    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Folding Month 2021 Awards Ceremony   
    Well here we are, at the end of the event, battered, bruised and some of us noticeably lighter in the wallet, but we made it through! Over 80% of sign ups this event made the minimum requirements, that is an impressive number considering we usually are lucky to get 50% or so of people who signed up making onto the final sheet. As expected we have a new king! With Den-Fi no longer on the forum there was always going to be a new king, but this is shocking. A first timer not only competing well but taking the throne, what dedication! 
     
    As is usually the case, I want to thank everyone who got stuck in and pulled off yet another amazing folding month. Even with a smaller turn out than usual we still got over 17 billion points for the event, truly amazing guys! It truly is only a great event because all of you guys who get involved.
     
    I would also like to give a special thanks to @cbigfoot who once again stepped up and made sure the event ran smoothly when others in the team fell ill... and by others I mean myself. Not only validating but also inputting data and even sharing the points update to the event thread when I was unable to do so. Also a thanks to @leadeater for continuing to improve the data gathering script, and also for running it and storing the data on his google drive so we can more easily access the data we need. 
     
    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 left. Don't forget to include a note thanking him so he knows its from team LTT.  My personal go to is, 'From LTT with love' but you are free to write your own. 
     
    I didn't think I would be writing this again for a second year, but yet here it is. this year has been another stressful, uncertain and anxiety provoking time. With the continued COVID pandemic, and all the issues that it brings, along with soaring costs of living, such as higher food and energy costs has affected most, if not all of us. But, there will be an end, eventually, at some point things we find a few, more comfortable normal. Many of us are in the grip of a fourth wave of COVID that seems to be worse than ever, so stay safe, wear your masks and finally try not to worry to much.

    Rest In Peace Valiant hardware, there is a special place in silicon heaven for you, lest we forget. 
     
    Now, it is time to get to what we have all waited for, THE RANKS!
     
    In first place we have @IgorSinelnikov, who has overcome all others to become the one sitting on the throne with 1,531,645,523 points, it was an incredible effort and unlike some other, less kind kings of the past he didn't truly dominate throughout the event. Instead he came from lower down the ranks and fought tooth and nail to finally find himself taking the throne by the slimmest of margins. One thing to note though, Igor certainly is no Den-Fi, who during last folding month broke well past the two billion point barrier. Nonetheless, He shall be celebrated, for he is our king... at least for the next 12 months. 
     
    In second place we have @miker07, Miker is a veteran of folding events, unfortunately he has never taken the throne, it does have to be said that this is his best showing not only in rank but also in points. With 1,528,821,202 to his name by the end of the event he was so close to taking the number one spot, missing out by less than three million points. Despite that he has much to be proud of, and is truly a shining star among the team. 
     
    In third place we have @Ben_F, Ben showed that with determination you can do great things. he remained calm and collected throughout the event maintaining his level of production pretty consistently. Taking the number three spot with 1,356,257,706 is certainly nothing to turn your nose up at. 
     
    Fourth place is taken by @Mxyzptlk, who is yet another participant who has passed the billion point barrier this event. An amazing feat that should not be underestimated, they have taken the position with 1,039,905,322. Having a healthy margin behind is certainly good to see. 
     
    Fifth place is taken by @Justaphf, they are someone who has participated only once before and yet has found themselves in a respectable position taking 5th place with 900,950,824.
     
    6th is @Pezui with 447,626,570 points.
     
    7th is @Starman57  with  440,253,400 points.
     
    8th is @Favebook  with  433,518,142 points.
     
    9th is @vsteel with  388,029,958 points.
     
    10th is  @GOTSpectrum with  385,256,275 points.

    So once again I want to take some time to thank you all for folding during the event, It has really been a great event as always and I hope to see you again in the future.

    Mxyzptlk is still looking in good pace to have one billion points by the end of the event, Starman57 has gained a rank up to 7th. GOTSpectrum is looking like they dont have the steam to keep in the top ten for the rest of the event. There aren't many more things to report on, but I do have to say to see you all pushing as hard as you have is great, and thank you for getting involved in the event.

    Well here we are, another day, another blog post. It seems like Igor doesn't want to be crowned. Theres not bee much movement in the ranks as to be expected but nonetheless let's have a look at the ranks. 
     
    Miker07 is sitting in first place with 1,124.96 million points, followed closely by IgorSinelnikov with 1,083.23 million points, then in third place we have Ben_F with 992.66 million points. Mxyzptlk finds themselves in fourth place with 730.00 million points and finally in the top five we have Justaphf with 645.36 million points. 
     
    Yknow what, I'm not even going to bother to write out the rest of te ranks as we have seen them all before. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021. It does seem interesting that both Miker07 and Igor have dropped their production rates, I guess Igor just doesnt want that crown.

    Finally there is some decent movement in the top ten! 
     
