In the spirit of friendly competition (cont...)

Inspired by eddieate's thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=259562.

Who are your current friendly rivals? They can be on or off team XS. For me its always changing based on the situations and my output at the time. Right now my WCG friendly rivals are:

Stoneageman - For maybe ~2 months this summer i constantly just edged out SAM by a few PPD then he upgraded and started to blow me away. I started my upgrade and thought I would catch him but then his PPD kept shooting up and up and he's still getting the best of me SAM, i'm comming for ya!

Muddy101 - Much the same, I was edging him out for a bit before he suddenly started blowing me away with all the dualie's and hexa's

Hypernova - he was on our team for XS supercomputer week, then left and stopped WCG for a while but hes back now. With all the upgrades many of our teamates have done several memebers are keeping up with or topping hypernova ever day.

And with my target goal of 100,000 Boinc PPD I have my eye on ucfcohpa, not too much of a rival though since thats University of Central Florida's College of Heath and Public Affairs and its hard to pretend to have a rivalry with a department of a college. It would still be nice to top a department of a college with computers in my garage though


Anyone else have any friendly rivalries??

Still wiping the tire tracks off from when Stoneageman not only passed me but stopped, kicked sand in my face, then drove off laughing.
No way I can catch that guy..
Then I look over my shoulder and hear this freight train called the Muddy101 Xpress bearing down on me..
I feel like the late Rodney Dangerfield
" I just get no respect"

I didn't want to say it... but I think i'll get a nice bit of satisfaction to run you down and leave some tank tracks across your back too

[Bobsama]

Zedex? NKrader? TyCanadian? I'm coming for you!!

Sureshot2? Megasega? And a bunch of other ~1k ppd guys? Back off!!!

UnremarkableDot? Celestial Bliss? MoviemansMom? Make it quick!

[s0lid]

Jcool and jaco ofc
I might catch them in 20 years

[slaveondope]

I've been racing hendermd, hutkikz and hawk99 to 1 million BOINC and just barely beat them out, seems they laid of daily production since them
Im concerned about hendermd he's pull ~1.5K more rack so looks like he's going to pull a snoro and leave me in the dust

Come on cooler weather Best I can do is up the clocks.....

Unless anyone wants to trade their i7 for a fine 1090t system

[MrMojoZ]

I should start gaining some ground this weekend when my output more than doubles. So we will see if I can catch up to anyone. Muahahah.

Ohoh, maybe I can catch Firechicken before he gets any new stuff.

You are your own greatest rival

[Otis11]

I've been trying to catch PG for the past couple months... He just evaded me on GPUGrid a bit ago and since I have little chance there, thought I'd give him a run for it here.
(Just haven't told him cuz he's not within range yet)

Then I've already called out SnowCrash - he know's I'm commin and there aint nothin he can do!
(He seems to think he can hold me off, but the big guns are still coming...)

Then my long term goal? Catch Biker and sRHunt3r. They didn't even wave as they went by during supercomputer week... but I've more than doubled my output since then - the turbocharger is still awaiting installation and the NOS is currently in the mail. Goal is to match SR's output by christmas, then head for Biker's.
(Laugh while you can guys, but consider this your fair warning!)

Oh, and MM - that means you're in the sites too... Unfortunately I'm only accurate to a couple miles.

Very Zen ... but answer me this:

if a bear eats habonaros and craps in the woods, but nobody is there to hear it, does he still scream?

[Snow Crash]

PICS or it did not happen ... I mean Otis not DA
Ya, this is kind of fun ... while I've not been around as long as most, I am getting better at making the most out of my rigs and really do enjoy the rivalries.

And the next day was worse!

Yea, I love you too!
At least I know where to find a fireman!
Funny one(now,not then)
Had dinner at CES2010 with Charles,Vince,Shootstraight and Serlv
They all wanted to go to this Thai place.
I really didn't because I know what was coming but everyone else wanted to go there so I went along..
I order the MILDEST stuff on the menu.
Didn't taste hot at all.
This is like 8PM..
The next morning at 5:25am I wake up and in 3 steps cross 14 ft to serlvs bathroom..
At 8:30am I walked out feeling like I'd just gone 5 rounds with a 21 year old Mike Tyson.
Thai food? It will never cross my lips again..

[D_A]

Sook I love Thai food!

I suppose these would do you no good either then :http://www.hotsauceworld.com/dagobuhotnu.html

I tried some of that Sichuan Frogs in Shanghai this year. The waitress just put the hot bowl on the table. I saw the red, imitating sauce bubbling, with the big red chili pepper.

At first I thought they were regular peppers, no biggie. Had a spoonful of the frog and I just spit the whole thing out. Drank a cub of coconut milk. Then ate it again. First it was painful, but after you get used to it, it is good I tell ya.
I had 5 bowls of rice only with the frogs. And I didn't have aching throat the second morning.

That has to be the most delicious thing I had for 2 years.

[D_A]

Probably the only thing you could taste for the next two years!

[trn]

Damnit Hypernova got me today

That Sichuan food is something else... The most extreme Sichuan resturant I ever went to, as soon as I walked through the door it was like getting sprayed in the face with a can of mace My eyes started to water and throat burn; I didn't eat too much food that lunch (and I can tollerate hot food just fine! )

[lkiller123]

Oh yeah, in Chinese some of the food literally translates to "numb-spicy." They really numb your tongue when you eat them

[PoppaGeek]

I put this on almost everything, only way I know I am still alive...

[lkiller123]

I put this on almost everything, only way I know I am still alive...

OMG I love that thing.

I have like 2 bottles in my fridge!

[Kingcarcas]
