Yggdrasil128

Well guys, my oh my has it been a month of pure excitement and an unexpected plot twist, the king has been dethroned!!!
 
But before we get into it I just want to say a few things, first and foremost, I want to thank the guys who have been helping behind the scenes, @Gorgon for his exceptional data handling and filling in for blog posts, @palespartan for being my rival giving a helping hand with data validation, prize allocation and a blog post or two and @Imbellis for validation and giving us a secondary source of point data. You guys really have been lifesavers this event and without you I honestly don't think the event would have ran at all as I would have needed to throw in the towel with all the hospital trips. 
 
I want to thank every one of who participated, no matter if you made 3 points(yes, somehow that was a thing, I even validated it myself) or if you made over 800m *cough* @Yggdrasil128 *cough*, you really are all beautiful, amazing people. I also want to give a special thanks to you all for standing by me despite all the hospital trips and unavailability, I really appreciated all the warm messages I received wishing my partner good health, it will surly be needed over the coming months and possibly years. 
 
Competition was stiff this year, with not only the highest number of sign ups for any folding event here on the forum but also some of the most impressive folding I've ever seen, period. You guys have rocked it hard and you should all be proud for what we accomplished. 17,933,433,473 points over the course of the event and moving from 10th place to 8th, but the science is not over and the folding must continue. 
 
Roughly, if team LTT was measured on the top500 list of supercomputers we would have found ourselves somewhere around 70-75th, just think about that for a moment...
 
Please can all make sure we donate a few dollars to Jason over at EOC, his servers must have taken a beating with all the traffic we have thrown at the guy over the last month or so. You can either use this PayPal link or find the PayPal donation button on the EOC Website on the right. Don't forget to include a note thanking him so he knows its from team LTT. 
 
List of the dead
 
It is a sad time when we see the demise of our hardware, even sadder when that hardware holding out a few more days or weeks would have secured up a better position. 
 
@justpoet's brain
@azmariadei Apevia 300w psu and CyberPower 1000VA UPS

@spotty's gpu? maybe a 7970?
@HrutkayMods 970 ftw
@xWeegix 970
 
Rest In Piece Valiant hardware, there is a special place in silicon heaven(Red Dwarf Reference right there) for you, least we forget. 
 
And now, without further delay, here are the final, verified ranks and prize winners. 
 
In first place we have @Yggdrasil128, with 886,386,763 points over the course of the event. Mr. Drasil, now crowned the new king of folding for team LTT, really surprised us all, laying low for much of the event before making a dash to the top with his mercenary armies rented folding power, we don't mind how you get your points as long as you get them under your name. You truly deserve to sit in this spot, your prize os to have the bragging rights for the next 11 months, All Hail The King of Folding, 2019!
 
In second place we have the dethroned kind, @Den-Fi with 660,756,810, you really pushed hard towards the end of the month, but with some sandbagging at the start it has to be asked if you could have taken the crown, that is something we will never know. But, hear this, there is no shame here, for we are all winners when it comes to folding, as we fold, FOR SCIENCE!
 
In third place we have @Gorgon with 520,575,343 an impressive number, our very own Gorgon showing that we are all in it full tilt, even if we are consumed by crashing google sheets and failing giant IF statements. He was up there right from the start and really took the fight to the dethroned king, a real man of the people. 
 
In 4th place we have @miker07 with 438,025,030, a fine effort from the folding month veteran. 
 
in 5th place we have @catawalks with 415,533,572, if only he pushed that little more he could have taken 4th. 
 
6. @_Rlocke with 221,628,810.
 
7. @JB25304 with 212,774,860.
 
8. @leadeater with 202,564,470.
 
9. @Favebook with 191,299,492.
 
10. @GOTSpectrum with 186,742,539.
 
 
If you don't see your name on the list above you either did not sign up for this event or you did not meet the minimum requirements. All event badges will be handed out without any intervention needed from you guys, PLEASE DO NOT message me or the team about event badges. 
 
Now it is time for the prizes!
 
I was planning to tag each winner but due to the number of prizes and limitation I have recently been made aware of the winning ranks will be listed here and the winners will be tagged in comments to this post. This will ensure all winners get a notification for the tag. 
 