    Miker07 remains sitting on the throne with 759.11 million points, followed as usual by Ben_F with 670.08 million points, IgorSinelnikov is up next continuing with his string showing, taking third place with 630.05 million points. Igor has fallen slightly in production today and if he is wanting to take the crown then he will certainly need to keep his numbers up. Mxyzptlk is up next in fourth place with 476.06 million points and Justaphf finishes up the top five with 453.70 million points. 
     
    Favebook is in 6th place 242.99 million points, Pezui has climbed a rank to 7th place with 204.24 million points, and GOTSpectrum has also gained a rank to 8th with 196.66 million points. LazyDev has dropped two ranks and find themselves in 9th place with 194.85 million points and finally we have vsteel sitting as the gatekeeper, rank ten with 190.60 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains (less than) exciting at Folding Month 2021. LazyDev have fallen two ranks, but it looks like they are getting back to production and we may see their favours change in the coming days. cbigfoot has fallen to the rank of 15, I only make a point of mentioning it as he is on the event team and in all honesty he has been instrumental in getting this event to run as smoothly as it has done. Elektra57 has gained four ranks to find herself in rank 78.

    Well the ranks are pretty static for the most part today and I have a feeling that this will be the case for many of the updates to come for the rest of the event. With that said, there have been a number of shuffles down lower in the ranks so make sure you check out where you stand!
     
    Miker07 is still sitting on the throne with an impressive 710.94 million points, following up next is Ben_F with 631.28 million points with IgorSinelnikov continuing to be the standout in production, sitting in third place with 577.21 million points. Igor could still very much push onward further up the ranks with only a little more production, I find myself saying this often but it is simply a fact. Mxyzptlk is in fourth place with 445.81 million points and finally we have Justaphf with 427.56 million points. 
     
    Favebook is taking up the number six spot with 230.10 million points followed by LazyDev with 194.74 million points. LazyDev hasn't produced any points today and that is certainly something to keep an eye on him. Pezui is up next with 190.10 million points, followed by GOTSpectrum with 181.70 million points and finally the gatekeeper is vsteel who has fallen a rank with 179.63 million points.

    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Sixteen - I'm Missing Den-Fi   
    I feel like we are in the part of the event when many people find their place in the ranks, but also the time when an upset can happen. I have to say that it's been a laid back event so far, I guess without Den-Fi a lot of the shenanigans just don't seem to happen. 
     
    Miker07 remains planted on the thrown for another day with 663.19 million points, Ben_F comes up next with 590.68 million points and I have to say I don't see Ben managing to make it any higher by this point. IgorSinelnikov is in third place and continuing to sail along at full pelt taking third place with 522.05 million points. Igor has said that he will likely have to pull back so it will be sad to see his incredible numbers drop but I'm sure that will be music to Mikers ears. Mxyzptlk is up next in fourth place with 413.33 million points and Justaphf is in fifth place with 399.50 million points. 
     
    Favebook is doing well holding onto 6th place with 215.45 million points, but LazyDev in 7th place with 194.74 million points could prove to be a challenge to FB if there was even the smallest of change between the two. Pezui has kept himself in 8th place with 178.29 million points followed by a gap of only 10 million by vsteel in 9th place with 168.69 million points. He will certainly need to be careful as we have a new honourable gatekeeper, GOTSpectrum has taken often the number 10 spot with 168.12 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains (less than) exciting at Folding Month 2021. GOSpectrum has pushed ahead and re-entered the top ten which is nice to see for obvious reasons. HeavensLastHope and sazrocks have both gained 3 places today finding themselves in 27th and 28th respectively. Elektra57 has gained 5 ranks today to find herself in 85th place which is nice to see.

    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day fifteen - I Can Feel The Heat From Here   
    Right when I thought things were getting boring we see Miker and Igor running away and doing Den-Fi levels of production,  only time will tell but I have a feeling we could be in for an interesting battle towards the end of the event with these two. 
     
    Miker07 has continued to sit on the throne with 612.36 million points, Ben_F is in second place with 549.69 million points followed by the highest producer of the day IgorSinelnikov with 466.47 million points. Igor is certainly flexing his muscles here and with a little more push and shove he could certainly be a challenge for the throne. Mxyzptlk has climbed a ranks and is up next in forth place with 380.69 million points. Finally we have Justaphf who has fallen down to fifth place with 373.11 million points. 
     
    Favebook is in 6th place with 201.77 million points followed by LazyDev with 188.16 million points. LazyDev is right up against Favebook's production rate and if he pushed a little harder he could certainly advance further. Pezui is still in 8th place with 167.91 million points, vsteel is in 9th place with 157.57 million points. Finally we have the honourable gatekeeper Starman57 with 154.92 million points.
     
    So, as you can see it remains (less than) exciting at Folding Month 2021, there is such a close range of production between rank 8 and 12, with GOTSpectrum being the standout right now. But as we all know these things can change. Igor is continuing his crazy push and I for one am certainly looking forward to seeing just how far he can push his hardware.

