    Eschew 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.

All event badges have been handed out already without any intervention needed from you guys, PLEASE DO NOT message me or the team about event badges. These badges are handled internally by the mod team and have been done already. If you ain't got one, then you didn't qualify. 
     
    The winners will have 7 days from the publication of this post to claim the prize, if the prize goes unclaimed it may be raffled again, if it is not then it will be added to the community pool for future events. In order to claim the Prize you will need to PM me here on the forum, with the subject;
     
    'Give me my prize, oh fair captain!'
     
    To claim an Amazon voucher you will need to produce some details such as email and the amazon region you use. If you use a currency different to USD we will give you the closest amount in your own currency. 
     
    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. In the meantime if you are wanting to keep up to date with any future events you can follow me on the forum, or/and follow the folding community board.

    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, the end of the event draws near and we have certainly been pushing hard. 
     
    Mxyzptlk is looking in good form to be passing the billion point mark before the end of the event. Id Igor is wanting to take the throne they will certainly need to recover big style, my guess if they have been folding on AWS and have been affected by the outage. LazyDev is really pushing hard to take over cbigfoots, and they are going to need to push harder if they are wanting to leapfrog. We have just passed 25 billion for the whole team, which is truly amazing.

    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.

    Well it is looking like we will see another billion in the next update, I'm not going to write too much as I have caught the stomach flu from my partner who is nursey nurse and is constantly giving me various illnesses. 
     
    Miker07 has remained firmly on the throne throughout this event, sitting in first place with 1,044.57 million points, I have to say it is nice to write in the thousands, followed closely by IgorSinelnikov with 984.53 million points, It has to be said that Igor is pushing hard and if he were here I'm sure I'd see the dedication in his eyes, the determination on his face as he ploughs forward, in hopes of obtaining the ultimate glory. Ben_F finds himself in third place with 910.72 million points and it has to say he is certainly looking very comfortable in third place. Fourth place is taken up by Mxyzptlk with a respectable, if not slight demonic, 666.20 million points and finally in the top five we have Justaphf, who has been competing in many competitions and yet still don't know what a 'phf' is, is in fifth place with 609.58 million points. 
     
    Favebook in 6th place with 312.98 million points, followed by Pezui with 290.35 million points and GOTSpectrum is taking up the number 8 spot with 278.82 million points, Starman57 is in 9th place with 277.23 million points and finally we have the honourable gatekeeper vsteel with 259.39 million points.

    Eschew reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Twenty One - Igor is Up   
    Well, as predicted Igor has advanced, there's been some share ups in the lower ranks and we are entering week four. We have been running projections of likely outcomes and I'm excited to talk about some of those. 
     
    Miker07 is sitting on the throne for the third week in a row, finding himself in first place with 912.71 million points, Up next we have IgorSinelnikov, he has moved up a rank and is in second place with 796.40 million points. Third place we have Ben_F, who has lost out to Igor, taking the spot with 791.35 million points. Mxyzptlk has found themselves in fourth place, keeping it the same as yesterday, with 571.95 million points and fifth place is Justaphf with 535.95 million points. 
     
    Favebook is in 6th place with 279.20 million points, followed by Pezui in 7th place with 247.67 million points and 8th place is occupied by GOTSpectrum with 242.11 million points. In number 9 we see Starman57 with 233.42 million points and finally the honourable gatekeeper is vsteel with 223.84 million points. 
     
    So how are the projections looking, If all things remain as they are today Miker will be crowned and Igor will miss out. If Igor is wanting to take that number one spot, he will need to produce another 1.5 million points per day on average. And that is only if Miker doesn't step up his game in response. But man will be it be close. 
     
    mpreston could be as high as 28th, whereas GrockleTD could see himself falling to 28th. With that said, I think the margins on some of these ranks are razer thin and it could be anyones game in the lower ranks.

    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.

    Eschew 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.

    Eschew 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.

    It is interesting to see how little movement there are in the ranks. My guess would be most people are running flat out and don't have anything more to give. Good guys, I love to see you tapping everything you can. 
     
    I'm not going to be writing out the ranks today, I have an early appointment and there's been no change in anything we usually report on.
     
    So, as you can see it remains (less than) exciting at Folding Month 2021, We have had a new folder start today, soldier_ph has joined the active list producing 525,916 points today. Other than this I'm going to let you guys make your own opinions. So please, feel free to comment on how you thing the event is going so far. Do you think Miker will be the one with the crown at the end of it all, or someone else. Anyone you think we should be keeping an eye on, share your thoughts, I'll be reading.

    Eschew 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.

    Another quiet one up at the top of the ranks but there is certainly some interesting movement to be seen a little down the table, so let's concentrate on that today, but first onto the ranks as usual. 
     
    Miker07 is looking like Unsinkable Sam sitting on the throne with 423.79 million points, But only time will tell is he is a Sam, or if he's more like a bismarck, following up second in line is Ben_F with 387.76 million points who is looking quite safe currently, and in third we have Justaphf with 267.84 million points. Mxyzptlk is in fourth place with 257.88 million points and finally in top five we have IgorSinelnikov with 254.61 million points. There may be some interests changes in the next day or two as Igor is pushing on ahead without faltering. 
     
