biggrin Team ___In2My.Net___ asks: "Are you an online gamer!?!?" OPEN HOUSE!!! (Grid refugees UNITE!)
An online gamers community open to the public. Catch a ride with this extraordinary team! Join Today!
___________________________________________________

Game machine are known to have quite a bit of horsepowerl. It requires much to play most 3D games online. We must 'keep up' with the realtime needs of the game, so processing speed becomes a matter of life or death in a virtual way.

biggrin love struck applause applause click here__ applause love struck biggrin
biggrin applause hugs applause biggrin

It's time to plug that system into something useful in reality when you're finished blowing each other to kingdom come virtually. Join us in our battles against a foes in the real world. As our lives here are measured not in points or what we do for ourselves, but in service to others.

You don't have to be a gamer to join and there are no minimums or restrictions. Because to us, its not where or how much you crunch, its that you do!

________________________________________________________
A few words from Courine, Team Captain::

I was a Mechwairror4 addict for years, but then the lobbies that run the games are starting to read like pages from Mien Kampf. I cant support this activity so I have moved my mw4 game servers initially to grid.org. Then the game for me was to try to bring over other gamers.

There is a catch though, gamers are paranoid of hacks. Most run around with head cut off claiming they have been hacked, even if they are not. So when I tell people of the wonders of the grid, they cant help but think I'm one of those nasty hacks trying to 'fix their machine but good!'

The funny part is they are in lobbies that run on far more dangerous code than the program that the grid runs on. in fact, before I started running ad's in game rooms, I tested the claim of security myself on a test machine. Also I looked around on the web to see if there were any conspiracy reports. I even checked the forum there to see if there is even a slight clue of discontent. In all cases I found nothing. And! with over 2.5 million reported machines in the grid, if this was even the slightest bit of a hack, it would make big news. It would cause an mass exodus that would make the one from the Bible seem like a few people taking a quick stroll. Yet the global stats remain stable.

I realized that the only hack that I can see regarding the grid is the people hacking at the reputation of the grid by saying it is one.

This doesn't slow me down though, as it actually creates a skimming effect that will build a strong team from those I do get. As those who come over will have shown their strength in getting past this barrier of paranoia. A team strong with character as well as cpu power, all focused on a cause.

This cause, our cause, is to crunch cancer in our lifetime!

I will be redoing my website to complement involvement here, but if you want, you can see what I was up to before arriving at grid.org, its there still. At grid.org, I personally did 7.5 years and 1.25 million points and 4000+ results. The team did over 11yrs and 2 million in score with results 7000+, in just under 2.5 calander years. Rating in the top 250 in daily scores. Not bad as there were only 4 of us.

If you want to compete with me, be my guest. I have 6 systems ranging from a 500MHz p2 to an athalon duo 4800! I crank just over 10GigaFLOPsec last I checked, as the game servers are now dedicated DC servers. But the funny part about any competition here is that no matter the outcome, we all win.

What makes a winning team though isnt always its score. When it was reported that the grid was to close, Team ___In2My.Net___ moved quickly to establish a new base here at WCG. As soon the ship was in safe harbor, team efforts were transfered from its normal recreation to civic responsiblity.

Moving focus to address issues of disaster recovery durring the inital phases of the event. By hosting threads on both forums, the team was instumental in its 48hr marathon mission:Grid.org Refugee Transition Center. Aiding many whom would be a refugees after closure. Then afterwards, to help prevet MIA's due to PTSD or other adjustment disorder issues. Working against disater effects that could rear a loss of what could be seen as a conservitive 30,000 full-time systems vanishing into thin air, in just a few days.

It is this, plus quite literally "battle" tested command leadership with online teams, backed by years of operation in the public trust, you will better understand why I'm your captain. And even though rank has the privilege of being earned over time, its responsibilities have to be met everyday. This is why, after you come to know me, You dont work for me, its the other way around.

For those who have just come aboard, please accept my personal gratitude and heart-felt welcome. It looks like it's goin to be one hellof'a run.