    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Twelve - Igor Strikes Again   
    well Storm Igor has returned to the higher ranks today, But another quiet one for the most part minus the few upsets there have been throughout the ranks. 
     
    Miker07 continues to look strong sitting on the throne with 471.17 million points, Ben_F keeps things the same sitting in the number two spot with 427.86 million points and in third place we see IgorSinelnikov has forced further up the ranks with 299.50 million points. That means we have Justaphf who has been displaced to fourth with 296.46 million points and Mxyzptlk has also been displaced to fifth place with 285.10 million points. If Igor is wanting to advance any further they will certainly have to set up their game even further than they have so far, but only time will tell if that is something that is possible or not. 
     
    Favebook remains in 6th place with 158.65 million points and then we see LazyDev with 145.30 million points. Pezui is up next in 8th with 136.56 million points, vsteel is taking up the number 9 spot with 122.51 million points and finally the honourable gate keeper remains to be Star57 with 120.55 million points. There is an interesting fight going on between Starman and vsteel, and to some degree Pezui could get caught up in the action if he doesn't push himself to go faster. Also it seems like GOTSpectrum may want in on the action with a small but noticeable uptick in their production. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, Igor has certainly shown us this week that he can kick it with big boys, a good showing for what I believe is his first event. sazrocks had another good day gaining another 7 ranks to find themselves in 38th, gremlicious has also had a decent gain today of 8 places to find themselves in 66th and finally Electra57 has gained 8 ranks to find herself in 107th.

    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day ten - All Is Quiet   
    Well if yesterday was Deja Vous then I don't even know what to say about today. It has been a strangely quiet day, with only a handful of interesting rank changes in todays update there's not too much entertainment to be had, but none the less, we will smash out an update and for a second day in a row there has been no changes in the top ten. 
     
    Miker07 remains firmly seated on the throne with 377.20 million points, being followed by Ben_F at arms length with 344.38 million points and then up comes Justaphf with 240.78 million points. justaphf is certainly looking a little lackluster today when looking at those around then in the ranks. Mxyzpylk is in forth place with 232.07 million points with IgorSinelnikov steaming at full pelt behind him, taking fifth place with 206.98 million points. Igor has been impressive maintain his ship at full speed and is looking to certainly be a challenger for the podium at their current rate of production if they can maintain it. But it has yet to be seen if they have the will and compute power to challenge the throne. 
     
    Favebook is in 6th place with 130.60 million points, followed by Pezui with 114.72 million points and 8th is still occupied by LazyDev with 113.18 million points. I think unless we see a bump in production from Pezui we shall see Lazy leapfrog them in the next update. vsteel is in 9th place with 99.44 million points followed closely by the honourable gate keeper, Starman57 with 98.45 million points. I have to say the last two on the list are neck and neck, both in production and total points, it wouldn't take much for starman to push ahead, with only a handful of CPU cores or even the lowest end of GPU and time they could certainly advance. that is, as long as LazyDev doesn't have anything to say about it. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, Well, I don't know if exciting is the right work to explain the last couple of days here but ah well, we must push onwards and hope for some kind of upset in the days and weeks to come... anyone... anyone at all wanna do something interesting... walkinator has advanced nine places to 99th today, GodofROG also advanced 9 places to 54th today, Arrogath had a good day seeing him pushed into the top 30. lucid31 started folding for the first time today and as such gained 31 ranks in the last 24 hours.

    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Eight - 'Storm Igor' Rages On   
    The first day of the second week is over and we can see Igor has continued at his break neck speed. We have seen a few people start folding today which is nice to see. In all honesty there is so much going on today that it's a struggle to decide exactly what should go here. So we shall get right to the ranks. 
     
    Miker07 remains sitting on the throne with 285.67 million points, although this looks to be a strong showing and a safe position, only time will tell if Miker can keep a hand on that crown at the end of the event. Ben_F is in second place with 268.45 million points followed by Justaphf with 188.63 million points. It is certainly interesting to see that these ranks are not cemented in place, even now we can see that there are people below the top three who could force their way onto the podium in the coming weeks. Will we see a burst of activity from those currently occupying the top ranks, or will they simply watch on as they lose all that they have fought for. Mxyzptlk is looking healthy in fourth with 174.89 million points, but the exciting action is happening in fifth place with IgorSinelnikov advancing two more ranks with a total of 116.77 million points. The real interesting point to note here is the sheer volume of points this guy has churned out in the last 24 hours. We don't usually talk about work units here but a massive 325 WUs in a day is certainly something to take a note of. 
     
