There is a matching points element to this. Your individual points are matched and given to your team. You can drop a team and rejoin another as many times as you want.

The downside is that lone wolf points are not matched, and lost forever. Too bad. There is also a place in your member profile to note your country. "Country points" are also gathered for statistics.

Yes, particular team solicitations should be made in the team area.

Usually a few teams do most of the writing. After going to ANY team page, it is possible to see a team search link. (Find a team) You can search for a team title containing a word that you may be interested in. If you still don't feel any sense of association, it is always possible to start another team.

Creating and building a team might be a fun project for a retired engineer. How about Team N'er Do Well Engineers? I'm just thinking that a retired engineer probably knows lots of other engineers, all fairly computer savvy, many with fast computers. Recruit as many as you can and see how many points you can rack up. The name alone might attract other engineers who pass by here. You can create your own team thread and swap stories with other engineers.

Watch out for the subliminal advertising and the pushing of the Chat Room envelope as this subject progresses.

This is going to be a fun thread to watch

As a tired old team hand Naggis I wish you all the very best.

Enjoy your crunching and don't forget to invite some more to the party

Great to have you crunching with the biggest team on the grid "Team WCG" only 200,415 team mates so far but still counting

Through the WCG I now have friends from right around the globe and you don't get that with a Supercomputer

Take care

Nite

Because of these silly names we have. Gender really isn't obvious on the Internet.
