approach this w/o any problem. And hell yes, we should get some of their crunching strategy.
I'm also wondering where's DDTUNG right now Somewhere in HK? Maybe I will be able to find him. Yes, I'm from HK also
Nice, I will like to see some 16-thread p3nage going on
Naw, 16-thread was so last summer
Or how about 16 cores? - that's more like fall
For winter, I am aiming a little higher though... ok, enough hints dropped.
Wrong, and right (probably).
I would have thought the most important/ultimately rewarding challenge is in getting people in who are new to distributed computing.
How about a recruiting challenge?
Just a thought

Yes I know the point. I said let the challenge be to pass easy news, which hopefully would bring in more people. Rammie said EasyNews doesn't matter.
The challenge is to make our work meaningful= find a cure. The rest is just fun and games=entertainment. So I want to know how to make our work more meaningful?
Oh sorry, I misunderstood.
