“From ghoulies and ghosties and long-leggety beasties, and things that go bump in the night - Good Lord, deliver us!" -- traditional Scottish prayer

... is going to slip at the next update, unless things change in a remarkable fashion. TW is under 50k points away, and their daily output at this point is well over 50k per day larger than ours, especially with my renderfarm otherwise occupied.

At least we'll still stay in the top ten, and besides, it's all for the greater good. :-)

Today for the first time in the team's history we step back a place For 168 days for MOT the only way has been up. This feeling we experience for the first time today is what we've inflicted on all teams bar 5. To all the teams we've passed along the way, we're sorry.

Even TribalWar admit they couldn't have done it without our "help". As we were being so successful they used us as a target to aim for. Hopefully we will keep them honest as we continue to harangue them up the table. I hope they don't succumb to the crunching lethargy that seems to have afflicted the Slashdotters, from their high of 1,347,101 points on the 8th Jan to the 541,485 posted yesterday, otherwise this incredibly fast Tortoise is going to catch a Hare.

Hey cheer up Crew, what this does mean is that there are now more teams to overtake sometime in the future
Here's the comparison of TW and MOT.

Not too bad for a team of 158 Members (Just think what we could do with 662 !!)

Talking of our 158th Team Mate, Team welcome aboard doright. Thanks for choosing to crunch along with the MOT Crew. Sorry I haven't responded as quickly as usual as it's the Spring Bank Holiday in the UK. Your member pages are now online. If you would like any extra info on there please find my email address on the team website and drop me a line. Once again thanks for joining the team.

We seem to have a problem getting to more than 158 members onboard the team. We've been here a couple of times before. If you are reading this for the first time please join us as the 159th.

It's a bit late for Mayday Mayday Mayday, as we have already been overtaken by TribalWar.com, but we could really use some help.

Congratulations are in order for swordfishradio on reaching 6 digits. Nice progress through the table.

btw I can now hear myself think at this end as I've ditched the Coolermaster Aero 7+ in favour of Arctic Cooling "Copper Lite" here's a link to their website http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.php?idx=2&disc= to be recommended, keeps those temperatures down, just mumbles along and relatively cheap - result.

So keep those CPU's glowing and Fan's a blowing for the WCG.