The winners will have 7 working days from the publication of this post to claim the prize, if the prize goes unclaimed it will be raffled again. In order to claim the Prize you will need to PM me here on the forum, with the subject
 
'I am here to claim what is rightfully mine!'

I really just want to thank you all again for taking part in the event, you guys have really made it special, every single one of you!
 
And, with that said, it's time to finally wrap up the folding month for 2019, I can't wait to see you all taking part in the future folding events like the intra-forum friendly in Febuary, the summer folding sprint and yes, next years folding month.
 
EDIT: In all the excitement, I forgot to add my two little announcements... 
 
The first is, the billion point badge is now here!
 
  1 billion points, Diamond Badge - 'When you have contributed more than 1 Billion points, Tales of your folding adventures will be whispered through the ages, You are now mythical.'
 
The second is that, It has been decided that new leadership for the folding team could reinvigorate the team, well I can tell you that I have accepted to take over the leadership role from @Whiskers!
 
This is Spectrum signing off,
 
Happy Folding,
 
Spec. 
 

With only one day to go the question is can the team step up to make that final push for 8th place?

Well guys, as the events starts to draw to a close its looking more and more likely we will be crowning a new king in just over a weeks time, but there is still time for change, but only with something extreme.
 
Well after a day of work its nice to come home to see everyone still folding, @Yggdrasil128 my hat is off to you, you fine gentleman, no matter he outcome I believe you have stolen the hearts of the people. 
 
 
Top 10 - 27.61%, top 50 - 53.47%, top 100 - 68.50%

Well it really has to be said, the guys at the top are pulling off the gloves and are going at it bare-knuckle.
 
I'm not going to be going through stats and the like as you can see them for yourselves and the truth is I am very much thoroughly drained from yet another night at the hospital, it's good to be home though. I just want to give you all a big thank you for the level of dedication and commitment you are showing to the cause. 
 
We have the chance to make a real difference here, slowly, unit by unit, frame by frame, and everyone of you should feel pride in what we are doing, in the name of science and the betterment of human-kind.

I don't have much time so going to be a quickie, top 10 - 27.42%, Top 50 - 52.64%, top 100 - 65.78%

Well guys, it looks like the team is clawing back some lost production as we are seeing a slight bump today, that half billion day is still elusive to us though, but it will happen.
 
In first place we see @Gorgon hanging on by the skin of his teeth with 164.66 million points, he looks like the king is poised to strike and take his lead over the next day or so, it will be interesting to see if he has anything to respond with or if he will need to concede to @Den-Fi who has ramped up production and has 164.35 million points to his name. In third place we see @miker07 with 139.84 million points, he must be finding himself looking at the rear-view mirror and wondering what, if anything he can do as there are a couple of people behind him looking to leapfrog his position. Forth place is taken by the challenger @Yggdrasil128 who is looking at the top dog, the king himself with envy in his eyes as he races towards dominance, currently holding onto 124.9 million points, he has some liming to go, but he does have the highest production of any participant for the time being. @catawalks takes fifth place with 96.9 million points, giving him a lead of over 15 million, placing him comfortably ahead of @_Rlocke  in sixth with 82.3 million points. 7th place is taken by @GOTSpectrum who continues to plod along consistently with 50 million points to his name, @DUW1G1T seems to be fairly consistent too with his 48.9 million points giving him a small but adequate lead over @Lucky7 in 9th place with 45.9 million points. @palespartan has been knocked out of 10th place and down to 12th as @Cbwgoose sits as the gate-keeper of the top 10 with 39.1 million points.
 
The top 10 has pumped out 24.48% of the events total for today, with the top 50 bringing home 50.64% and the top 100 claiming 65.44%.

Well guys, we have hit the double digits, and it seems the pressure is starting to hit our participants. The download bug is back and we can see some users folding under the heat.
 
