Novembers Contest!!

[Scott]

This month contest will take a very big twist.

The Prize is a XFX 8800GT XXX


Here is what you have to do to win.

1. Guess who my avatar is correctly. The one who guess the most correctly during the month will win.

2. But to keep help out the Folding@Home you must do at least 20 work units in the month for the Bjorn3D team.

Here is the contest Avatar thread: http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19101

And if you live out of the USA and win you may have duty fee's or taxes to pay on the prize.

Good luck to all.

Scott

[borschtBomber[SS]]

This should be fun, my first guess is in lol

[Acidtears33]

I also guess Larry David
(Is it only the first guess that gets the point?)

[Xero (1)ne]

Gah, I know I won't be able to keep up. Good luck to the rest of you though!

[borschtBomber[SS]]

This could be very tough..I thought I had it with Larry David. Put my next guess up, only based on the black outfit, its really hard to make out the face in such a small pic though.

[werty316]

Mmmmm this should be quite fun.

[peti1212]

Ok, so let me get this strait. So the person who guesses the most right and does all the 20 work units wins?

[Scott]

YES!

[borschtBomber[SS]]

holy crap..that avatar is gonna be tough

[werty316]

Wait, I though you the one who guesses wrong and completes 20WU wins? lol

Now that everything is cleared up no one neededs to participate now :dielaffin:

EDIT: That avatar looks funky and because its so small and not very detailed I foresee that no one will know for a while and it'll get changed by default unless someone actually recognizes it. You can't use anyone of the same person Scott?

[tomato]

Heh, this could be fun :) Cool idea 8)

[zachig]

Hehehe...nice idea for a contest!!! :grin: Finally something that have never been done before. :lol:

Let the contest begin ;-) and most important...GOOD LUCK everyone! :icon_tiphat:

[werty316]

I think you either need to take a guess or delete your post on the "ENTRIES ONLY" thread...

[Victor]

heheheh, awesome contest. Man, when I saw Scott's constant changing avantar, I thought, mmmh could this be the contest. I guess I was right.

mmmh, XFX is alwasy giving us great prizes, I wonder coudl this month be the much desired 8800GT.

[zachig]

I think you either need to take a guess or delete your post on the "ENTRIES ONLY" thread...
Oops sorry!!! :redface: Anyway, I've just checked and it was already deleted. :ahhhhh:By who? I don't know...Scott maybe?

You're right, next time, only if I think I know the answer I'll post it there, as I just didn't notice it's "Entries ONLY" :icon_tiphat:

[Schwarz]

I'd say XFX will give out there 8800GT as a prize.
Would be a logical since bjorn will review it pretty soon :)
Anyways good luck people.
Seems like a nice contest, pretty original anyways :p

[westy87]

Aww I suck with naming people but I'll give the work units a bash and if I know someone then I'll have a guess lol

[PP Mguire]

Ill try and get our G2 server running this month for folding but with my internet connection currently the way it is im out of this contest. Good luck everybody!

[borschtBomber[SS]]

arrgghh, Don Henley....that one was familiar...I just couldn't place it.

[bobletman]

I cant name people for shat. WOW im screwed for this.

[sushrukh]

I don't think, i'll be able to recognize even one of them.So, i'm out of the contest. :(

[zachig]

I don't think, i'll be able to recognize even one of them.So, i'm out of the contest. :(
Yeah, I'm also quite "weak" in this stuff, so I'm pretty sure I don't stand a chance in this contest :frown:, but I'll give it a shot anyway...;-)

[Nocutius]

Wow Scott somehow infected everyone, people started changing avatars like crazy.

[bobletman]

MT!!!

[goldenchessboard]

sorry wrong answer

[zachig]

YAY!!! :grin: I got the last one, it was Josh Lucas! ;-)

I'm starting to like this game! :grin:

[westy87]

YAY!!! :grin: I got the last one, it was Josh Lucas! ;-)

I'm starting to like this game! :grin:

Who? lol

[zachig]

Who? lol
Don't you know this guy? ;-)

[werty316]

It seems us the younger generation has a disadvantage if the avatars are of a person who is ancient...

[slugbug]

Good for us old guys then :grin:

[=CDU=Above]

Whippersnappers.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

LOL, what about us middle aged (30) folks ;)

[zachig]

I guess we need a hint or something, as I see no one guessed who is the person in the avatar so far...:frown:

What do you say, Scott? :-?

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Yeah, this is a tough one for sure, its been driving me batty lol

[borschtBomber[SS]]

So =CDU=Above's latest guess has me wondering....Scott, are your avatars gonna be famous people or can they be people in your life ie parents, etc ?

[tomato]

No hints! :? He shouldn't answer your query and leave it completely open. It makes it more challenging that way :P (too challenging?)

[zachig]

Going to sleep now :sleep:(it's almost MIDNIGHT, Israel Local Time :lol:), so hopefully when I'll wake up tomorrow someone finally will get the answer...OR...maybe we'll get a hint eventually :roll:.

[westy87]

I'm so good at picking out celebs that if you show me a picture of bruce willis chances are ill call it tom hanks. Wait, I even know 2 celebrities names? Wow

[zachig]

Hehehe...:lol:

[Scott]

They are celeberties so far.

[SonicWRX]

In the current avatar there are two people are both names required? If not the man or the woman? We have all been assuming the guy...

[tomato]

Heh, good question!

[Scott]

Its the man and he is a singer songwriter.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

oh geez...those entries are getting crazy.