    Favebook sits in 6th with 102.64 million points followed by Pezui in 7th place with 92.68 million points, both if these guys have been knocked down a rank by Igor, which is a shame but that's the way folding month goes. LazyDev is in 8th place with 82.67 million points, with vsteel being next in line with 76.90 million points and finally the gate keeper today is Starman57 with 74.62 million points. Usually we don't take notice of rank 11, but with GOTSpectrum having 69 million points, I just felt the need to point that out. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, I know we have mentioned him a lot already but Igor's push is just something I can't help but comment on. His sudden production hike was just fully unexpected and it will be interesting to see if he can maintain that level and prove a challenge for the throne. Is this the start of a rebellion against the would be king, that has yet to be seen, but it is certainly fun to speculate on. Personally I'd love to see someone give Miker a fun for their money just to see what they top out at. It's good to see Sazrocks, who is currently in 100th, has finally started folding, and we are going to continue looking at parzival0741 who has advanced a further 3 ranks to 28th. walkinator has also started folding for the first time today finding themselves in 117th.

    It's nice to see that the event has surpassed the one billion point barrier. I'm seeing a number of people who hasn't folded in the last 23 hours. I think it's important for you guys to meet the minimum participation requirements in mind. 
     
    DISCLAIMER: Due to an issue with the master file provided by F@H this update will cover a 23 hour period, 00:00-23:00GMT. Tomorrows update cover 25 hours to make up for the loss. 
     
    For a third day in a row Miker07 has retained the throne with 97.18 million points, Ben_ in second place is certainly looking like he is ready to king the would-be king a run for their money, with 84.79 million points. The challenge can be seen in the fact that they out performed Miker by almost two million points. Third place continues to be held by Justaphf, with 67.27 million points, looks pretty comfortable at the moment, with no imminent threats to be seen. Mxyzptlk also has retained their rank so far with 45.65 million points. They are looking even safer than the guy in front currently as fifth place is help by Favebook with 37.07 million points. 
     
    Starman57 in 6th place, has a small chasm developing in front of them, holding their position with 31.15 million points. There are a couple people for them to be watching out for as people are speeding up to the aft. vsteel has kept hold of 7th place with 28.87 million points, but it is looking likely that by the next update that will be have knocked down a rank or two as those behind are ordering more steam. Pezui is looking to be advancing at a decent clip being rank 8 with 28.78 million points. I truly believe that if we we're to have had a full 24 hour update this battle for 7th place would have a different outcome, we shall be keeping a close eye to see the development. LazyDev, with 23.47 million points, has proven they are not so lazy, having picked up the pace and advancing two ranks over the last day or so. Finally we have dmynerd78 who has fallen back to take up the honour of being the gatekeeper with 23.46 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, We can see some people has lost the wind from their sails, and others have commanded the boilers to full heat. One thing is certain, there are many days left for things to change up. Overall not much has changed in the top 10, with many shuffles in the lower ranks happening as some push harder, whilst others are faltering already.

    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Two - Time Will Tell   
    It is good to see many people picking up the pace in the event. I will be interested to see if anyone has a sudden jump in production or if it will be a slow increase. 
     
    I have to say that I have missed this feeling, watching the ranks, hoping I can edge out those around me while scraping for whatever hardware I can get my hands on to push as many points as possible. Don't forget to watch your temps and keep yourself hydrated. 
     
    Miker07 continues to sit relatively unchallenged on the throne with 66.50 million points, Ben_F wouldn't need to find all that much more power to topple the new potential king, he is sitting in second place with 52.30 million points. Trailing behind by around 7m points Justaphf remains in third position with 45.79 million points. If they would like to advance any further up the rankings they will either have to pony up a good chunk of hardware or hope that those before him lose some steam in the coming days and weeks. Mxyzptlk has only gone and pushed themselves a rank up, taking the fourth spot with 27.02 million points. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain that position or if Favebook, who has 26.28 million points in fifth, can close the gap and leapfrog back to his opening day place. 
     
    Starman57 remains in 6th place with 21.37 million points, the top five is slowly pulling away and if they are looking to take on those above them. vsteel in 7th isn't looking very safe, with 19.93 million point it wouldnt take much for Pezui to mount a challenge with his 19.51 million points. dmynerd78 who is in 9th place with 16.09 million points, should also be looking over their shoulder. The new gatekeeper Alex atkin UK has given the order 'more steam!' They leapfrogged LazyDev and has taken 10th place. An interesting note, Alex slightly outperformed dmy over the last 24 hours. It's certainly something for 9th place to keep an eye on next update. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, some participants are still finding their feet and gaining pace while others seem to be looking like they need to put more coal in the boilers. How are things looking overall right now, with only two days of data its impossible to even begin to predict how things will look when the guns fans fall silent and we once again stand truly as a unified team. One thing is certain, there is going to be trials to come. Who can take the heat, who will push their hardware and who with be victorious when the dust settles. Only time will tell.

    Well here we are, folding month 2021 has kicked off and it's a smaller than average event. But nonetheless we will be doing our usual posts, validation and all of that juicy goodness.
     
