    Besides the fact that we do not have a captain yet; What projects do we or are we running? I switched EVERYTHING over to HFCC & HCC at Daves request and is the most important to most of us here; However I have noticed a drop in ppd due to it

    Same here Maybe it's because the WUs are much bigger.

    I also noticed a BIG drop..
    On the other I emailed WCG on the team capn deal over two weeks ago.
    The protocol is they try to contact him and if not then we can select a team captain..
    I'm going to contact them again right now and I'd like to toss out a name for Team Captain:
    Sierra_Bound
    He's earned it in more ways than i could list.

    I thought the team captain(or original) was around-I thought I saw some posts in the photo section, but I obviously have the wrong guy?

    I'll second Sierra, if he'll do it. I think he has easily earned it and would be perfect.

    If not, I'll accept the nomination to get us in the challenge. It would be an honor.

    In any case, we have to move quick. (Although, even if we come a few days late into the challenge, I think we won't have a problem.... )

    Would this mean I would have to get some more equipment going and quit slacking off???

    Regards,
    Bob

    Good point, but... does the Team Captain really have to do anything?
    I thought it was more of an honorary position.

    I emailed WCG again tonight on this issue saying it's been over two weeks and we'd like to get into the Christmas Challenge and need a team captain to do so.

    Ditto!

    And if we're a few days late... no big deal. Just give the other teams a chance...

    And yes bob - get off you couch and quit slacking! You're such a disappointment...
    I over doubled my performance, MM over doubled his max number of cores in a rig... all while you were busy twitting around with your little thread...