    Favebook is in 6th place with 144.37 million points and we have our first and only movement in the top ten with LazyDev advancing to 7th place with 128.57 million points meaning Pezui has dropped a rank to 125.71 million points. vsteel is in 9th place with 111.30 million points and finally we have the honourable gate keeper, Starman57 sitting in 10th place with 109.06 million points. 
     
    Well bigfoot messaging me on discord just woke me up at my desk so lets make this quick. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, sazrocks has push up a further 17 ranks to 45th,  Antistatic12,  gremlicious and  benlinuxguy have also seen decent gains over the last 24 hours. Also we have seen Elektra57 start folding for the first time today which is nice to see. So far this week we have made just shy of 2 billion points which is amazing to see. Keep on pushing yourselves guys, theres glory to be won! The most interesting viewing in my opinion is Igor who will certainly be advancing in the next update or two.

    Eschew 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.

    It has been strangely quiet over the last 24 hours. There have been a few large rank changes through the ranks but for the most part it's much of the same. 
     
    Miker07 has once again proved why he is sitting on the throne, with 329.23 million points, an interesting note is he has pushed more points today than he has managed on any other day of the event thus far. Following him is Ben_F who is sitting in second with 306.68 million points and further down the ranks we have Justaphf with 213.72 million points in third place. Mxyzptlk is in fourth place with 203.32 million points with IgorSinelnikov following behind in fifth place with 159.52 million points. 
     
    Favebook is in 6th with 117.10 million points, Pezui take up 7th with 103.71 million points and 8th place is LazyDev with 97.98 million points. 9th place is vsteel with 87.85 million point and finally for the third day in a row the gate keeper is Starman57 with 86.92 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, Anyone else getting deja vous, with no rank changes in the top ten, and few large swings through the ranks theres not much to comment on over the last 24 hours. parzival0741 climbed another 5 ranks which is good to see. GodofROG has gained 14 ranks today and with the production we are seeing out of them we can only guess they will be gaining many more ranks in the coming days. sazrocks is another example of big gains seeing a 27 place jump in the last 24 hours. AndrewZScorpion who is currently in 121th has had a noteworthy run gaining 8 places. Also we have seen JackIV start folding for the first time today.

    Eschew 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.

    Eschew reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Seven - Ramming Speed   
    It is interesting, we are now one whole week into the event and the second week has started. Despite this we are seeing massive changes afoot across the majority of the ranks. Right as I thought the top ten ranks had become stale we have Igor commanding ramming speed and forced his way up the ranks. Now, he must maintain this breakneck pace if he is wanting to capitalise on this sprint over the coming weeks. Miker07 has stepped up once again in what can only be a bid to scare off the anyone who may want to challenge his place on the throne. But there are still 4 more weeks, 28 more days to go. A lot can change in 28 days. 
     
    Miker07 has once again set the bar just that little bit higher, showing he will not give up the throne without a fight, he remains in the number one spot with 246.55 million points. In all honesty it is not looking like anyone can catch the man at this pace so far, but there is still certainly a lot of event still to go. Ben_F maintains his place in second with 231.87 million points, Ben_F has maintains roughly the same pace as yesterday and if he is wanting to be crowned at the end of the event hew will certainly have to pick up the pace significantly for a second time. There is a significant margin before we see Justaphf in third place with 163.48 million points, with Mxyzptlk, who is in fourth place with 145.10 million points, slowly gaining on the podium. Favebook has continues to maintain his place in the ranking with 89.44 million points. 
     
    Pezui with 80.01 million points in 6th is the last of the top of the table to escape the onslaught of IgorSinelnikov, who over the past 24 hours has gained seven places to find himself in 7th place with 72.27 million points. Igor looks as if he is out for blood and is gunning for the top echelons of the table, it will be interesting to see if they can maintain this pace, or even exceed in the coming days and weeks. LazyDev has also managed to gain a place over the last 24 hours and they can be found in 8th place with 67.46 million points, even with this small victory in hand, it is looking like this could be the end of the road for their advancement unless they find more power, or someone higher up shits the bed and can't recover. vsteel has fallen a rank to 9th place with 66.09 million points and Starman57 has fallen three ranks to take up the duty of being the honour guard, the gate keeper with 65.83 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, 20% of the event has gone already, it is interesting to see how things are shaping up. Further down the ranks parzival0741 has gained an impressive further seven ranks in the past 24 hours. Mastersam123 who is currently in 44th place has had a good day gaining 8 ranks and GodofROG who is currently in 61st place has gained 14 ranks today. But as you all know, one persons gain is another persons loss, and if you poke them hard enough some may poke back.

    Eschew reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Six - Miker07 Steps Up   
    There has been zero movement in the top ten ranks today, I gotta be up early so I'm gonna make this one quick. 
     