    It is always my pleasure to write the first post of the event, to see who has kicked into high gear from the out-set and who taking some time to pick up their speeds and get folding. Only time will tell where everyone will finish, and I generally don't take much notice of where people are sitting this early in the event. But it is still interesting to have an idea of who is pushing hard and who is meandering their way through the event. 
     
    In first place we have Miker07 with 34.04 million points, Certainly not a slough and it will be interesting if anyone can challenge this veteran. Second place is taken by Ben-F with 22.47 million points, and following very closing behind in third place we have Justaphf with 22.02 million points. It will be interesting too see if Justaphf can push a few more points and take that second place away from Ben. Favebook finds themselves in fourth place with 12.70 million points, trailing behind by only a million points we have Mxyzptlk sitting in fifth place with 11.76 million points. And that is the top five place on the close of the first day. 
     
    Starman57 is sitting in 6th place with 10.67 million points, it wouldn't take much more effort to push into the top 5, vsteel is in 7th place with 9.98 million, and within spitting distance 8th place is Pezui with 9.81 million points. 9th place is taken by dmynerd78 with 8.16 million points. LazyDev has found themselves as the gatekeeper of the top ten place with 7.85 million points. 
     
    So as you can see it is certainly exciting here at Folding month 2021, it is important to remember than these initial rankings will change, as this is a marathon not a sprint. As the event goes on and the ranks develop we will look into the lower ranks and point out anyone who is interesting. but for the time being I think I will leave it there.

    I believe it is important that during the times of outlining and appreciating the efforts of high rankings we reflect on why we are folding. We give thanks to those that made it possible and treasure each and every single person that pushed and folded against this invisible enemy.
     
    Coronavirus has claimed over 100,000 lives across the globe, infecting over two million people. This is why we fold, this is the reason we have been brought together. Only in times of such hardship do we see the best and worst of mankind. People from all walks of life doing what they can to help, volunteering, folding, shopping and delivering for their communities, singing, cheering to our key workers. This is the embodiment of humanity, this is how our generation should be remember during this crisis. We are strong, united, resolute. We will not let ourselves be overcome by fear for as long as we have each other. So, go fourth caring with respect, with patience, with tolerance, with kindness in your heart, because it is surely needed in today's world.
     
    Before we get into the rankings there are a few things I want to mention;
     
    1. Although I have been the fact of this event I want everyone to take a moment to give thanks to @Metallus97 for his amazing contribution with the FAQ, tech support and help with the datasheet, @j1philli who has been a tremendous help with validating entries on the sheet and finally @leadeater who wrote the script we used for ensuring smooth data collection. 
     
    2. I'd like everyone to head over and donate a few dollars to Jason at EOC, his servers must have taken a beating with all the traffic we have thrown at the guy over the last few weeks 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 so he knows it came from team LTT, mine said 'With love for LTT, thanks for everything you do.'
     
    3. I'd like to give a personal thanks to everyone who has been understanding of my own health during this event, it was hastily thrown together which lead to more issues than usually found!
     
    4. Finally I'd like to ask that you continue to fold, for the benefit of all of us, even if it is in a far more limited capacity moving forward. 
     
    It has been an exciting event, despite the darkness that looms over the world currently many of us, including myself have found a little lightness on the event thread, this doesn't have to end, we do have a Folding Community Board in which you can continue the conversation in all its glory! You can find that Here! 
     
    I want to give thanks to everyone who has been involved folding for TeamLTT over the last few weeks, no matter if you are folding only a few points a day or millions, no matter if you signed up to the event or not, your hard work and dedication is appreciated! Don't forget that if you talk about folding on twitter use the hastag #TeamLTT and I will be trying to keep an eye on it, so now, after you have read this post and feel the need to go troll PCMR a little, and lets be honest, after the pitiful attempt to challenge us, you will feel the need. We can all be a little more connected! 
     
    In first place, we have @Macaw2000 with an impressive 339,946,109 points warned with 5,613 Work units over the 14 days of the event. He utilised mercenaries well to make a final dash for the throne and now he sits comfortably, in the plush luxury smiling upon those that stand below him. 
     
    Second place we have the great oppressor, the disgraced king, @Den-Fi, who failed to take by his throne lost during the great crusades of Folding Month 2019. With 296,964,235 Points achieved with a surprising small 1,444 Work Units it has to be said that he certainly had one of the highest P/WU ratios in the event. 
     
    Third place we see is occupied by @walderston, who, given just a little more time could have snatched the silver spot from the fallen king. 237,268,117 Points taken with 1,261 Work Units is nothings to bite your thumb at for sure. But he will be left wondering if he can do better next event!
     
    Fourth place is taken by the veteran @miker07 who has once again proved his worth with 196,425,757 points taken through 2,203 Work units. Forth place is nothing to be ashamed with but it will be interesting to see if he expands his forces by the time folding month comes around. 
     
