Oh dear, I didn't expect that, but here we go:

The rules:

The Last Person To Post Here Wins Thread, general rules:

1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules.
2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.)
3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached.
4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them.
5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread (use the red cross to notify them)
6. Go to 1.

Have fun and post while you can. RAC is falling like a stone.

Let me congratulate you while I still have RAC.
I'm also the winner!

Congratulations on your unexpected win :-)

Fingers crossed we'll get some more work soon so that there are people around to post on your shiny new thread ...

Thanks Gary and SusieQ.

Yeah unless there is more work here, ita ain't going to be many who can post here.
I guess though, that the mods can still post with an RAC of 0.

Looks like we've all survived this week's RAC recalculation :-)

Who do we need to go to with our begging bowls to get more work?

I believe that Eric controls what happens at Beta.

Yes and IIRC it is Eric alone.

Well, I won't touch the new work until the WoW event is over.
But, thank you Eric, for saving this thread :-)

Currently every available CPU core and GPU I posses is focused on WOW and the Raccoon Lovers. ;-)

I will divert some crunching power here after 16:00 UTC on the 29th