[werty316]

Crap, I was about to post a list of Canadian singer/songwriters :dielaffin:

[SonicWRX]

Sorry. :lol:

[SonicWRX]

After being stumped on the Donnie Iris one (and being from Pittsburgh) its payback time. :icon_tiphat:

Seriously though I asked like 6 people all older than I about the Donnie Iris one and NO ONE (all from Pittsburgh just like Donnie) knew.

[slugbug]

So what's the score right now? I still haven't got one :(

[borschtBomber[SS]]

I think there is myself and a couple others with 3 each, but I'm not positive.

[zachig]

So what's the score right now? I still haven't got one :(
I've just updated the current Scores here:

[=CDU=Above]

Ten hours of work and 8 hours of sleep and you people have waded through 5 names?
Does nobody else have jobs anymore?

Either that or there all kids.

[SonicWRX]

[borschtBomber[SS]]

LOL, I think that last one had to be

[SonicWRX]

;108535']LOL, I think that last one had to be

It was a shot in the dark

BOOM HEADSHOT!!!


:keepfolding:

[slugbug]

At this rate I'll be lucky if I guess one correctly :ahhhhh:

I've noticed a lot of people posting comments in the "entries only thread".

[=CDU=Above]

Yeah well good luck to you all. I'm not home enough to keep up and I don't think my sysytem will do the 20 WUs anyway.

Good luck to those that are still in it.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

I'm kind of getting burnt out on it myself. :x

edit: Maybe Scott should require a pic accompany a guess to prevent the mass guesses. Its getting rediculous trying to wade through all the posts now.

I agree but there are times when have known with out a doubt who it is and have not wanted to wait and miss the first post. I guess i could have edited it with the pic later when i found it.

I will have the 20 done in plenty of time. I almost consider having two ATI graphics cards cheating. Almost that is. hehe

[tomato]

I suck as well at guessing Scott's avatar. I've only recognized 1 or 2 of the pics, and I'm not online nearly as often as required apparently :P :? ;) It is a really fun idea though :)

Well count yourself lucky, I havnt known any!

[slugbug]

Well my 20 WUs are done but I haven't guessed one avatar yet :ahhhhh:

[zachig]

Well my 20 WUs are done but I haven't guessed one avatar yet :ahhhhh:
I think Scott should change this Contest Rules and just pick one winner randomally from all members who have completed 20 WUs ;-), but than it'll be unfair for those guys who are currently leading the Scoreboard...:???:

[werty316]

Damn straight, the person who guesses the most of Scott's avatars deserves to win.

[zachig]

Damn straight, the person who guesses the most of Scott's avatars deserves to win.
OK, OK!!! Sorry, I was just kiddn' :icon_tiphat:

Like I said, it would be nice if everyone stood the same chance to win, but like you said, the person who guesses the most REALLY DESERVES to win! ;-)

[slugbug]

I think we need a clue :help:

[Schwarz]

A contest is a contest I guess.
There will be many more coming so don't worry guys.
So people played by the rules and guessed a few avatars so I guess changing the contest rules would be a little cheap and unfair.
Anyways thats my opinion.

[tomato]

Must we start this up again?! :? :( :( Rules is rules. Play or not, it's your choice. 'Nuff said.

[=CDU=Above]

Well my 20 WUs are done but I haven't guessed one avatar yet :ahhhhh:

And I have a few guesed but only 7 WUs done. I don't get it. I have it set up correctly and it's been on all month. It's a P4 3.2 and it's just slow on the completing the WUs. I don't know what else to try to fix it.

[bobletman]

Try deleteing and downloading it again. doubt that will help though

[slugbug]

We need a clue please Scott :help:

[Scott]

Clues, I gave you one. He played a fighter jock of sorts and played a pretty boy con man type. He is a face man.

[werty316]

How about we do something like this, whoever asks for a clue gets one point deducted from their score? :biggrin: :dielaffin:

[zachig]

[werty316]

Congrats Sonic and enjoy that sweet video card :thumleft:

[bobletman]

Ya grats your a very very lucky man. :-D

[Sadasius]

Ha no luck required....Just a heck of a knowledge use of Google and the right key words.... Thats what gave me help, I used nothing else and knew none of the avatars. Heck some I did not even know after it was revealed. So hats off to ya as you have earned it and enjoy your card. I may be buying 2 of them for SLi myself.

[tomato]

Congrats to Sonic ;) Enjoy your sweet new card!

[peti1212]

I fold all the time. To date I have folded 1,245 towels, 650 T-Shirts, and 154 pairs of underwear. I really hope they find a cure soon because I hate folding underwear.

[Scott]

HA HA, that is so funny I peed me self. I have Peg do all the folding, the only bad thing is she always wants to have sex after it.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

lmao...but that made me laugh even harder haha:lol:

[sushrukh]

Nice one Gonzo.Made me laugh pretty hard.:grin:

EDIT :- Just noticed, i've 2000 posts.Wow.2000 posts in 11 months isn't bad. :)

[zachig]

I think it's the first time in a VERY LONG time that we won't have a monthly contest!!!

I guess that Scott and Bjorn3D have spoiled us too much...:lol:

That's fine with me. So I'll just keep enjoying Bjorn3D! ;-)

I'm not worried...I'm pretty sure that after Christmas is over, Scott will surprise us with another GREAT prize! :grin:

Keep folding, keep posting and keep visiting the forums!!! :icon_tiphat:
