Coincedent with Milhouse’s excellent SETI classic stats returning I have been working on Virtual team stats for BOINC. Stats will be posted regularly and hopefully we can have some BOINC VT fun and drag races. Its going to be cleaner to make new teams for BOINC because we have new members who never crunched Classic and also the difficulty synchronising. Existing teams are of course welcome to register here under their old names but some of you might want to nominate a new captain.Others may wish to join existing teams or set up your own between you.
SO ROLL UP, GET YOUR LOVERLY VT BADGE HERE
For the benefit of newer forum members I have posted a brief FAQ.
What’s a Virtual team - Basically a sub group within TPR for having a bit of fun with group drag races and other crunching competitions. Join a team and your stats will be added to the team total. When we have races your crunching efforts will contribute to your team winning the race.
Do I still keep my own BOINC stats - Yes, It does not affect any of your BOINC accounts.
What projects are included - At the moment I’m using Kevin’s excellent TPR BOINC stats site as a data feed. Currently he shows SETI, Predictor, CPDN [EDIT] and LHC [/EDIT]. Hopefully other projects will be added as they go live.
What no Lifemapper. - Sorry the stats systems are different. Might agree on a way to do this in the future.
Can I belong to more than one team - No its caused some issues in the past and I would rather avoid it. If you feel strongly about this then post & say so. All this stuff is up for suggestions.
Are there team captains. Doesn’t matter, its up to the teams.
How do I join a team. - Just post in here giving your forum name, BOINC name and team you wish to join. If you crunch under different names for different projects (bad idea :() I will need all applicable names.
Here, for a bit of interest, is the current overall VT BOINC Stats based on what I believe to be the old SETI classic team structure.