    Fifth place finds @ZombieStew content with his first showing in a LTT Folding event, 145,684,152 Points and 2,079 Work units. He will certainly be looking forward to future events!
     
    Sixth place we have another newcomer, @Unilevers, a fine showing that we hope to see again in the future. 
     
    Seventh place is @bafo_ah, another newbie shaking up the team with a good showing.
     
    Eighth place is @wi3si, it will be excited to see if they can muster any more force for the future.
     
    Ninth place can be claimed by @Ayren, who only folded for 13 days should be asking did that one day down cosy them too much?
     
    Tenth place is where we leave this today, @GalaxyNetworks is the proud holder of 10th, the gatekeeper, but will they be bettering themselves next time out.

    Legs Eleven anyone? It looks like the fall of the king may be on the horizon... How will he respond? Is the king to take up arms or abdicate his throne?
     
    Today's drink, Comforting Old Fashioned
     
    Currently counting his days on the throne we have The King @Den-Fi with 233.76 million points! He has been sitting comfortably for most of the event but @Macaw2000 has rallied the mercenaries of the cloud to help oust the king, taking the number two spot with 214.07 million points it looks all but certain that he will find himself occupying the throne by the time the curtain falls. In third place we have @miker07 with 149.88 million points, he can look at the rear view mirror with some relaxation as seems to be fairly stable in the bronze spot. In forth place we have @walderston, with 146.7m points he can be proud of his achievements so far in the event for sure! In fifth place we have the eater of brains, @ZombieStew, with 114.0 million points it has to be said that he has done well for himself despite being a member of the dead.
     
    @Ayren in 6th place seems to be losing steam with 104m points they can be somewhat confident of a decent ranking by the end of the event for sure. 7th place we see @Unilevers steaming ahead full bore, with 85m points they will certainly need to push hard if they are looking to make some headway up the ranks. @bafo_ah this strangely named individual has captured the rank of 8th so far with 85m points, but there is come aggressive moved being made to their rear that they will need to be conscious about if they wish to make that spot their own. In 9th place we find @Xoggy with 81m points, @n0xlf is slightly out producing him but with only 66m points there is some distance to clear if advancement is the aim of the game here!
     
    11th place is seated by @LAR_Systems with 64m points. @kto can be found taking the number 12 spot with 55m points. In 13th we have an interesting case, @GalaxyNetworks seems to have picked up the pace currently sitting on 55m points there is a possibility of leadfrogging a few of the ranks above. In 14th we have @HybridTI with 54m points and finally in 15th place we have @BlackAda with 53m. But as the gate-keeper of the top 15 he will need to look out as a number of lower ranks are looking for a promotion!

    Sorry about the short post but as you can tell from the time that I'm posting this nothing has been easy. Mt plan to to get it nice and tidy but then something came up, dealt with that. Then something else came up, been dealing with that one. It's a hard juggling act to say the least, fun times guys!!!!

    Here we are ladles and gentlespoons! The second week, the ranks are starting to look a lot clearer as time goes on!

    Well there has been some serious issues with the stats over at EOC recently, hypothetically our stats should be mostly sound, minus the known issue on F@Hs part regarding some WUs not being credited, that is something that affects us all so shouldn't have a massive impact on the rankings! The sheer explosion of interest in folding at home is truly amazing, and to think that we have been a part of this just as amazing. Thank you to everyone who has folded so far, together we will make the world a better place! 
     
    In first place we have the king, @Den-Fi with 147.53 million points, I think it is time for us all to admit that no one is going to be stealing the throne from him this time around! In second place we have @miker07 who always knows how to make a splash, with 86.50 million points the veteran of folding events is showing he can hang with the best of them! In third place we have @ZombieStew, a newbie to the events but none the less has proven his worth with 74.3 million points! 4th is taken by @Macaw2000 with 67.6 million points, the guys got game, you gotta give him that. Outproducing the number two and three spot he could very well have his eyes set on a greater prize! 5th place is occupied by @Ayren, with 67.2 million points must be feeling somewhat comfortable in that position as @Xoggy is behind with a total of 52.2m points and could find it hard to catch up at this rate. @walderston on the other hands seems to have seriously picked up the pace, with 51.3m it could very well be that we find Walder taking 6th by next update. 8th place we see @bafo_ah, 45.2m points is what it has taken so far to bag the number 8 spot, only a stones-throw behind we find @wi3si. The gatekeeper to the top ten is @Unilevers with 43.4m points. 11th is taken by @n0xlf with 36.7m points, 12th place is @BAW01 with 35.3m points, 13th place is @BlackAda with 34.8m. In 14th place we have @LAR_Systems netting 34.4m points and finally in 15th we have @HybridTI with 33.7m points.

    Today we can see that TeamLTT have normalised our production, managing 4.2-4.4 billion points per day, that, my friends, is simply beautiful. The best part, it is only possibly because every one of us have turned our rigs on and get stuck in!