In first place we see @Gorgon holding on with 148.83 million points, many have asked hows hes managed to stay up with the king breathing down his neck, the answer is sandbagging unforeseen circumstances on the part of @Den-Fi who is in second with 146.98 million points, Its hard to gauge if he really is struggling, or just underachieving, either way, we are keeping a close eye on the king. In third place we have @miker07 with 128.73 million points, he continues to push hard, and the results show for themselves. Fourth place is taken by @Yggdrasil128 who is still showing that he has the stamina to challenge the top boys, if he can keep this up I'm sure we will see the top dog push harder. With 104.9 million he has some distance to cover, but I'm sure he will make it, WE BELIEVE IN YOU! Fifth place is held by @catawalks with 84.3 million points, respectable to say the least, @_Rlocke is keeping pace too with 74 milillion points, hes quite comfortable  as 7th place is held by @GOTSpectrum with 45 million points, @DUW1G1T continues to keep pace with 7th, holding onto the number 8 sopt with 44m points. @Lucky7 doesnt need any luck to keep his spot at 9th with 41.7m as @palespartan has the number 10 spot with 33.6 million.
 
 
 
 
 

Well guys, here we are, the first day of the second week and my oh my have we been busy bees, that 500m day is still elusive but we are creepy ever closer.
 
In first place we have @Gorgon with a massive 116.56 million points, he really has expanded his fleet since last folding month and finds himself in first, but that lead is slipping away as @Den-Fi is hot on his tail with 115.66 million, and seeing as the advancing royalists are outpacing the the rebel leader it's only a matter of time. Taking third place we have @miker07 who continues to play with the big boys holding onto the number three spot with 103.63 million points, in fourth we can see the teams biggest producer @Yggdrasil128 flying up the ranks at warp speed currently holding onto a ticket with 66.13 million points, fifth place is take by @catawalks with 64.2 million points, The cat man is slowing that he can do more than simply scratch a post. 6th place is taken by @_Rlocke with 57.8 million points, hes built himself up a mighty lead over @GOTSpectrum in 7th who has 36.1 million points to his name, 8th place we see @DUW1G1T continuing to push hard with 35.8 million points, hes so close to 7th he can taste the rainbow Mr spec is leaving behind.In 9th place we have @Lucky7 with 33 million points and he isnt feeling overly threatened by @palespartan in 10th who has 26.7 million points.
 
The top 10 brought home 24.44% of the points for this update, the top 50 ranks can claim 48.46% while the top 100 has 63.23% this update.

Well, I'm back guys, you just can't keep me away for long can you.
 
***DISCLAIMER***
 
Due to an unusual error in Stanfords database we have had to make a correction to one users stats, @leadeater will be awarded 786,241 points, this number was worked out by analysing his previous production data along with carefully reviewing log file submitted to us. We are confident that this value should be close enough, with 100k likely to be the maximum error. as the final ranks are worked out using the first and last day values we are hopeful a correction will be issued by Pande group in their database so his final production data will be correct.
 
***End of Disclaimer***
 
Woowee have I had a mad one these last few days, It's really good to be back writing these posts and being able to be the guy who gives you all the juicy rankings!
 
Currently sitting in first we have our very own @Gorgon, he is holding onto the hot seat with 69.170 million points, he will be looking to build up the best lead he can because we all know the king is eyeing up the throne, second place is held by @miker07 with 67.400 million points, he too must feel the anxiety of knowing the king is behind him, looking to knock him down a peg, the question is can he muster the reinforcements to leapfrog gorgon and find his way to maintain the silver spot. Third place is held by the king @Den-Fi, who so far has produced 65.465 million points, he seems to be holding back the logistics with fear of their engines overheating, but only time will tell if hes willing to remove the speed governors and let them roll on at full speed. In forth place we see @catawalks holding 37.242 million points, they really have been pushing hard and as we can see their hard work is paying off, but with @_Rlocke who has 32.901 million points, only 5 million points behind and coming up fast and hard it seems they wont be holding onto that spot for long.
 
In 6th place we have @Yggdrasil128 with 26.1 million points, he has some way to go if he is looking to break into the top 5 pack, but with an impressive 10m points over the last 24 hours it seems thats exactly what he has planned, to storm the beaches of the top 5 form a beachhead and solidify his position. 7th place is @GOTSpectrum with 22.6 million points, @DUW1G1T is still nipping at his heels with 22.4 million points, the real question is, do wither of them have more in the tank. 9th place is held by @Lucky7 who despite being a new coming to the folding month has really gone out to make waves, and in 10th, the gate keeper of the folding expeditionary forces we have @Yabdat with 16.5 million points. 
 
The top ten produced 23.9% of the points over the last 24 hours with the top 50 taking 46.2% and top 100 making up 62.25%.
