  • 2 weeks later...

Been a member of the group since the end of November, alas no PS3 to help me fold but the Q6600 is running two clients and not breaking a sweat so i should be helping with the points a bit ;)

The goal for next year? Break the 750 Barrier, then the year after the 500 Barrier and so on. Would be a good goal to stick to.

Yeah we are doing really well been watching us get a couple of positions a day.

Based on our current and other teams folding we will be at position 800 in 39 Days. Obviously that's if we keep up our rate of production and everyone else stays at the same rate of production.

hmmm now if only i could get the SMP client to work :angry:

Hmm

I hope you guys can shed some light on this

My friend just did 1 WU and got 1760 points/score (Using Core2Duo E6600)

Ive done 35, but I only have a score of 7481 - which should be ~214points for each WU(Using a PS3)

Why the difference?

Every WU is different. The longer it takes to do, the bigger it is and the more amount of points it's worth.

He is running the SMP Client like i am, each work unit is worth around 1760 points and takes my Q6600 @ 3.0GHz 17 Hours to complete with pretty much all of my processing time given to the SMP Client, give or take a little bit.

Due to the amount of time taken to compute the work unit the work unit is awarded more points.

Points FAQ

Do you think it would be possible to get this initiative posted on the main page during a slow news day? I know many people may not frequent the Gamers or Sony Console forums to notice this thread and i am sure many of the members or even regular readers would be willing to participate and contribute their spare CPU cycles.

yeah that is a nice idea, I would love to see more people in the group. :)

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