    I know that this is a lot of fun for us all but I just want to remind everyone why we are here, folding. According to this webpage, in the world we have 932,214 cases of COVID-19, with 46,826 deaths. These numbers alone are scary, but then when you add into it the fact of in paces places around the world COVID is only just setting in. I was once asked who I folded for, and I said it was my grandfathers who passed from various forms of cancers. But the truth is I fold for every person on this planet. I fold for the grandchildren who shouldn't have to lose relations as soon. I fold for people who suffer with a wide range of conditions every day. I fold because I hope that one day, I will make a difference. Most probably, almost everyone I make a difference too I will never meet. But, that, right there, is humanity. 
     
    Today I ask, for everyone to take 10 mins away from their phones, computers, TVs, and just live. Prayer, meditation, go for a walk, call your grandparents, read to your kid. Whatever you like to do. Because the truth is, we don't know how long we have left, whether that be from COVID or something else.

    Today we see a turning point with WUs flowing much more consistently and points being thrown around like @Gorgons Canadian Dollars on Newegg!
     
    PSA, Don't forget to check your slots are productive!
     
    Today's drink is, Scotch from the bottle
    As the production of the whole team continues to soar to new heights it will be interesting to see how much more we have left in the tank. Everyone is jumping in on this and we are really seeing some great results, so please, keep folding and dont forget to tell your friends about the glorious, Honorable... TEAMLTT!!! Let's push this team to new highs(No not that kinda high Canada), Lets really band together and paint the folding scene ORANGE!
     
    The king @Den-Fi has rallied the troops to make sure he can rout any who dare to challenge him! With 90.34 million points he is starting to look unstoppable, @ZombieStew Is looking comfortable in second place with 48.43 million but with 4th place boosting production will he manage to stay there till the end! Third placve isnt looking all that secure, @miker07 is really going to have to pull a 2080ti rabbit out of his hat if he is wanting to hold onto that silver position. In fourth place @Xoggy is making waves! With a total of 33.0 millionpoints and a production of over 12m points in the last 24 hours he will be looking forward to take the 2 and 3 spot. In fifth place we have @Ayren with 28.3 million points!
     
    Going to be a short post today as I want to make sure the main system is all good before I end up having issues with folding!

    Ladles and gentlespoons, four days down, ten days to go, it seems like many people have been clambering to up their production, but how much of a difference is this likely to make, only time will tell!
     
    Todays PSA is to remind you all to check your temps and dust out your system as required! 
     
    Today's drink is, Bulleit Bourbon and Pepsi max
     
    The great team of LTT continues to steam ahead, blowing all previous records out of the water! It was once said that when the call to action came in the enthusiast community would be too selfish to mobilise in great numbers, well here we are! Standing tall, proud, unified! We have dedicated so many resources, so much time, and power. We throw ourselves into the task, babysitting our devices, reading up ways to maximise our production, supporting each other! Thank you to every single one of you who has joined the fight against COVID-19, and I hope to see you hang around the folding team after all this is over. All are welcome here at team LTT!
     
    Look at this amazing Video from EOC that shows our climb up the ranks, and I believe it would be amazing to see this climb continue. 
     
     
    In first place the king @Den-Fi sits on his throne, holding onto the crown with an amazing 64.49 million points, he id really pulling ahead and now we find ourselves asking, can he be conquered. Second place is occupied by @ZombieStew, but with 37.85 million points I'm sure he has come to terms with the fact that he won't be sitting on any thrones by the end of this. @miker07 takes third place with 36.95 million points, he could seriously be looking to take the number two spot if he can only find himself a little more grunt to throw at the problem. With a wide gap opening up behind him he must be feeling pretty secure as @Xoggy comes in fourth with 25.4 million points, the X man doesn't have the power needed to advance further by the looks of it and there are a few further down the table that could be a challenge to him over the coming days. Fifth place is taken up by @n0xlf, it looks like they have had a tough day folding only bagging 3.4m points bringing his total up to 23.5 million, if he is wanting to keep that spot there needs to be more power thrown at the problem! @Fapasaurus is in 6th with 19.2m points, but with a production of 4.8m he could prove to be a challenger for the ahead of him if he plays the cards rights. Sitting 1.9m points behind him we find @BlackAda with 17.3m points. @Favebook finding himself in in 8th in such a large competition goes to show some of the pedigree we have here in the ranks, but, as he will know quite well, everything can change during the event. With 16.8m points he is in a precarious place, as not far behind we have @Unilevers who has already been promoted from the gatekeeper spot with 16.5m. The new man of the gate of the top 10 is @Ayren, with 15.9m it can be said that they are pulling theor weight to keep that place in the rankings for sure! 11th place we have @LAR_Systems who has fallen out of grace with the folding gods and has fallen down the stack, holding on with 15.6m it's all to place for to squeeze into the top 10! @Yabdat, another well seasoned folder is sitting in 12th place with a comfortable 15.5m, he will almost certainly be looking at these numbers closely to see if theres an advantage to be had. But, it will be important for him to cast his eyes to his rear as we have @HybridTI outpacing him and only a divide of 200k points separate the two folders. But the predator that is @Macaw2000 is firing on all cylinders, having both of them in their sights by outproducing then with a total of 15.2 million points so far! And in 15th place we have @catawalks, the walker of cats, the purveyor of felines, holding into the last of the top 15 spots with 15.1m points.
     
