Thank you!

You're welcome, BladeD

Good Morning Base Campers!
Business
Well, BladeD is so fast that .... he did stay long enough to earn himself
the widest badge in Base Camp history Thank you for visiting.

The honor roll ready for the Base Camp Hall of Fame now looks like this:
little mermaid
TLD
NixChix
davwhite5xq7
acpartsman
stefada
Trotador
OldChap
VietOZ
NAP2614
616westwarmoth
Urden
BladeD
and sujo1 gets his honorary badge, of course, supplying all these faithful Base Campers
The XtremeSystems trek will end by tomorrow, when the 14th Birthday Challenge is over,
so you better hurry if you want to secure yourself that wide badge.
XtremeSystems lost a bit to #3 Team Gridcoin, but to an untrained eye a
57,000,000 lead looks comfortable.
OldChap, however, may whip up something else

I know you may be tired, but we have work to do.
We promised Captain flodisar a The International Team 3.0 in November, so after a bit of R&R
you will all be invited to Sweden some time next week.
After that, we'll pay a visit to L'Alliance Francophone some time in December
as I promised stefada on behalf of everybody

Chit-chat
Winter could arrive anytime now. For some days we have had easterly winds, which are cold this time of year.
I had my wheels with winter tires put on 'Rosie' today, and later made a walk in that sunny, clear weather
which is often the companion for winds from Siberia.
The picture shows fishermen's utensils and at the water's edge the float that brings cattle
from the mainland across a narrow strait with fierce current to grass at the island Dybsø
for the summer and bring it back again in the autumn.

Good Afternoon Base Campers!
To the US faction of Base Camp:

Business
Our XtremeSystems trek will end by midnight UTC.
This team is, well, xtreme. Still, I like to believe that we made a small difference
The end result of the 14th Birthday Challenge will - barred any miracles - be that
team Byteball.org wins.
Right now that team has ~700,000,000 points whereas
XtremeSystems at ~300,000,000 is #2
ahead 'just' ~50,000,000 point of #3 Gridcoin.
I think XtremeSystems could be very proud of this achievement,
and so can you, Base Campers

Chit-chat
Tomorrow not only the American faction will go bargain hunting on Black Friday.
I don't know if it has been introduced in France, but as Halloween has become a Danish 'tradition'
so has Black Friday
Upstairs Yvonne is an avid shopper and loves it.
I'm sure she has a list of what will pay to buy tomorrow.

The upgrade in participants or in hardware is BIG this year as can be seen when looking at total team results last year:

https://www.seti-germany.de/wcg/stats_team_al...amp;lang=en&year=2017

It looks like the third place score from last year could be attained by 8th place this year..... and yes we are most pleased to have taken last year's total up to 2.6 times approximately

Participation by the Base Campers and a few others is most appreciated both in the points and the ability to maintain the early lead.

So, from a bunch of Xtreme crunchers and computing maniacs and fools to all of you that joined us for this, I hope you enjoyed the ride and....

Many Many THANKS

Little Mermald,

Traditionnellement, l'oreillette, c'est un dessert. Et pour garder le goût de la fleur d'oranger, je dirais que le café se boit après.

Sachant que de nos jours, ça se mange surtout dans les fêtes. Un peu comme les churros, dans la manière, pas du tout dans le goût.
---------
Traditionally, l'oreillette is a dessert. And to keep the taste of orange blossom, I would say that the coffee is drunk after.

Knowing that nowadays, it is best eaten at parties. A bit like the churros, in the way, not at all in the taste.


Le Green Friday a beaucoup mobilisé, alors que ce n'est que la 2ème année. Le mouvement "gilet jaune" ayant sûrement influencé. Mais nous ne sommes pas là pour faire de la politique, c'était juste pour dire. Que les Français sont tellement 'râleurs', qu'il commence déjà à y avoir des critiques, comme quoi c'est bien le GreenFriday, mais il faudrait le faire tous les jours (ce qui n'est pas faut, en soit)
-------
Green Friday has mobilized a lot, while it is only the second year. The movement "yellow vest" surely influenced. But we are not here to do politics, it was just to say. That the French are so 'grumpy', that it is already starting to be criticized, as it is good the GreenFriday, but it should be done every day (which is not necessary, in itself)


OldChap,

You're welcome.

C'était très plaisant, de voir que des 'petits' comme moi, on peut aider des 'géants' comme vous. Et l'écart final montre, de mon point de vue, que le soutien du Base Camp a bien aidé. Je ne vous ai donné que 288'617 points, mais c'était ça de plus. Et comme dit si bien la capitaine de la team Kraland :
Les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières, les petits ordinateurs font de méga calculateurs pour la recherche.
---------
It was very pleasant, to see that 'little' like me, we can help 'giants' like you. And the final gap shows, from my point of view, that Base Camp support has helped. I only gave you 288'617 points, but that was it. And as the captain of the Kraland team said:
Small streams make big rivers, small computers make mega calculators for research.

Little Mermaid,

Oui, les oreillettes, c'est vraiment délicieux. Et c'est encore un 'plat du pauvre', qu'à part la fleur d'oranger, les ingrédients sont faciles à trouver. J'ai trouvé une recette qui me semble très bien, en français, mais c'est très court, car plutôt facile à faire. Si tu veux essayer de t'en cuisiner.

Sinon, peut-être qu'à force de te faire découvrir des paysages et des spécialités culinaires, tu demanderas à Rosie de t'emmener en Aveyron ...
----------
Yes, the oreillettes, it's really delicious. And it's still a 'poor man's dish', except for the orange blossom, the ingredients are easy to find. I found a recipe that seems very good, in French, but it is very short, because rather easy to do. If you want to try to cook.

Otherwise, perhaps by forcing you to discover landscapes and culinary specialties, you will ask Rosie to take you to Aveyron ...




Treks

C'est amusant que tu rappelles qu'en général le Base Camp aide des challengers, LM. Que de mon expérience c'est tout l'inverse, à chaque fois j'étais un 'overdog' (si j'ai bien compris, je ne suis pas sûr d'avoir bien compris le mot). C'est logique en même temps, chacune de mes participations, c'était pour remercier des équipes qui avaient aidé avant.

Si vous regardez la capture, Kraland est une toute petite équipe à coté des trois autres. Mais je trouve ça très joli, de voir ces 4 noms cote à cote.

Enfin, très content que le trek avec l'Alliance Francophone soit retenu ! Les quelques échanges que j'ai eu étaient très sympa. Rien que s'inscrire sur 'notre' forum (francophone) pour discuter un peu, j'ai trouvé ça très cool. Je pense que je ferais quelques WUs avec eux, même si je passe un peu trop de temps en dehors de la Team Kraland dernièrement.



It's funny that you remember that Base Camp usually helps challengers, LM. That my experience is the opposite, each time I was an 'overdog' (if I understand correctly, I'm not sure I understood the word). It makes sense at the same time, each of my participations, was to thank teams that had helped before.

If you look at the capture, Kraland is a tiny team next to the other three. But I find it very pretty, to see these 4 names side by side.

Finally, very happy that the trek with the Alliance Francophone is retained! The few exchanges I had were very nice. Just register on 'our' forum (French) to discuss a little, I found it very cool. I think I'll do some WUs with them, even if I spend a little too much time outside Team Kraland lately.



Badges & signature/selection

Je continue de travailler sur le script, mais comme annoncé, ça va prendre du temps, et je ne promet rien. En plus de ne pas avoir pratiqué depuis longtemps, et donc de devoir faire des recherches sur Internet, pour me rappeler comment on fait. Il y a qu'en php, quand il y a un bug, il n'est jamais indiqué au bon endroit, ce qui fait perdre un temps fou. (l'inconvénient des langages très peu fortement typé, pour ceux qui connaissent la programmation)

I continue to work on the script, but as announced, it will take time, and I promise nothing. In addition to not having practiced for a long time, and therefore having to do research on the Internet, to remind me how we do. In php, when there is a bug, it is never indicated in the right place, which is wasting a lot of time. (the disadvantage of languages ​​very little strongly typed, for those who know the programming)
