Peter_Purves, Linus Tech Teams' Folding@Homes top producing member since March, has overtaken Anonymous1957 for the top spot in our overall team rankings, with 517,106,344 vs. Anons' 516,951,617 points!

 

I did not see any obvious forum member name for Peter_Purves, but if you are reading this, "Way to GO!!!" 

 

For those interested in a short? summary of the ranking details, read on... 
(please pardon the horse racing style sound of this summary - the similarities are too hard to ignore... The member names have been shortened to improve readability)

December of last year, LTT member PrimalNaCl, our top producer and #1 in total points at that time (with around 336M (!)), was slowing down production and was eventually outproduced by Anonymous1957 ('57) around Dec. 9th (both producing over 2M points per day at that time).  '57 was still about 100M total points behind, but Primal quit production entirely the first week of January, with a total of almost 385M points, leaving the field wide open for '57, whose production peaked at just over 3M/day (whoa!) later that month.  

By Feb. 2, '57 passed up Primal in total points.  However, by Feb. 8, '57s production had dropped to the point where Peter_Purves (PP) became a contender for the new production leader (both producing over 1.6M ppd), and they played tag for 1st place through March (with a notable 2 week lead by ericvolp12 averaging around 2M ppd), all the while with PP nibbling away at the total points gap with '57, bringing it down to less than 110M by the end of March.  

March 27 was '57s last production lead, with 1.8M ppd, and declined significantly after that, dropping out of the top 10 by Apr. 27 and finishing the month at #59 in production.  Meanwhile PP led the whole month of April, closing the gap with '57 to less than 78M total points, while Crashfodder held #2, and Yours truly stayed consistently in #3 with a little over 1M ppd.

May was mostly the same, with Crashfodder and I swapping positions on the 28th, and Crash dropping farther after that.  Meanwhile, after not even starting the month in the top 100, '57 fought their way back to the top 10 by the end of the month, finishing with around 497M points, leaving PP a scant 32M and change behind in total points.

June was a little more interesting, with PP in a firm lead, usually staying in the 1.6M-1.8M ppd range, while AlphaBravo, Crashfodder and Yours truly, battled it out for #2 in the 1M to 1.2M ppd range.  Meanwhile '57 managed to stay between #5 to #9, producing roughly 440k to 740k ppd, which brings us to the last day of June, with Peter_Purves a scant 163140 points behind '57 in the Extreme Overclocking 6pm CST team member rank list, the next update follows:

Yea, but at our current team production of around 21M ppd, we are well off our high of 36M ppd back in March.