    Looking down the stack we do have some more interesting guys popping up, like @BlueSpartan, who with a production of 2.5m points in the last day could truly be planning to make a splash. @cyberguy91, @abakus3k and @madarus are also ones to watch for sure in the coming days!
     
    As you can see it all so very exited here. With the top spots being passed back and forth as people try their bast to force more production out of their machine, but, be cautious, because if you push it too far you may drop WUs and although this early in the game it may not be world-ending. I'm sure you'd end up with a little egg on your face regardless!

    xWeegix reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day One - In the beginning he said, let there be folds, and it was good.   
    And the first day of the event has officially taken off. 
     
    But first, a PSA, due to data corruption these stats run until 0300GMT, 28th of march, so the stats here reflect 27 hours of folding. As for the participation requirements, they will remain as is FOR NOW, but this is under review and after reviewing the first few days a decision will be made and announced on that days blog. Don't forget to follow this blog to keep up to date!
     
    Well it can be said that today we are heroes, today we unite with all other folding teams to show the world just how much we are capable of. Pushing the Folding@Home network right to the brink of what it is capable of, breaking past the one exaflop barrier and becoming the fastest computing system in the world by a significant margin, and we are growing. Team LTT makes up almost 25% of the networks production, that, is truly a sight to behold. But I expect we have more to give, I expect team LTT will rise to the challenge like never before. Because that's just who we are! 
     
    This is just another PSA for the new guys here, the folding team is a small close knit community, so here's a few things I'd like you all to keep in mind. It doesn't hurt to say thank you, if someone has genuinely helped you out don't forget to drop a reaction on their posts, help others where ever you can and finally we are a team first and always. 
     
    It has been some time since I has to write a daily report, so bare with me, sit back and enjoy. 
     
    Be proud of what you are a part of on this day, be proud of the fact so many of us, from all teams have rallied when the the call to action came in, be proud that you are doing something that is for the benefit of all! Bask in the glory of the power of the whole Folding Network. This is not an event where it is us vs them, there is only US in these dark times. 
     
    In first place we have the king! @Den-Fi with 12.01 million points, he has set himself apart from the pack, the question is, can he manage to keep his throne this time around, In second place we have @ZombieStew training behind the king by 1.6 million points holding onto his position with 10.41 million points, one of the many new names to us here at the LTT folding team, he will be looking to leave his mark with his debut, but the question remains, can they keep pace with the king? In third place we have @miker07 a seasoned veteran of the team looking to show that even with all the new folders, he can shine as bright as ever!  He has a gap of 760 thousand points, taking third place with 8.7 million points. Fourth place is held onto by @Xoggy with 7.2 million points, a name I know well, he is making a splash with some serious production so far, but can he maintain steam. Fifth place is current occupied by @Fapasaurus, I hope his GPUs can move WU as fast as his hands can.. er.. you know, with 6.2 million points he's nothing if not production. 
     
    6th place is taken by @BlackAda, another new name who is seeming like a great addition to the team! with 5.6m points hes one to watch for sure, 7th place has @Macaw2000 with 4.9 million points, lots of new faces up top, its nice to see. 8th place is occupied by another veteran, @Favebook with 4.6m points, not far behind him with 4.5m points we have another seasoned named, @Yabdat. The already well known charitable crustacean @Zberg taking the number 10 spot with 4.1m points. He is the gate keeper of the top 10, but will he be W00P W00Ping his way to a nice finish or is he destined to end us being boiled alive, only time will tell!
     
    11th place has another well known face, @catawalks, I'm not sure how a feline can operate a folding rig and I hope they keep they fans covered with some good dust filters with all that fur, but 3.9m points is nothing to hiss at! The question is, will the cat manage to be the hunter, or is @GOTSpectrum ready to pounce as he is only a stone-throws behind with 3.8m points. 13th is taken by @Unilevers, the question is can they hand out WUs like they do food products, with 3.7m points its all to play for here! In 14th place we find @ykdave and 'you know dave' with just 100 points behind you could very well well show unilevers just what it takes to cut the mustard. @HybridTI is also eyeing up advancing up the ranks being only 10k behind dave. 
     
    During this update the top 10 make up 5.7% of the total, the top 50 can claim 14.3% and the top 100 can be proud with their just over 20% stake.
