    This is a "Fair Warning" message. Have you been watching Boinc.BE and Boinc Synergy close up on you? At current figures Boinc.BE will take second place (by TC) away from you in 9-10 days. Boinc Synergy will be right in that area as well by that time. It was our hope (boinc synergy) to take 3rd by TC from Boinc.BE, but it's possible (at current rates), we'll be getting it from you. After Boinc.BE takes 2nd from you. Leaving you in 4th place, Eeegads NO. Don't let this injustice happen. Keep what's rightfully yours.

    Just a heads up. In the spirit of keeping it fun.

    good luck

    PS most BS members will be scaling down or moving to another project around the 30th. But it'll still be a close one.

      Yes we have certainly noticed this. It kinda scared me so ive moved my entire veggie patch back across in defense. Its not the largest around but it should increase the time factor while i round up some more farms for the defense.

        I've noticed too, but am not overly concerned. Even if we get relegated to 4th, we will still be in the top 10. I do have one PC crunching ABC 24/7 but am not ready to commit more to it at the moment just to defend our position.

          Yes. We have noticed. :-) Some of us are bringing some more crunch across to defend, but since many team members are in "recovery" mode after the last AA, we might not be able to bring enough power to bear to fight off your mighty impressive assaults! If in fact you do scale back around the 30th, then, as you say, it will be close. :-)

          Live long and crunch. It's all to the good!

            I thnk most will peel off. Myself, I'll be sticking around for a bit longer. I tried to stop at exactly 200K, but messed that up by my "pending credits" calculations, so I set my goal for 250K. It was looking good until I felt guilty about quitting when the team needed me(I had stopped for a couple days), so I'm resetting my goal to either 350K or 400K. I think I'll be over 350K by the end, so I'll likely be around to 400K. Then I'm off to get that same total at other projects. I'm literally trying for that number with only the last digit off of zero (400,006 for example). Lots of zeroes look neat, orderly, and intentional.

            I'm tired of collecting data and thought I'd make a different game, and that's balancing the pieces of my boinc pie chart (as seen at Boincstats).

            good luck

              Ok all my defense has arrived which might buy us a day or two lol.
              A C2D E6400 at 3.12GhHz (64bit Linux)
              P4 2.4GHz
              AMD 3000+
              Celeron 2GHz
              Celeron M 1.4GHz

              As you can see other than the C2D not much to worry about there lol and most have just gone from 50% to 100%. Although when the C2D was running 50% i had it at 2.13Ghz not 3.12Ghz so that should help a little.

              Oh and i plan on B@A keeping at least second place lol. 3rd just isnt good enough for me and first is too far in the distance those AF guys are just crazy crunchers and we don't stand a chance.

                We (B@A, BS, B.BE) should try finding a project where we are are close and have a "Battle Royale" sometime. Maybe even here again in a few months. I would like to have seen all three teams race against each other of a whole month.

                I would like to thank B.BE for the competition this month. It has certainly been the most exciting Project of the Month that we have done so far.

                    Well, to be honnest, we (boinc.be) never thought we would stand a chance against boincsynergy, largely outnumbered 36 to 134, we were happy to see that we could keep our RAC allmost all of the time above theirs. And yes we did (still do, still a couple of days to go with allmost no difference in TC) enjoy this battle! We've allready discussed this on our forum and would be happy to take on other challenges ;-)
                    Happy crunching and greetings from the other side of the world! (being belgium :p)

                    Greetz,
