:lol: Looks like it will be my last >MAM< for a long time [thank goodness] with our new found friends, I can sit back and watch the fun.... My few :woot: only helped us scoot, while their thusters may take us back into the space we knew so well, in a galaxy, so long ago.... :clap: :jump: :clap:

Good showing by all of the >MAM<'sters :hamster::hamster: :hamster:

And I cannot welcome too much, our new members... a phrase comes to mind, from a couple of Bruce Willis movies, where he looks at the pile of a mentor vanguished an says:

"Yippee Kye eh M...... F......" :xwtf:

:xpopworm: What a hoot :xohyes:

What a way to start a week... I'll have to grab some coffee and watch :nod: :lol: -doc

[Farley]

Great report HW!

Welcome once again Robert... :)

Congrats NM_Arian on the POD :thumbsup:

Welcome back Hawk!! Good to have ya crunching space again :nod:

Can I make a request?? Hog, how hard would it be if you gave the W00ts difference between us and the next team up? So we have an idea of how far till the next stomp... :)

[The Doctor]

:lol: Make the old:cowboy:buck-a-roo do the math too :roflmao: doc

[Hogward]

Lordy, but you guys are harsh on an old man :lol:

Okay, for the next team up (Seti Alpha AU), and using the Club statistics from Seti @ home, lets see, now...

hmmm... Seti Alpha AU is at 583,415 and Team Ninja-The Next Generation is at 555,236 ummm.... well, let's see now....

... and the answer is: Uhh, they are ahead of us by a margin of 28,179 w00ts right now and they are averaging about 21,000 w00ts per week, so.... uhh... well, we aren't going to catch them. :banghead:

Now the next team up, Team Denmark, is at 587,211 and they are only averaging about 450 w00ts/day so if we take the delta (587,211 - 555,236 = 31,975) and divide it by an expected minimum average output of... hmmm.... maybe 1600 w00ts/day we can catch Denmark in 20 days, give or take. :bbanana: :D

Hey Farley, are you sure you want all that in the report every day? :roflmao:

[Farley]

:roflmao:

I should of known better than to ask an engineer a simple question.

hehe Just the difference between us and them. Even if we aren't going to catch them when they pass the team ahead of them we'll still have an idea of time-to-stomp.

:lol: the WPD, comparson and over all gain or loss is a little more than I was askin for :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Something like this:

Our current team position is shown as 77, with 555,296 units and 679 returned for the day. Currently 31,975 w00ts behind Team Denmark On this day we outproduced Team Denmark, Hardware Upgrade, Team Canopus and Seti Alpha AU. We must continue the push for adding new members and revitalizing existing ones so we can forge ahead. Ever onwards and upwards, Ninjas!!

If you do, I just hope your life insurance premiums are fully paid up. :p

[Arian]

Yeah, didnt think about that one. At the time she couldnt leave the bed to get me, not so sure now.
Hmm
Must try to resist

[Hogward]

If his life insurance is paid up, he will be in even MORE jeopardy!! Whew! DON'T DO IT, ARIAN!!! SAVE YOURSELF!!! :lol:

[Arian]

But i just had to catch the moment, I am weak willed.
They say a good picture says a thousand words, well this one certainly does.