    Well Miker07 needed to step it up a gear and he sure did. Upping production and looking quite safe on the throne with 205.31 million points. Ben_F is sitting in second place with 196.01 million points followed distantly by Justaphf with 138.24 million points. Mxyzptlk is in fourth place with 116.93 million points. Favebook is in fifth place still with 75.90 million points. 
     
    Rank 6 continues to be held by Pezui with 65.80 million points, But Starman57 in 7th place seems to have lost a boiler and their production has take a serious dent. He currently has 58.12 million points. vsteel in is 8th place with 56.18 million points and following closely is LazyDev with 54.63 million points. Finally the gatekeeper remains to be GOTSpectrum with 49.16 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, although there has been little movement at the top of the table the same can't be said for the lower ranks. It is certainly interesting to see who manages to keep and who seems to have given in to the heat already. I think I may give a ping tomorrow to those who are not folding over the next 24 hours.

    Eschew reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Five - Shuffles   
    Well there have been some serious shuffling going on in the ranks today. As you can see all the way from rank six downwards is just a sea of green and red notification colours showing the shuffling ranks. So the disclaimer for today is the fact I'm more than a bottle of wine into the sesh and I'm not 100% with it so let's hope I can write something at least coherent. 
     
    Miker07 is making this look easy, five days on the throne with 167.10 million points. But, the slow march against him continues as Ben_F sits in second place with 159.09 million points. For another day in a row Ben has outproduced Miker. It's like watching a train crash in slow motion, but will Miker manage to find just that little bit more to keep him ahead. Justaphf has kept up the pace and remains in third place with 112.83 million points. Mxyzptlk is in fourth place with 90.86 million points. Another one to watch, as he could be making a slow move for the rank ahead. Favebook is sitting in fifth place with 62.73 million points and is looking relatively safe right about now. 
     
    Pezui has advanced into rank 6 with 52.71 million points, it has been exciting to see Pezui over the last few days. But with that said it's not looking like they will be advancing any further without some serious fleet modernisation. Starman57 has lost out a ranks and fallen to 7th place with 50.37 million points. vsteel is in 8th place with 46.72 million points, but they are not looking all that safe currently and I won't be surprised to see them slipping down the ranks in the coming days. LazyDev finds themselves in 9th place for the second day in and row and is certainly looking healthy for the time being with 43.59 million points. Finally we have a new gatekeeper, GOTSpectrum has managed to climb the ranks and finds themselves taking up the honour guard position with 39.96 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, We can see Ben_F continues to push against the would-be king, it is a slow but concerted effort. There have been so much shuffling that it is hard to single any individual out but we can see parzival0741 has climbed another 15 ranks over the last day. Impressive to see such large moved happening but not totally unbelieve being so low in the ranks. gremlicious has ceased folding for an unknown reason and is falling down the ranks fast. It is certainly interesting to watch the ranks change over time. There are come moves happening that will certainly be interesting over the weekend.

    Eschew reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Four - Interesting Moves   
    So what have we all been up to today, obviously... FOLDING. It is exciting to see some of the stragglers are now getting themselves moving the right direction with a few more people starting to fold for the first time today. Also you will notice that for the first time ever we are showing rank deltas on the daily spreadsheets. Let me know if this is something you would like to continue on future updates or if they should be removed. 
     
    DISCLAIMER: Due to yesterdays issue with the master file provided by F@H this update will cover a 25 hour period, Including the last hour of the previous day. 
     
    Four days in a row Miker07 has remained defiantly on the thrown, taking up the number one spoint with 132.32 million points. But there is a slow challenge afoot. Ben_F who is occupying the second rank with 122.80 million points has outproduced the would-be king for a second day in a row. If all continues as is, we are likely to see the pressure on Miker mounting towards the end of the first week. Third place is taken by Justaphf, with 90.81 million points although they certainly won't be a challenge for anyone ahead, there is also a significant margin behind, with Mxyzptlk taking the number four spot with 67.02 million points. In the rear of the top five ranks we have Favebook with 49.32 million points. 
     
    Starman57 has kept rank six so far with 40.31 million points but there are rumblings behind, as multiple threats from behind are steaming ahead at full bore poised to challenge in the coming days. Pezui has advanced a rank to 7th with 39.22 million points, this means vsteel has lost out and find themselves in 8th place with 37.98 million points. But vsteel could miss out event further as LazyDev in defiance of their own name has commanded 'Make All Sail' and is currently in 9th place with 33.64 million points. Finally we have yet another new honourable gatekeeper, Alex Atkin UK has advanced a rank to take the tail end of the pack with 32.67 million points. 
     
    So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, We can see that although the challenge is slow, Ben_F is certainly making a run on the throne. Lower down the ranks we can see Grockle making decent progress up the ranks. But I think the best clipper in the lower ranks has to be the amazing speed we are seeing from parzival0741 who has gained an amazing 25 ranks over the last day or so. As always those in the lower ranks are slogging it out and the usual shuffles are ongoing as always.

    Eschew reacted to GOTSpectrum for a blog entry, Day Three - One Billion   
    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.
