13 Gold Badges

I am curious to know if there are any current active WCG members that have not only achieved an exceptional feat of achieving a badge in each of the 12 WCG projects (completed, inactive, active) and Beta; but have crunched each project to achieve Gold status in all 13? While looking at the stats of roughly the top 20 or so all time points leaders, it was surprising that none of them had all 13 badges, not to mention not all were gold. That is understandable I know, since everyone crunches different projects for different reasons for different durations. But it would be quite interesting to know if a member has achieved each of the 13 badges at the Gold level? confused

I believe JmBoullier has said he knows of one such member but is keeping quiet on the name.

Re: 13 Gold Badges

Uplinger has 12 - he's missed out on Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy (only getting a silver... boy, would I be annoyed at that...).

As to ever seeing anyone on the forum with 13 golds, no, I can't recall anyone...

Edit, not even the member "IBM" has all 13 (it "only" has 7, with 237 years of contribution...). I suppose that there could be another individual "mega-team" that has all 13...

I only have 7 Golds but I am reasonably happy that I have 12.5 Years of Crunching time. I am sure that Uplinger is happy with his 93 years of crunching.

I was 27 days from gold in my missing badge :( hehe...but fair is fair. I should have contributed more towards that project. I did lobby to get that extra 27 days but failed in my attempt...anyways, i enjoy the badges as much as everyone else :)

Hummm, I have a guess about it... and I lost my chance to have the perfect 13 by far (in time to get) if compared with you Uplinger... and I lost in two ones : GC and HDC.

In my case, during the both projects time duration, I just have 2 weak machines running UD client, and at end time of each one, running WCG clients (my wrong decision for not quick off UD before... arghhhhhh). My poor attention on forums and lack of personal time to dedicate more to WCG, provoque this lack of work done and results, and so on...

Additionally, and it could explain very well why you and me don't got the perfect 13 goldies (As well as I saw in many other old crunchiers in WCG too), I guess that during GC, HDC, and HCMD projects duration, the number of WU's available and distributed in a short time projects duration, was little when compared with other projects in WCG, exception are AC and BETA that have some specifics conditions to get WU's, and the new ones that have a lot of time ahead yet.

As of today, and now, take a look below at some project statistics to capture some correlations mentioned (hope nopt transcripted errors...):

FAH: 87,457,723 results in about 93,765 years
HPF2: 49,873,572 results in about 42,957 years
HCC: 38,522,610 results in about 29,435 years
HPF1: 26,044,374 results in about 26,645 years
DDDT: 22,398,211 results in about 9,228 years
NRW: 13,334,764 results in about 12,753 years
GC: 10,413,019 results in about 3,748 years Complete
HCMD: 5,418,019 results in about 8,082 years Complete
HDC: 5,316,402 results in about 2,909 years Complete
HFCC: 1,057,102 results in about 669 years
CEP: 577,195 results in about 856 years
BETA: 107,688 results in about 71 years
AC: 33,023 results in about 33 years

Coincidences, lobbies and conspiration theories away, maybe for this 3 projects (GC, HCMD, and HDC), the times to get more high level badges, would be less than the standard for all projects...

Correct!
I am still watching his/her stats every day since this member is the only one who can ever have 13 Gold badges. But nothing has moved so far: still the famous 11 Gold badges and nothing else.
Not even the least Bronze badge for TCEP or HFCC. But if this member is all-projects that might take a while, particularly for TCEP.

Cheers. Jean.

Re: 13 Gold Badges

The chance of beta to re-appear again is higher i think.
